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.

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
