Hey guys I have an R33 S1 GTST, My dash back light has just stopped working. Before it happened, if I turned my head lights on my stereo and climate control panel would dim. Now that my dash lights are not working the stereo and climate control don't dim any more.

Does anyone have an idea of whether there is a relay that switches these functions when you turn on head lights or is it just likely to be the dash bulb?

Also does anyone have the full wiring diagram for all of the car not just the motor and ECU.

Thanks

does your car have a dimmer switch ?

if so, get behind it and check teh wiring, if it looks intact try to bypass the dimmer, or check for power on each side of it.

havent found any body wiring diagrams for 33's yet

have you checked the fuse?

During compliance, they usually put a homo dimmer in to suit ADR, it's usually some piece of shit $1 dimmer that heats up to the sht house and melt eventually. Just tear it out and bin in, trace the wires back to the cluster and connect them back up.

I had this problem after installing a new head unit. Turned out the earth on the standard looms doesn't earth. You haven't added anything to car recently?

What you prob had happen is that there appears to be 2 earth wires but 1 is actually for an illumination signal to dim the head unit. Soon as lights are turned on it pops the fuse.

I ended up earthing to somewhere else instead. But yes as soon as I turned the lights on it popped the fuse.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2

      Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
