ok after installing a new boost gauge (mech 2 bulbs 3w each)

relise they were blown. so went out and bought news ones. this time guy said 4w each should be fine.

installed them and got everything to work.

went out for dinner in mates car, come back and show him and relise i have no cluster or parkers lights.

just this morning car sounded like it wouldnt want to start, it ok now, still sounds like it under wattage or some kind.

i now dont have the rear lights just fronts, brake lights still works, no parkers and none that work in my cluster. everything else is fine. the lil siren that alerts u that ur keys and lights are on are now dont give off the warning.

Have you checked the "interior illumination" fuse yet?

I'd say you might be shorting somewhere in that new boost guage dude. Remove the wiring, then change the fuse, and leave it like that until you can check it out.

Best to use a multimeter when doing ANYTHING electrical, in my opinion. Strap the red wire on, with everything off, and then do a continuity test. If you use the multimeter on the red wire at the boost-guage end, and then use the black multimeter wire and touch part of the body, it shouldn't beep. Then put the red multimeter wire on the black wire to the boost guage, and the black multimeter wire to the body of the car, and it SHOULD beep... that tells you that you are testing on a good earth spot.

      Surely, just about any shop that has done a Skyline (or Supra, or RX-7, or EVO, or WRX) will have done E85. But perhaps you need to specify what type of car, what type of engine, what ECU, you propose to be using.

      Try an oil additive. There's a couple of options for "easier shifting". These are essentially a similar idea to what Redline put into their Shockproof gear oils. I had a 2nd hand R33 (in fact, as of right now, it is still in the car) that simply would not engage any gear with the engine running, with normal gear oil in it. We dropped that and replaced it with Shockproof lightweight, and suddenly the gear lever did what it was supposed to. At a cost, of course, of the then ongoing damage to internals done by running Shockproof. But the synchros were already totally uninterested in life, so there was no loss.

      It always ends with the car burning down.

      I see what you posted, but how could a warning light be going on and off if there is no sender for it?  The only other explanation is that the wire that used to go to the sender from the warning light is earthing somehow in the loom or at the connector, or that you have connected the warning light wire to something (maybe the temp sender?).

      The original pressure sender (switch) had the standard connector and the temp sender had the single terminal connector also. The pressure switch is gone and those wires eliminated from the harness.  I left the temp wire as I too used the temp sender to plug the extra hole. I was hoping for an easy answer but I guess I'm going to need to trace some wires to see where my ghost oil pressure light voltage is coming from or maybe I'll just pull the bulb out as there's no pressure switch any longer.
