Hi all,

Ive been a member for about a month now and have finally got myself a r33 4 door auto.

I got it because it has everything i was going to do to it, exhaust white face el dash and wheels.

The only thing wrong is that the el dash wont light up, and i dont have the wiring diagram, so i was woundering if anyone here has one they could scan as a pic for us. Ive had the dash apart to re wire the stereo, and have had a look at the cluster but I cant find the problem.

Any help would be great thanks. :)

P.S This site is f*kn awsome. :dry:

Have you found the little box that dims it down yet maybe under the dash ??

Yes I have found the box, it has 2 grey wires that go to the dash (these wires are spliced so they make 4 pluge for each el light), 1 red and 1 black power wire, then a 5 wire ribbon type which goes under the steering wheel that has 4 buttons on it.

If the key is out of the ignition and i flick the parkers on, the el lights will give a quick flash then nothing, i am currently strugling to read the dash at night with only the normal dash globes, the needles are bright, but the faces are very dull, hope this helps, and thanks for the reply.

Have you tried putting a meter on any of the connections to see if you have power at the plugs, reckon you will have to pull the dash out to check...its the only way....but first check the RED and BLack for good Power and chassis earth

Could be just a bad earth or splice into the power.

Thankyou very much for your reply, it was a bad earth but still only the tacho and the oil pressure would light up, so i pulled the dash out again to check to wires going in to the other gauges and found a broken wire. So now is all fixed and looks great.

Once again thankyou for your help!! :sorcerer:

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
