Hey All,

The dash lights on my R34 GT-T seem a little dim, Does anyone know a way to make them brighter as I can't find the usual toggle to turn the dash lights up, like on other cars. Thanks

:( I don't think there is one , I've been after trying to get my daytime climate control and stereo lights brighter with no luck they'll come good in a car park thats dark but dim back down as soon as I'm in the sun, covering the dash sensor makes SFA difference in sunlight , there must be another sensor/s somewhere --it's friken annoying. :( if you do find out please post.

During compliance the dimmer that gets fitted (sometimes) is tied up under the steering column, I found my one there.

Just checked under the steering column, took orf the lower panel just to be sure it wasn't lurking and nope, I did however find all the alarm wireing that is hooked into the ignition like a bunch of demented spagetti so I tidyed that up so it wasn't a totaly wasted excercise, there were a couple of unused sockets that looked likely but I'm no auto sparks so WTF they are for I'm stuffed if I know , I need to see one thats already hooked in there to know wtf socket I'm looking for.

:)

This man sells LED dash replacements and he should be shamelessly plugging them too.. shame on you dan, for shame

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
