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.

any help would be greatly appriciated PLEASE im stressing out since i only got 70 left for thsi week LOL.

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.

    • Cheers fellas, I got a price for a r33 gtst box was 1500 including post and thought it was too cheap  
    • The SS button head cap screw on the back? If so, good to know. I presumed it was there for basic assembly and nothing more. 
    • Hello, everyone. I'm new to the forum. I have a 1989 Nissan Skyline R32 GTR. I have lost all power to the interior, including AC controls, the gauge cluster, turn signals, and windows. Stuff that still works includes the horn, brake lights, radio, and headlights. All fuses, in the interior and exterior boxes, tested good.  It starts and runs fine, just with no gauge power or anything stated above. No warning lights either. Things that I have tested: - Fusable link tested fine - No other fuses blown - Alternator good - IGN switch tested fine - With my power probe, I can backfeed power through the IGN pin to the plug on the back of the gauge cluster, and everything comes back on.    So my theory is something on the control side that sends the ignition power through the system isn't doing its job, or a wire is broken. (I would think that it is the ignition switch that would do that, but who knows?). The ignition relays don't fire (all relays tested good). So what tells them to fire other than the IGN switch?  I would really appreciate it if someone had some insight on this. I have tons of hours into this; I don't want to give up in defeat! I have the HD wiring diagram, but having all those wires laid out like that on one sheet of paper makes things pretty hard to follow.  Thanks for reading, and thanks for the replies.  Where should I look next? Thanks.
    • Install a MAP sensor pre and post throttle. Best data you could have for NA, then play with the bends and/or air box and see how much of inflection is created at WOT on the plot.
