No, but you do have the same part (dashboard) as cars that do have TC and you have the same globe test wiring as everyone else. The lights all light up, not under the control of their various ECUs, but by a simple circuit that puts power on all of them with the ignition on and nothing else running. It's so you can see if the globe is working or not.

By TC light you mean "slip" light I'm thinking?

GTSBoy is correct, it's there so that Nissan could unify dashboard diagnostic and indication circuitry. It's meaning as an indicator is different depending on model though - on GT-t's it blinks when traction control kicks in, on GT Fours it blinks when TCU detects inequality of wheel speeds and engages ATTESA.

Your cluster was probably replaced with one from a car that had traction control. From factory the bulbs would be removed if the car didn't have TC.

this makes sense but im almost certain it hasn't been changed, previous owner possibly replaced leds in the dash and added that one back in again

and not its not the slip light as i have that also

but yeah i was just curious as to why it would be there still if there is no TC on all N/A models which have a different cluster with out the turbo made up for them anyway youd think they'd take the TC light out too

You can switch it off and unplug it but of you still rip the hand brake hard and flick it right out it will still come. Find the fuse and pull it out but light mite Tay on

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
