Hey guys,

Excuse me for being a noob-ass idiot but yeah i need some help.

I recently bought an 1994 R33 and just found out that my cigarette lighter does not power any sort of charger that I put in.

It looks kinda flimsy at the moment and its obviously not working so...

Does anyone know how to re-wire a cigarette lighter thingy?

or

Am I screwed for buying a phone charger?

Thanks a lot,

=Dhiv=

is it the fuse?

My lighter's stuffed as well and won't light the lighter let alone charge anything and the fuse is gone I've been told it's pretty cheap to fix, ring around some auto sparkies in your area see who can fix it for you, may only have to pay for the fuse

cigarette lighter has its own fuse, located to the right under steering wheel in the fuse box thing.. 4th from the bottom on the right hand side - 15A fuse. You can buy them at most servos for like $2, i've bought some from Shell before.

Dude, if he can't figure out if it's the lighter or the charger then I highly suggest going to an auto sparky before playing with wires himself... :)

lol my cig lighter wasnt working but i blew the lil bit of dust/dirt etc off the fuse area, then made sure the fuses were securely in which they were, went back in the car and bang its working. always a logical reason why things stuff up.. just try the easy ones first cos u never kno! then see a sparky. Mind u if u see someone genuine and the problem is simple they shouldnt charge u much at all! and if u do find a genuine person maybe by a lotto ticket on ur way home lol :)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
