hey guys,

i moved my audio system from my old car into the skyline on the weekend and now my dash lights and my tail lights arent working...

im pretty sure they are connected to the same fuse so i checked em all and they all seem fine... i even changed some around to make sure they were all good... but it still wouldnt work

then i ripped open the interior dash again to see if all the wiring was still connected and it all seemed fine..

the dash and tail lights were working before i put the system in.. so it must be that i have blown a fuse or havent connected a wire bak properly...

btw I have a pioneer head unit... 6" at the front, 6x9s at the back and 2 amps... which are running the speakers and 2 subs... im not sure if its the power thats making the lights not work...

Any ideas on whats wrong? I cant seam to figure it out... and i dun wanna take the car out tonite without any tail lights :P

any help is appreciated

thanks guys

Umair..

You've used a wire off the stereo loom to ground your stereo huh?

I did the same when I installed mine... happens a bit... just change this to ground to earth(bare metal/screws etc) and replace blown fuse in fuse panel

i've just connected the ground for the head unit thu a screw and hooked up the one of the loom into another screw... and now not only isnt my lights working... my signals have just shut off lol...

HELP!!!

yeh i fixed that up... so now ground to the stereo is running of a screw... and its working fine... i got the blinkers working again... and the ground from the loom isnt hooked up to anything...

but my lights still arent working lol

n all auto electricians are off on xmas holidayz

all the fuses are working fine except the third down in the left colum (10A - Starter Indicator).... i checked it wit the screw driver thingi wit the light in it...even without the fuse its not gettin any power. n i did try changing them around but still nothin.. i dunno if thats related sumhow...

ah well... no driving at night time for a while i guess

if neone has an info lemme know

thanks

There is another fuse panel in the dash(drivers side area, under steer wheel, on a 32 anyway),check here not the engine bay fuse box.

Remove fuse to check, things like globes will still sometimes show continuity (light the tester globe) when connected.

Inspect fuse by eye(blown fuse is usually noticable) and if looks ok try tester.

Test all your fuses if all else fails...

btw. No fuse means no light, light can't work without a fuse.

On my 32 I got around the problem until I worked it out was use the fog lamp button on dash, not sure if 33s are setup the same but worth a shot.

Attached is English translation of fuse box

    • HyperGear. Just get a high flow of the stocker. Good, reliable, and should bolt on. Yes it will want things like a retune once done, so you need to factor this in to your spend too.
    • Hi. Iam looking for some "cheaper" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO. I do not want "big" power just better reliability than the stock turbo which is "fot now" good but is old and i do not think it has "easy" life. One the Skyline here running some "temu" china Turbo but i dont trust those... Thanks!

    • That's kind of what I was getting at saying you'd be here soon regarding length etc being able to add additional restriction.  My assumption (possible donkeys of you and mption) is that the length of hose to an oil cooler, and back, isn't going to be that huge of a loss. Typically you're talking about 1.5m of total length. And so far everyone in our world hasn't had issues with oil not being able to get to a cooler and back, it's more been, how the heck do we get the oil out of the head and back down to the bottom? I'd nearly hazard a guess the biggest issue people have with oil cooling and oil supply, is being able to get the heat out at the cooler itself (not enough air flow, too small of a cooler etc) Also, when people mount them wrong and make really awesome air traps so they've dramatically diminished the cooling capacity.
    • I will rebutt this and the preceding point from Dose....but without doing any calcs to demonstrate anything and without knowing that I am right or wrong. But... The flow capacity of a fluid transfer system is not limited by the smallest orifice or section of conduit in that system, unless it is drastically smaller than the rest of the system. OK, I use the word drastically perhaps with too much emphasis, but let's drill down on what I really mean. The flow capacity of the system is the result of the sum of the restrictions of the entire system. So, to make an extreme example, if you have a network with 3" pipe everywhere (and let's say a total length of only a few metres) and that 12mm ID restriction of the oil filter connection being the obvious restriction, then for any given amount of pressure available, the vast majority of all the pressure drop in the system is going to occur in the 12mm restriction. But.... increase the length of the 3" pipeline to, say 1000m, and suddenly the pipe pressure loss will likely add up to either be in the same order of magnitude, possibly even exceeding that of the 12mm restriction. Now the 12mm restriction starts to matter less. Translate this to the actual engine, actual oil cooler hose sizing, etc etc, and perhaps: The pressure loss caused by flowing through the narrow section (being the 12mm oil filter port, and perhaps any internal engine oil flow pathways associated with it) is a certain number. The pressure loss through, say, -12 hoses out to the cooler and back is negligible, but The pressure loss through -10 hoses out to the cooler, at the exact same length as the above, starts to become a decent fraction of the loss through the 12mm stuff at the filter port. Maybe even it starts to exceed it. I could actually do these calcs if I knew 1) how much oil was actually flowing in the line, 2) gave enough of a f**k to do things that I hate doing for work, voluntarily for a hypothetical discussion. Anyway - I reiterate. It's not the narrowest port that necessarily determines how much it can all flow. It is the sum. A long enough length of seemingly fat enough pipe can still cause more loss than a semmingly dominant small bore restriction.
