I've noticed that one side of my heater unit does not light up anymore, upon removing the unit and having a look I found that it used unusual looking globes, almost like tiny UFOs! and it had like a rubbery blue cover over the globe.

Anyone know where to get these from? or maybe someone has a spare unit that all or some globes are working?

Cheers!

go to jaycar or altronics in northbridge, take a globe in with you and someone there to find you something similar

LEDs should cost you anywhere between $0.20 to $6.00 or you can buy a pack of 100 for $14.00

Haha $21 that’s ridiculous

Mikeys self pimpage never ends :D

What you can do is break the glass in the bulb and solder a resistor and LED in there. White ones only cost a few dollars and are a lot brighter than any incandescent light. The resistor should be about 330 ohms for most LEDs, if you got the specs of the LED I can calculate it for you.

There are different kinds of led's, and i don't know how the inside of the thingy looks, but i needa take it out in 3 mths time to replace the bulb as mine has blown too. Buy wide angle leds thou. Or you can buy the leds that change colour on their own. Nice touch to have a clown lookin AC unit :)

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
