Ok so guys,

Ive got a few problems Ive been trying to fix but your local mechanic isnt really a wealth of knowledge when it comes to a 350GT, We're dealing with an 03' 350GT coupe, but with 06' taillights and headlightls, my questions are as follows,

1. My right reverse light has gone out and I think I need to replace the globe, when I take apart the boot lining the cabling run directly into the body of the car toward my taillight, how do I get to it?

2.My cigarette Lighter doesnt work and hasnt for a while, being a jap import I havent got a clue where the fuse box would be, does the one next to the battery in the engine bay have the fuse for it? because I cudnt find it, or is there another box? and where is it?

With reverse lights, is just one out or both?

May be reverse light switch which is under car, ontop of transmission (pain in the ass to get to)

It may also be a fuse which from memory is either inside the fuse box in engine bay or one of the ones behind battery

TO get to the cabling in the rear

1. Took out boot floor mat

2. Grip the boot plastic seal thing (that your boot closes on) and gently lift from one end and continue to pull off

3. Remove the plugs (2 i think) from the lining (below the boot plastic seal you just took off)

4. Now on each side there are another 2 plugs you need to remove (big ones)

5. now once all plugs are removed you can take out the long liner (just the one covering the back of the lights)

6. you will need to take out light to change bulb (3 10mm nuts) need to be removed and then there is a seal that the wires rung through in the body work, push it in towards the lights (and unplug the connector to the cables)

7. take out headlight

There are 3 fuse box on the 350GT.

1st: just beside the battery

2nd: it's in the same compartment with the battery, but you'll have to take the plastic cover off the battery compartment, and take the plastic cover in front of the winscreen (just 2 pins)

3rd: beside the Acceleration paddle, on the right side. There's a small plastic door which you can take out to access it, if not you have to take the whole plastic out.

The tail lights, you will have to take out all the plastic cover too. Just strip everything in the boot near the light area

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Sounds good.  I don't 100% understand what your getting at here. When you say, "I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down" do you mean this - there is a panel with factory paint, without any prep work, they paint the entire panel with primer, then colour then clear?  If that's what you mean, sure it will "stick" for a year, 2 years, maybe 3 years? Who knows. But at some stage it will flake off and when it does it's going to come off in huge chunks and look horrific.  Of course read your technical data sheet for your paint, but generally speaking, you can apply primer to a scuffed/prepped clear coat. Generally speaking, I wouldn't do this. I would scuff/prep the clear and then lay colour then clear. Adding the primer to these steps just adds cost and time. It will stick to the clear coat provided it has been appropriately scuffed/prepped first.  When you say, "but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat" I am imagining someone not masking up the car and just letting overspray go wherever it wants. Surely this isn't what you mean?  So I'll assume the following scenario - there is a small scratch. The person manages to somehow fill the scratch and now has a perfectly flat surface. They then spray colour and clear over this small masked off section of the car. Is this what you mean? If this is the case, yes the new paint will eventually flake off in X number of years time.  The easy solution is to scuff/prep all of the paint that hasn't been masked off in the repair area then lay the paint.  So you want to prep the surface, lay primer, then lay filler, then lay primer, then colour, then clear?  Life seems so much simpler if you prep, fill, primer, colour then clear.  There are very few reasons to go to bare metal. Chasing rust is a good example of why you'd go to bare metal.  A simple dent, there is no way in hell I'm going to bare metal for that repair. I've got enough on my plate without creating extra work for myself lol.

      Hi, Got the membership renewal email but haven't acted yet.  I need to change my address first. So if somebody can email me so I can change it that would be good.

      Bit of a similar question, apprently with epoxy primer you can just sand the panel to 240 grit then apply it and put body filler on top. So does that basically mean you almost never have to go to bare metal for simple dents?
