Where To Buy/what To Do: Dash Lights, Towbar


Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

Does anyone know where can I buy a replacement globe for the light in the climate control panel for my R33? It's the tiny little globe with a flat backed plastic retainer that you turn out with a screwdriver, it has the globes legs wrapped around it. As it's not a commodore or falcon part, Supercheap don't stock them, so does anyone know if a Nissan dealer would carry them or whether anywhere else sells them? I could always try converting the little plastic container to hold an LED but wouldn't mind just getting a replacement straight away.

Also, I'm going to need a towbar soon for towing a bike trailer, so what have you guys with R33 Coupe's done about towbars? I've read some of the technical forums, but I'm not sure if the 180/200sx ones will fit, or whether I should just get a custom one made up. Any help or hints there would be appreciated!

Cheers!

Do yrself a favour and buy a set of LED's from 666DAN... ive had a set of blue ones for 6 months and theyre great. Perfect excuse for some interior bling! (Search forums for dan's led's)

T-10 globes are too big, I've got a set of them here that I used in my old car.

My trusty digital verniers have just informed me that the actual globe size is the T-5 size, however it's not the regular T-5 wedge or blade shape that you get at Supercheap, these globes live in a little plastic insert (and no, it's not just a wedge/blade globe stuck in there) which looks to me like the one unit (until you break the wires and pull the globe out like I did >_>)

So they're a T-5 size, just not the standard connector. I'll check out that eBay store.

Any ideas about the towbar anyone?

go see a towbar specialist my understanding is R33's are only a half chasiss car and you will need proper purpose built stuff anyone confirm?

as for the ebay store you wont find the globes your after but i know he does the kit so just message him and tell him what your after

    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
