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

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
