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

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
