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

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
