my cigarette lighter is not working! i am pretty sure it is a blown fuse but i have had a look in the fuse box under the bonnet and in there all is fine. My manual says there is a internal fuse box in the passenger compartment but i cannot find it at all! please help

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.

    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.      
    • It sounds like you want what the Toyota Landcruisers have for their roof racks. Wanna know what you end up with? Rust holes in the roof, and water everywhere...
    • Discovered today that if I select reverse first and take my foot off the brake, then select drive, the drive indicator light works and so does the tiptronic gear indicator. 
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Does anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
