Hey guys,

Just wondering where I can get a replacement globe/LED that goes inside the headlight level adjuster switch in my R34, as it doesn't light up anymore. I'm guessing it will be the same globe as my TCS switch (which still lights up).

Cheers!

oh hmmmm now that you mention it i dont think mine lights up either (i thought this was strange!!!) but as i got the car like that, i never knew any different. would like to find out!

so i'm sorry if im hijacking your thread but this might be useful for others too: what other buttons on the doors/panels light up?

I know my TCS lights up.

Foglight and headlight level adjuster should light up too.

As well as "Auto" on the driver's side window switches.


I've got a spare headlight level adjuster at home, I can open it up and take a photo to see where we can get em from :D

Not from Nissan lol, or you'd have to buy the whole switch to get a globe with it lol, so I've sent out a few enquiries about this little globe, hopefully I'll hear back soon :)

Will keep you updated :)

I have finally sourced some of these globes, in LED, and have changed my blown globe over.

I've got 3 left if anyone is interested, $4.50 pick up or $5.50 posted.

I've also just figured out how to get the numbers (0-3) light up too.

You need to use a sharp knife to ply out the plastic number plate, then flip it around, you'll notice behind the numbers, it is blacked out. So just grab a knife or something sharp to scrape off the black paint :)

Thanks Charles on the suggestion to scrape off the paint, that's much more useful than not seeing the numbers, don't know why they had it blacked out in the first place.! PMed you. Also, this will come in handy because I just realised my TCS doesn't light up anymore.

Hey Charles,

Can you provide me with a part number or something of the replacement globe/led?

Interested in doing this to my R34 also, and perhaps the Auto switch for the electric windows.

Thanks!

Thanks man. I think I have some T3's in the cupboard.

Hey bit of a noob question, but how do you remove the adjuster? Ha...

Attacked it with a flat head yesterday, but kind of bitched out when it didnt budge

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
