Hi all,

Ive been a member for about a month now and have finally got myself a r33 4 door auto.

I got it because it has everything i was going to do to it, exhaust white face el dash and wheels.

The only thing wrong is that the el dash wont light up, and i dont have the wiring diagram, so i was woundering if anyone here has one they could scan as a pic for us. Ive had the dash apart to re wire the stereo, and have had a look at the cluster but I cant find the problem.

Any help would be great thanks. :)

P.S This site is f*kn awsome. :dry:

Have you found the little box that dims it down yet maybe under the dash ??

Yes I have found the box, it has 2 grey wires that go to the dash (these wires are spliced so they make 4 pluge for each el light), 1 red and 1 black power wire, then a 5 wire ribbon type which goes under the steering wheel that has 4 buttons on it.

If the key is out of the ignition and i flick the parkers on, the el lights will give a quick flash then nothing, i am currently strugling to read the dash at night with only the normal dash globes, the needles are bright, but the faces are very dull, hope this helps, and thanks for the reply.

Have you tried putting a meter on any of the connections to see if you have power at the plugs, reckon you will have to pull the dash out to check...its the only way....but first check the RED and BLack for good Power and chassis earth

Could be just a bad earth or splice into the power.

Thankyou very much for your reply, it was a bad earth but still only the tacho and the oil pressure would light up, so i pulled the dash out again to check to wires going in to the other gauges and found a broken wire. So now is all fixed and looks great.

Once again thankyou for your help!! :sorcerer:

      To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear

      I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.

      No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.

      I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
