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 :)

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
