Hey guys, My Climate Control on the R34 stopped Illuminating itself. Im guessing that the bulb inside has decided to take a break lol.

Any info i can get on changing it ? Because it makes it a hell-a-lot hard to navigate when im driving at night and try to use the Air Con etc etc.

I only just noticed it last night lol! When the hazard button wasnt illuminated.

Cheers in advanced !!

1. pop off your aircon vents (using flat head screwdriver and a cloth)

2. take out ashtray and undo the screw under it

3. pop off your gear surround (using flat head and cloth near handbrake)

4. under four screws (two top, two bottom, to remove the entire center console including climate control panel)

5. take off the four screws (some only have two) holding the climate control panel together.

6. disconnect the two plugs connecting the climate control panel.

7. you'll notice that there are several 'levers' to open climate control panel itself... i use a guitar pick (or three) to open without breaking any levers.

8. you'll find three twist type bulb holders. twist them to remove.

9. insert new bulbs (t10 i think, not sure though). Or make some new led ones up, by pushing the legs through the two little holes in the bulb holder.

10. check to see if they light up. when it's all back together.

reverse process to install again.

Hope that helps.

Np's man. Dash are T5's I think... the climate control are smaller. Although you can modify the T5 led's dan sells to fit the climate control panel by bending out the legs and sticking them in.

To dismantle the dash..

1. remove the bezel around the dash cluster.

2. unscrew the four screws (two top and two bottom i think).

3. drop the steering wheel to it's lowest point.

4. slowly pull towards the cluster towards you.

5. with your hands, reach in from behind and unclip the 3 or 4 looms connecting itself to the cluster.

6. with all looms disconnected from the cluster, try to pull left (in between the steering wheel) to remove.

7. replace all the appropriate bulbs (make sure they work, as led's have polarity).

reverse to reinstall.

sorry to dig up an old thread. I am based out in the UK and have the same problem and would like to replace my blown bulbs but would like to install the original colour back in. Also i have tried to take the blue plastic cap off the blown bulb and have not been able to do this successfully as it seems the blue cap has been caked onto the bulb from continuous use and age. If someone knows the part number for the original part i would rather prefer that. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.

      Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?

      See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?

      The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.

      And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
