Maybe the bulbs in the cluster have shat itself? or the fuses in the actual cluster have blown?

Have fun taking the cluster out. :laugh:

Not to mention illegal.

i dont know about 33's but on a 32 if the dimmer is unplugged then the dash lights wont work.. give that a check

happend to me, all other lights worked cept my speedo.. Locate the dim switch, it may be broken. I've just taped the 2 wires together.

Same here....

It still bemuses me that manufacturers ever bothered to put a dimmer switch in cars anyway.....

Why the f uck would you not want to see what speed your doing?

Anyway, check that, it's the most common problem.

The switch on mine was very tempremental....

Hey champ, had this happen in my s15 once, and thats cause the car runs so low, that the wiring harness to the fuse box got split, as the tyre scrubed out one of the wires which was the lights for the dash.

Have a look under your wheel arch at all the wiring harness that goes to the fuse box, this might be your problem :laugh:

FAIL!

that is 100% NOT correct, theres no such thing.. The wires are direct and do not come from under the car.

Rember that your car is a S15!

i dont have one ether.. hmm

marss, check the usual. cluster plugs at the back, there is 3 there. also the parker fuse in the boot. and of course, the globes them selves, might of had a short and blown them all? duno. but not hard to check for once the cluster is out. its not hard, easy enough to pull out in 15mins or less.

Mine didnt/doesnt have one. :)

I think they changed the law or something. :P

neither does mine... it's been taken out.. there is a high chance that a previous owner had taken it off..

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
