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:

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.

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

      How do you go about diagnosing ecu's that don't have data logging, is it more experience at that point and just trying out things that you think will fix the issue?

      Stock O2 are basically useless beyond anything at stoich. Any misfire will also be seen as lean. The stock O2 also read a collective exhaust gas volume, not each cylinder. Sputtering and missing means not each cycle is firing, and some are. Which means even if rich, as shit, on cylinders as they miss, they'll read lean, but the cylinders that did fire will read rich, and combined, well, they can read anything from rich to lean.   Start with the basics before even going looking at sensor values.   Edit: I say the above, and that's coming from the guy with a few thousand dollars worth of scan tools sitting right beside me right now that I use frequently for my job.

      I just finished up a manual swap and I have a 1999 S2 AWD automatic in my garage, depending on where you are located. I'm in the the midwest of the US.

      R33 GTR N1 REO on an r32 ?

      I’ve heard it can be done, you need to redrill the holes where they bolt to the chassis and apart from that they are the same. I’ve never done it or know anyone personally that has, it’s just something I’ve heard

      If it's reading full rich prior to a misfire that gives one directional hint, if it's already reading lean, etc. If it's reading pretty cleanly stoichiometric then suddenly drops out from a misfire that suggests it's not air mass estimation that's the problem. Could be ignition, could be something more subtle. Could be the CAS has decided to start dropping out at random or the drive pin is worn leading to excessive lash and trigger errors. LTFT can tell you the same but it's slower to react and if this is a recent issue it might not have stabilized. STFT stuck in one direction vs fluctuating back and forth can be used instead but I like to read O2 voltages anyways and interpret directly. If the O2 voltages make no sense in general or are super slow to react it could also be a failing O2 sensor. There's no real error correction for failing O2 sensors in these cars.
