hey everyone,

wierd problem, my number plate lights have stopped working, along with 1 of the reverse lights .... has anyone incured this problem before?

I'm currently trying to find an english conversion/version of the interior fuse box to see if its a fuse problem, however a 'fuse' problem would tell me that "both" reverse lights shouldnt be working not just 1 or the other ..

did a search on here, and doesnt seem to be anyone posting this issue before, but i'm hoping someone might hvae some info on how to help with it...

cheers guys!!

reverse lights are powered thru a single 10A fuse (#71) in the fuse box behind the battery

number plate lights are powered thru a single 10A fuse (#75) in the same fuse box, which also powers your tail lights and parkers.

if either fuse was blown you would have many more lights not woking.

edit - it wont be a fuse problem but heres a quick tip. number plate bulb is a T10. you could swap it with your boot interior bulb to check if its a fuse or possibly a socket problem

reverse bulbs - just swap them around to check if its a fuse or even a poor socket. theyre an oddball T15 i think

its a defect to have any form of light missing/broken its 1 point and $100 if im correct and it also may lead to other deffects as such

Think that you've got two different problems mate.

Try replacing the reverse light bulb and not worrying about the number plate. If people can't see it at night, that's a good thing... right?

Interesting...Got pulled for it in NSW and just claimed that I didn't realise - which I didn't (long trip from Brisbane to Sydney and was tired).

Copper allowed me to drive to a servo and pick one up. Just let me off like that, hence why I didn't think it was defectable.

Also, this was when I was in my S13 and looked like a h00n!

well got some bulbs from mate @ http://www.86forums.com.au , these LED fancy thingos, just need to get some time to try slot them in ...

and with the reverse light, my rachet broke, so i cant get the damn tail light out :( was one of those weekends

errr , im just worried about getting the lights working over the # plate :P

currently 1 reverse light still lights up a bit, sux where I live its a dark corridor to reverse down, so i've gotta feather the brake to help me see if any kids decide on doing a bolt

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
