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

    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
