so i've finally decided to change my bulbs in the R33 gtr dashboard to LEDs. It was suppose to be a clean, easy swap as i've done it on my other r33 gtst.The lights were good for a good second but when i turn it off and on again, it was blank.

all the other functions like check engine oil, hicas, 4wd, door open etc are working fine, only the damn backlight to the speedometer and rpm meter refuses to turn on. I have a blitz boost meter hooked up too, the backlight only turns on if i turn on the headlights now its gone too! And that beep when i have my headlights on with the keys in are gone too!!!!

anybody got any idea what's wrong? I thought it was a fuse but they all seems to be fine.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      How many of you guys run the synchro os giken set and at what power? Do you then also use the billet plate?  How is it launching with it, any dragy times from 0-60? 60ft?

      Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
