Hey guys,

I have a loose connection going to one of my rear brake light bulb holders (not exactly sure what theyre called). Its causing the brake light to come on when it wants to and also blew a fuse. If you wiggle the wire around evantually it will come back on but as soon as you go over a bump or anything like that its back off. I want to resolder/secure the wire more, but not exactly sure how to get in there to do so. As far as I can see its all one piece and cant come apart. Any ideas?

Thanks, Andrew

If it's anything like my R33 4door & my Bluebird, there is a plastic tab/clip thing on the end towards the middle of the boot. Other end towards the side of the car is kinda just held in with a tongue type dealie.

If you push it in (tab/clip thang) while pulling towards the front of the car, with a bit of jiggling it should let go and swing open for you to expose the bulbs and wires... Took me a couple of goes cause it can stick abit. Firm but gentle is the key.:thumbsup:

Goodluck.

hey mate thanks for the reply but think u may mean how to get to the bulb, I should have explained myself a bit better.

I can get the bulb out of the actual whole light assemble but Im talking about the bulb socket (sorry not sure of the actual name), it may be different on ur 4dr.

Iv taken some pic to show what i mean. i want to get inside the part with the red arrow.

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
