Did you check to see if someone has switched the light to "on at all times" rather than "on when doors are open" :D

na, i check that..lol

now the switch is off..

but wen set to turn wen doors open, the light will stay on evan wen everything is close, plus the door light on the dash stays on too!!

so pretty much every time i drive now the dash door light is on...

i no..lol

its got one wire coming out of the door switch..i think it was just red..

it was stil plug in and looked fine..from wat i can..is there a door module, or something lik that in r33's???

my alarm is connect the the interior light..could it be a short, or a lose wire??

i gota look from my alarm mod. and wer those wires connect to..

sounds very much like a door switch issue

check both of them

when they are open they complete the circuit by using the body of the car for the earth

it could also be in the light assembly

its hard to diagnose it with out looking at the car

but its not a real complex system so just go through it slowly and you'll find it eventually

still on..cant seem to find my alarm wiring harness..

i no its connected to the door sensor switch..

coz wen i un-armd the alarm..for the 30 secs the interior light comes on..

den after 30 secs..it switch off..and the imbolizr..turns back on too..

so i think its shorting out der wer the ..

lose wire or something..

anyone ever had problem with the door switch before?

or got an idea wer to start lookin for this wiring?

i think the problem has somethin to do wit my boot light!!!!

would that keep the door light on???

becoz, i was drivin last nit, wen i notice a bit light comin out of my boot, coz i could c light coming from the air vents, that go into the boot, under the rear window..

so i had to take the bulb out to turn it off..

any ideas..

    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
