Tapping Into R34 Light Circuit?

Hey guys,

Just been installing some LEDs in my R34s interior. Have replaced the cluster and AC unit successfully, I now want to install some more customized lighting such as:

  • Gear stick surround
  • Bottom of the door and/or door light
  • AC air vents
  • Cigarette lighter
  • Key ignition
  • Electric window switch

The gear stick surround would need to come on with the rest of the lights, and the door lights would need to come on only when the door is open, so does anyone know how to tap into the light circuit to connect these to? The air vents would have a switch somewhere.

Also, can someone please tell me how to change the bulbs for the cig lighter, key ignition and electric windows?

One annoying thing I have found though, the cluster LEDs are a different kind of Blue to the AC unit..... The perfectionist in me is annoyed.

Thanks for any help guys!

Gear Stick - connect to the stereo wire that makes it dim when the headlights come on

Cig Lighter - kind of twists and pops out, you need a low profile T5

Ignition - Soldered bulb

Electric Window - Soldered bulb

TCS button - soldered bulb, and mechanism is a pain and literally explodes when pulling open (springs and bearings everywhere)

Doors - would need to be wired back to the harness where the feed for the dome light goes back to.

The dash has blue film lining the back of it, the A/C section doesn't causes a variation in colour

Jaycar or Dicksmith, you'll need a load resistor to suit the Ign and TCS....window is fine

Series 2 has Orange Film

This

You can get a tap into the circuit for doors inside the door jamb pin switch or dome light

That will turn on all leds when open no relay needed , diode yes to stop backfeed or into alarm module

Gtt dont have existing wires for door light

Run wires ! I built a mold to recast in clear ( instead of red )exact replacement door lights ( only gtr has door lights from what I found )

my car has stupid amounts of lighting so pm me if needed

      gauge needle removal

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, so widen your search to any Nissan speedo first, then go wider if needed. I will say though, that there is a better than even chance that what I said first will likely come into play. They quite possibly won't come apart without damage. I tried to disassemble a stepper gauge that I wanted to repair. There was no way that needle was coming off the spindle, and I could not see how the spindle would come out of the mechanism behind. Assembled once, never to be disassembled, was my conclusion. Could be the same on the R34 cluster. Failing that - take the cluster to a workshop that specialises in automotive instrument work. There's usually at least one in every Australian city. They'll either be able to do it for you for small cost, or tell you it can't be done. It might be that "it can't be done" unless you follow some arcane procedure, including trickiness to glue it back together or something, that only experienced techs know.

      R-chassis INNER tie rod torque spec?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, given that I, an engineer, almost never bring out the torque wrench to tighten up chassis bolts, despite fully knowing the theory, and instead rely on feel, which I happen to know is exactly how the majority of mechanics do things, should tell you the level of actual peril that exists from not achieving exactly 88 Nm of torque. How about if I just say then that 88Nm is at the lower end of the correct wheel nut torque range? Everyone knows how to tighten a wheel nut, right? And almost no-one ever brings out the torque wrench for that task

      Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.

      gauge needle removal

      By JC71 · Posted

      I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.

      Ok...its taking me long enough to finally do this.  Feck financial security...heart disease will get me soon enough anyway So welcome to the garage..."Clem" Belsil80 has been running a 370Z in Super TT series. So after entering with him in last years Winton 300 i figured I  need my own car. Seems SAU Vic race cars need to be yellow....{tick} Reckon with enough motor i will be able to make up for the lack of talent and stay ahead of the 370Z... but the LS powered S13 and E36s are a ways up the road Aim is to have a car that doesnt stop or turn but has a bit of shed built motor with jam...maybe some cream  First step is getting this ex drift car log booked I am keeping faithful silver car. As the road-club car gets upgrades the race car wil get the sloppy seconds
