Just put the silicon sleeves over the top!

The R34 dash has blue ones in there standardly - I know because I have pulled the dash apart on 2 gtt's - it doesnt look blue on the 34, more like a white with bluey-green huish tones :D

Replace these with red sleeves - you can buy the sleeves from Autobarn or most auto shops, Narva make them as do others and they are between $2.50 & $5 for a pack of 5!

The sleeves fit over the globe - you may find some green or blue ones already on there - Nissan has done this in all 3 of my cars!

My Dash lights are red but that's because I have the Nismo Dash!

Hope that all makes sense - dont have pics on work computer.

problem with the sleeves is that the bulbs generate heat and over time they fade. this has happend to me. thats why i went with the led bulbs as they are already red, alot brighter, and they dont generate any heat. learn from my mistakes and do it right the first time:D lol. my mate did the blue in his rexy and its quite hard to make out the numbers. depends on the shade of blue i guess.

nothign will beat reverse amber el dials though:D:D

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
