Hi,

I've been scowering the internet looking for the location of the reverse light switch on my R33 GTS-T (RB25DET). The lights don't always come on so I suspect the switch is faulty but I don't have a clue where to find it/get to it...

Any help greatly appreciated!!!

Cheers

Its on the side of the gearbox about half way along, drivers side at the same level as the filler plug. Has two wires going into it

It works on continuity so just check it with a DMM. They are often difficult to unscrew for removal so CRC it heavily.

Thanks a million for the reply :whistling:

How exactly do I get to it, do I jack it up or go through the engine bay? Sorry for the noob question but I've never gone near a gearbox before

you have to jack the car up - make sure the car is SECURE on AXLE STANDS before getting under it. never ever ever trust your life to a jack.

drivers side, halfway along the box, right at the top is where it is on the R33. There is a neutral switch and a reversing switch. The reversing switch is the one that's harder to get to, of course :P

You can get in there with a ring spanner if you disassemble the plug (pull your new reversing switch's plug apart so you can see how to do it). I was lucky enough to be able to do mine with the gearbox in place, others have had to loosen the gearbox crossmember or drop the gearbox and push it over to one side.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!

      http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.

      Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?

      Intro/R33 owner

      Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).

      Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
