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 :)

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
