r u talking about the "instrument cluster"? which is the instrument display with the mileage, speedo etc etc?

generally they come out, but ALOT OF screws in some cars and very fiddly to take out.

and sometimes in some cars the instrument cluster comes out but the plastic display screen does not come off the unit.

im not too sure about R33 GTS-25t.

i would suggest find the Workshop manual. and it should have some info on how to remove and install.

im pretty sure you can get to it pretty easily, its been a while since i touched mine. 20min job to get out if you know how to take your centre dash console off.

I had a big hunsman that would run across the windscreen once in a while for months...would scare the jebus outta me. found it dead in the engine bay.

I used to park my daily at night across the street under some gum trees. :yucky:

I've never seen so many Huntsmen spiders in my life, until a bushie told me that they come down off the trees at night.

Back then, I used to scare the living daylights out of the check-out chicks in the Drive-thrus.

lolz :mad:

lmao this is hilarious, i get ants here and there, i find them on the car, inside it sometimes, not huge masses, but one or two here and there, so tempted to let off a bug bomb under the car outside or something

Jam a small bird in there to get it, but then you will need to jam a small cat in-ect ect

Sorry.

GENIUS!

Then when you remove the dash cluster, you can sell it to one of those freaks who collect 'bonsai cats'

should make enough for a new cluster and have some change :banana:

This sir is a horrific topic. I could not get in the car at all should it be dead or alive...however dont they shed their skins? could the bigger newer improved model be waiting to launch its attack when you least suspect it?

Sorry.

but then u need a dog to get in to catch the cat

you jammed the cat to catch the bird ...

you jammed the bird to catch the spider ...

That wriggled and jiggled and wiggled inside

then ull need to jam a goat to catch the dog............

:(

      Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.

      https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
