Interior Fuse Box Problem

Been meaning to post this up for a few weeks now.

Checked my interior fuse box (the one under the dash) just to compare it to what it says in the manual (a JPNZ ENTERPRISES reconstruction of the original japanese version) and noticed a few irregularities.

The diagram (black background with all the John Madden playmaking arrows ;)) shows where my fuses are located.

Yellow background attachment is a photo I took of a page in the manual (pages are actually white but auto-balance made it go all Indiana Jones-like).

So yeh, basically I think I'm missing one of the 20A Blower Motor fuses, I seem to have 2 fuses for nothing and a 20A fuse for the airbag (which my car doesn't have) which should be a 10A fuse anyway??

What's going on? Is my manual wrong?

Also, how do I go about buying replacement fuses? I had a look last time I was at supercheap but noticed there were different types (some additional rating -not Amperage- which differed) of the same Amperage fuses and didn't know what ones to buy.

thanks!

its all correct, trust me, andthe blower has 2 20A stated because there is 2 blower spots, follow that diagram exactly, yours is stuffed around, go by the diagram you have its right on ..the only thing is that on mine i have a 3 amp on the left hand side on the verticatly at the top for my dash lights.

Thanks Mick,

The vertical fuse spaces on the left, I thought they were just for holding spares? You said you have a 3A fuse there for your dash lights though?

So I need to remove the fuses in the sixth row down, both left and right side, because they should be empty yeh?

And I could remove the 20A from the airbag fuse spot because my car doesn't have airbags, and put it in the first blower motor spot that has nothing?

is there any reason why you'd have a fuse for the airbag spot when there is no airbag?? lol Dont know what the previous owner did!!

is there anytime you would use the empty fuses spots (sixth row), like for aftermarket accessories or something they may have had?

Thanks again.

      Ah. OK. I take it back. I hadn't looked closely at the R33/4 arms and presumed that GKTech did as GKTech do everywhere else, which is to use sphericals there. The poly bushings are made to be 100% interchangeable, should use the standard bolt just fine. Every other bush in every other place in pretty much every other car, does.

      @silviaz Ok cool, so much easier with a video. I can see why this video would be confusing for new players.   It is obvious that this entire bonnet is going to be resprayed, have a look in the background around 2:05, you can see a bunch of bare metal on the left side of the bonnet.  It's not an issue for the primer being laid down on the non-prepped clear on the bonnet. It will be sanded off at a later stage.  This might not be obvious to new players, but working on bare metal and factory paint in this instance, the factory paint is like a mountain and the bare metal is a huge valley. The bonnet needs to be levelled flat before it receives it's final stage of colour and clear coat. During this levelling process, the primer that is landing on the clear that you are worried about will be removed.  Also, this guy is out of control. Zero PPE while spraying, maybe he is a good example overall about what not to do lol.

      Ok I FINALLY found a video lol. This took way longer than it should have as I could have sworn I saw multiple videos like this. I kept finding the completely opposite (the correct way of doing this). I wouldn't be surprised if I f**ked this up somehow.  I just realised where I've been getting confused and even with other things I work on. I haven't been doing things the regular way instead I'm going a roundabout way of doing things, like putting epoxy primer first then filler for example instead of putting just filler then primer on top of that, then wondering what happens if I get that primer on the clear coat that I haven't sanded yet. This was a bit of an epiphany 😂  But anyways, here this video. Time stamp, 2:56, some of the primer lands on the paint unscuffed above. You can see from the reflection it looks shiny.

      It does, this part circled in red. I assume the OEM bolt might not work well with the poly bushing because the dimensions may be different?

      The J arm doesn't have bushes either. Assuming that by "J arm" you mean the part of the upright that runs down from the upper arm's outer bushes to the top of the hub. That has a kingpin style bearing in it. If you meant the lower control arm, it has 1 bush, at its inner end. If you have PU in there, that is superior to Nismo rubber. If you meant the caster/tension rod - it has 1x bush at the front end, and again PU is superior to Nismo rubber. But as I said above, I would definitely get the GKTech arms for that, as sphericals slay all other options there.
