what are the last 2 pics of?

is that wen the light is off?

That was when the dials were down at their lowest brightness... just a bad shot with the camera, trying to show that the needles are now lit.... because of me putting the bulbs back in.

Proof that the bulbs dont wreak the el look from underneath

You can actually disconnect the colour change pad... So I use it almost like a remote control... if I ever want to change colour or dim I just plug it in and change it.

As for the large dials, its a bit of an effort but the only way I could get it on was all at once... be very careful not to bend the tiny needle rest spokes poking out.

okay guys ive never really done much work on the line by myself so i was wondering if there is anything else i need to put these in, or can i just take out the dash and install put them in, how simple is it? or should i pay someone to do it for me?

also when you say run red wire to red/blue wire on cig lighter what exactly do you mean by run them, like crimp them together or what do it do? as i said havent done any electrical stuff before so im learning.

At the back of your cig lighter there should be 2 plugs. 1 plug is the big one with 2 wires going to it... leave that one. Cut the other wire (the smaller plug) which is the light and connect the red wire to that and the black wire to any metal on the car. Thats how i got mine working.

Cool, so im gathering once you unplug it, it will still run, but in the memory of color selected, ie if you selected green to be your colour, and you unplug it, it will still stay on green till you plug it back up and change...

Abit off topic but did you fit your grille up yet? Hope it looks good... Cheers

Yeah thats right it has a memory somewhere, it remembers the last setting it had before it was switched off. Does everyone else's gauge's do like a little flicker when they power up?

And yes I did fit the grill looks great, much better since my original grill was stolen! :zap:

    • Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.
    • So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?
    • Ooo I might actually come and bring the kids, however will leave the shit box home and take the daily
    • Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!
    • That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
