Bro, it seems like people have been replying but not answering your question. You want to know where the interior fuses are,right? ok, sit in your driver's seat and place your hand, palm facing up on the trim to the right of your steering wheel, but a bit lower, now feel with your fingers for a dug out part, your 4 fingers at the bottom should go into it. Pull that back and a part of the trim will come off. your fuses are in there. Your cigarrete lighter fuse will be the 4th or 5th one on the right column (thers 2 colums of fuses) its a blue 15A fuse. Mine went the other day. good luck

cheers

Sorry thought you were asking *which* fuse not where is the box.

As above, take a look with the drivers door open from outside the car, its not that hard to find the fusebox cover...its the same area on most cars I've seen...(see above)

Just do wat Benzino33 says. Come on prove u r a man lol :D:down::P:)

I'm not sure a bout the 4 fingers :) It's a japanese car so it's asian lol

gona take a look for that fuse box 2moro.. till then i managed to partially fix my cig lighter.. lol what i mean is that my tail lights n dash lights went out other night so i swapped the horn fuse with the tail light fuse and the tail lights and dash were fixed and the cig lighter now works.. ... but only when i turn my head lights on.. when i turn my head lights off anything plugged into cig lighter also switches off, wtf? someone please explain..? everything else is normal

Why u mixing fuses? U might be using the wrong Amp fuse that wont work properly. make sure theyre the right numbers

I swapped the horn n tail light fuses as i was driving long distance at night and didnt wana get pulled over for no tail lights (another driver on freeway alerted me bout my tail lights being out). The horn fuse was the one i figured i wouldnt need as much and being both 10amps i swapped them.

I bought a new 10amp fuse for the horn today,horns working but the cig lighter doesnt work unless my headlights are on.. i duno whats goin on. at least the cig lighter works at night tho now lol. might see a sparky if the interior fuse seems good

It's under the dash by the driver's door. You should be able to see it pretty easily--right where the hood (bonnet) release lever is.

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG is has not responded to my emails so far after purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
