um, okay

so last night i noticed the light behind my turbo gauge continues to stay on like, all the time

it's on the side pillar and it's the only gauge in that area.

i have NO idea how long it's been doing this, but it feels a little warm to touch - not like "burst into flames" warm, but like "yep, that light sure is on" warm

usually i leave car, turbo timer keeps going and everything "turning off" takes care of itself

not anymore it would seem

so how bad could this be on a scale of say, 10?

10 being "mang your cars prolly a molten mess by now" 1 being "i wish i had such a fly night-light"

any help gets high fives

ta..

I want a high 5....

Sound like whoever wired the gauge up, wired the ACC trigger to permanent 12V+.

If its LED based it won't kill your battery anytime soon, but if its incandescent based, start saving for a new battery if you leave it to long.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
