Hi guys i bought a 32 a few months back and the previous owner hadn't replaced the interior lights but didn't leave the old ones in there either. None of the books at car shops have imports in them and i don't know what size to get? Also i am after some coloured ones if i can get them but i have only found clear ones in all the shops. It'd b great if i could get the measurements for size (mm x mm) from someone or if anyone knows if you can get coloured ones? ;)

Do you mean the courtesy light? In the roof lining? They are a pretty standard bullet-style (with the terminals at either end). You should be able to get an idea of the size from the light unit.

If your talking about the middle interior lght you need a 12V 10W globe.

As for colours i have the blue one and it aint worth SH*T. you cant see a thing!!! So get something bright!!!

Also if this helps the globe is 32mm in length and about 8-9mm in width

Sorry to steal the limelight but since we are talking about interior lights, i have an R32 GTS and the passenger side courtesy light is noticeably smaller compared to the drivers side courtesy light. Is this normal?

Also the guts of the passenger side courtesy light looks fairly new which makes me think its been replaced and is not the original. The drivers side courtesy light is crusty and old looking and does not work, so any1 know where are i can purchase new insides for this courtesy light?

cheers in advance :(

Sorry Long Shanks wish i could help you but i have no idea and i don't have courtesy lights in my doors (taken out by the previous owner).

But i have another question if anyone can help, I have all the right light bulbs for the interior lights (glove box, map lights and centre interior) but they aren't working and the glove box one worked before I started trying to get the front and centre interior lights to work. I've checked the fuses and they all seem o.k so what else could it be?

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
