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

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
