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

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
