there a standard dick smith job replacement, blue leds look good on the recycle and demist buttons cos ive done that already, but dont use leds for the main lighting, it wont light up properly because blue leds have a very narrow lighting angle

yeah, in my article I put a note at the bottom, telling people to sand the led lense abit to help disperse light.

sorry to drag an old thread up.....

I have searched the web and found a supplier with incandecnt and led options for climate control and instrument light in a range of colours

autolumination.com

the #74 and neo-wedge look like they will suit, can anyone confirm sizes for R33?

doubtful. The bulbs need a fair amount of wire on them to coil onto the original holder, which looks nothing like anything standard.

I thought Narva.com.au might have something, but none of their globe-holders will work either!

There's another thread somewhere on this topic too.

Today I put new grain-of-wheat globes in, with blue silcone caps from Narva. It lights up a dim blue...

I also fixed the demister and hazard button lights, which had similar rubber caps on them. My blue looks like N1GTR's picture above, whereas the blue cap on the hazard bulb makes the icon light up a nice bright white. Very similar white to the tacho/speed guages.

Damn Nissan and their special globes, globe-holders, and silicone caps! I will never get this fixed! =-///

I wonder what the current s15 and other nissan models are using these days...

Im sure they would have completely changed over to LED's but if not then maybe theres a chance they are using the same type still...does anyone know?

If you follow the link in my post, the neo wedge holders halfway down the page are complete assembly with the grain of wheat bulbs in many colours. The #74 bulbs are for the dash backlight and also available in LED

These are used in Sentra and Maxima in the USA .... so I was asking do they look the same and how is size compared to R33s before I order some.

Sorry to dredge up and old post but has anyone gotten hold of these globes, been to several stores and cant find them including dick smiths, jaycar etc. Anyone is south australia found them? The alternative of paying around 20 for a tiny globes is ridiculous

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
