One or some of your globes seems to be busted.

What kind of Skyline is it? I don't have experience with other Skylines but my R32 was easy to get out. Why don't you upgrade to LEDs while you're at it? They are simple, just plug in and go.

Hey jimmy

I have a R33. Im thinking of changing to a different cluster for the appearance =] I found online for a brand new cluster it cost over $200. If not i'll just replace the globes.

Yeh simple takes about 20-30mins depending how quick u are with screws...just need to replace one bulb behind the dash.

Steps:

Remove ash tray undo 2 screws there on top left/right

You'll have to lift the part off over the gear stick

There'll be two more screws at base of centre console then it'll pop out

You'll have to un-clip the hazards, clock and demister

Under the steering wheel there is a lever, pull it so your steering wheel drops down

Lift the centre console up to detach, it will be clipped in on the airvent

Once thats removed there'll be two screws at the base of the cluster un-screw those, then two in the top arch of the cluster undo those

Once thats removed, there will be one at the top of the cluster in the middle undo that and out it pops

You'll notice a series of i think they were brown screws in the back those are the globes in the centre will be the one to replace

My 2cents, get a set of the blue dash lights to replace all of them at once, makes car look 100% better, just my opinion though

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
