Recently picked up a set of Reverse El Dials for my R33 gts25t,

Was wondering if they are hard to install yourself, are there any DIY guides to it?

My Guess;

1. Take off console/dash

2. Remove Dials/clusters

3. Slip the reversel dials over the originals ones, and connect power to somewhere (err.. cigarette lighter power?)

4. Put everything back together

Can anyone thats done it themselves before assist/guide me, didn't get any installation instructions so its all by GUESS.

Anyone HELP with installing them??

Refer to this page....

I did it myself, the hardest one is the fuel/temp/speedo section...

Basically pull off the gear stick surround, remove the dash surround, steering wheel column covers & unplug all the wires going to the Mirror control, clock, air con unit.

Undo the 4 screws, 2 which are at the bottom of the cluster surround, then 2 at the top which sit vertical.

Remove the surround, then undo the 3 screws holding the cluster in. One in the center, and 2 either side of the cluster.

Unplug the 2 electrical leads running to hte cluster, and the whole thing will come out.

Remove the clear lens. Very easy as it just unclips, same with the black surround. Once black surround is off, you should know where to go from here.

The tacho will need to be removed to put in the factory boost gauge EL dial. Make sure you dont bend the dials as much as you can, cause if they warp, you will find that the needle catches on the tacho or speedo.

Hope this helps...

If you get very stuck, you can always pop round or something and im more than happy to give you a hand taking the car apart...

When you thread the speedo/temp/fuel section wiring through the hole, you will need to cut the wire so you can feed it through, as the clip on the wire that goes to the control unit is to big. Cut it, resolder once you thread the wire through & dont forget the heatshrink or electrical tape to seperate positive and negative.

:P

      Pops when backing off throttle, rough-ish sound through rev range.

      By Duncan · Posted

      It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....

      Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.

      Looking for a part number for this part here

      By Duncan · Posted

      So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
