Hi all

Attached is a pic of the light bulb that is found behind the LCD in the climate control part of a R34 skyline.

It is a bulb and base unit in one, so its not as simple as removing the bulb and replacing it unfortunately. They are pretty small.

Nissan is charging $18.10 for it.

Is there a generic replacement for it? has anyone replaced these with something from another car? something cheaper?

I dont want to be paying $55 for 3 of these things hahaha

Thanks

not sure but the ford globs might fit, the toyota guys recommened them when my dash lights went out in the supra and they look similar to the pic you have there. best bet would be to go in with one and try to match it up.

Man, take that thing in the picture to autobarn and they will have a globe that will match, just check for the save volts/watts. Take the globe out of the little piece of plastic, put in the new one and you are fine!

hey dude, i looked the world over for these and you can get them. tryed all kinds of places. look for the DIY to replace them with LEDs. then they will never blow, plus looks heaps cooler and what ever colour you want...

    • That is way more science than even I would use. I just eyeball it, not even accounting for the non-verticality of the tape measure when held on the lip and the centre at the same time. +/- 2mm is good enough for the girls I go out with.
    • So, before putting them in I need to understand the stock ride height. This is how I measured it: First, check the diameter of the wheel's centre cap, it was 52mm. Then put a piece of masking tape approximately across the centre and measure 27mm (half) from at least 3 sides to get a reasonable idea of the centre of the wheel cap. Mark that with a horizontal line as one measuring point. Then, directly above the wheel on the guard, put another piece of masking tape in approximately the centre. Use a string line to find out the point on the guard above the centre of the wheel cap and mark that. Then it is simple, just a tape measure to check the distance from centre of the wheel to the centre of the guard. Final results where  LF: 381mm RF: 379mm LR: 401mm RR: 400mm Pretty even considering they are 120,000klm old factory springs, lets call that 380 front and 400 rear.
    • So....knowing that I have a problem with power steering temps on track and another Wakefield day booked in next Friday, I've done the obvious thing They are very reasonably priced at $1650, considering they are a big monotube shock, double height adjustable (don't have to change pre-load to change ride height), one way adjustable damping and standard sized and customisable springs if you want something other than what comes with them. They come with 9kg/mm front and 4.5kg/mm front and I went with that as a starting point because I'll add adjustable sway bars too https://justjap.com/products/bc-racing-coilover-kit-ds-ds-infiniti-q50-v37-14-current#description Unfortunately they didn't come with rear strut tops so I've re-used the factory ones which was a bit of a pain. Also, the adjuster for the rear shock will be an absolute nightmare to get at, and while there are extensions in the kit I can't see any way you can actually attach or use them
    • I also had 2 bulbs blow at once, years ago in the stagea. made for a fun drive home. The issue was the voltage regulator had failed in the alternator and it was giving 15+ volts. Really, I was lucky all that was fried were the headlight bulbs. So, I'd suggest you check the voltage across your battery terminals with the car running and warmed up. Yes, you will need a multimeter to do so, sorry.
    • Good work to think to check that, and thanks for coming back to post up the outcome.
