Damn its actually a wedge bulb type fitment for you?

The R34 GTT one is some weird looking bulb+base in one. I have attached a pic.

Haha dude Ive fitted it MANY MANY times, aircon LCD, aircon buttons, dash, triple meter, cigarette lighter, everything except for the ignition.

You cant pull that bulb off the white base, trust me I tried, its not a wedge type design.

And the glass bulb is pretty small, T5 sized almost

Im pretty sure they are T5 or T10 wedges, at least mine arent.

You're right nuffsaid.. it is a bulb in base design. So no wedge.

I had a look at mine, tried to pull it off to no avail. So what i did was smash the globe (harsh I know), and then wired the feet of the led directly onto the base. A bit of stuffing around I know. But it looks trick.

wish i took photos mate.. but i'll try to describe it as well as i can.

1. Following instructions in the first post, remove the steering column cover.

2. Twist to remove the bulb holder.

3. Using a pair of pliers remove/break the bulb.

4. Remove the bulb filament with the pliers, you should then see two holes.

5. Take your blue led bulb, and straighten the legs (two wires + & -) out on it.

6. Chop off the legs to make them shorter.

7. Reinsert. The Dan666 T5s supplied ones just fit the bulb holder, so once squeezed in they should be a really tight fit and unlikely to come out.

8. Test and then reassemble column cover.

Having said the above, I wouldn't really recommend doing it this way and a new wedge bulb holder type holder is definately the more reliable way to go.. so do the above at your own risk. Although it's just a led light, you do really end up destroying the bulb/holder in one thing by performing this mod.

      From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢

      Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.

      Oil pan for RB25DET NEO Stagea "version"

      By Duncan · Posted

      meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
