Hey guys, My Climate Control on the R34 stopped Illuminating itself. Im guessing that the bulb inside has decided to take a break lol.

Any info i can get on changing it ? Because it makes it a hell-a-lot hard to navigate when im driving at night and try to use the Air Con etc etc.

I only just noticed it last night lol! When the hazard button wasnt illuminated.

Cheers in advanced !!

1. pop off your aircon vents (using flat head screwdriver and a cloth)

2. take out ashtray and undo the screw under it

3. pop off your gear surround (using flat head and cloth near handbrake)

4. under four screws (two top, two bottom, to remove the entire center console including climate control panel)

5. take off the four screws (some only have two) holding the climate control panel together.

6. disconnect the two plugs connecting the climate control panel.

7. you'll notice that there are several 'levers' to open climate control panel itself... i use a guitar pick (or three) to open without breaking any levers.

8. you'll find three twist type bulb holders. twist them to remove.

9. insert new bulbs (t10 i think, not sure though). Or make some new led ones up, by pushing the legs through the two little holes in the bulb holder.

10. check to see if they light up. when it's all back together.

reverse process to install again.

Hope that helps.

Np's man. Dash are T5's I think... the climate control are smaller. Although you can modify the T5 led's dan sells to fit the climate control panel by bending out the legs and sticking them in.

To dismantle the dash..

1. remove the bezel around the dash cluster.

2. unscrew the four screws (two top and two bottom i think).

3. drop the steering wheel to it's lowest point.

4. slowly pull towards the cluster towards you.

5. with your hands, reach in from behind and unclip the 3 or 4 looms connecting itself to the cluster.

6. with all looms disconnected from the cluster, try to pull left (in between the steering wheel) to remove.

7. replace all the appropriate bulbs (make sure they work, as led's have polarity).

reverse to reinstall.

sorry to dig up an old thread. I am based out in the UK and have the same problem and would like to replace my blown bulbs but would like to install the original colour back in. Also i have tried to take the blue plastic cap off the blown bulb and have not been able to do this successfully as it seems the blue cap has been caked onto the bulb from continuous use and age. If someone knows the part number for the original part i would rather prefer that. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you

      OEM Soko: Japanese business supplying Automotive items from Japan - Freebie inside!

      By Rezz · Posted

      We have some genuine Japanese legally decommissioned car number plates now in stock 🙂 Add some legitimately obtained JDM style to your Skyline or other Japanese model, or simply as a garage/man cave decoration! About the 40mm hole: The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure & Transport in Japan recognised the popularity of keeping decommissioned plates among car enthusiasts and came up with a method to "destroy" (or render them unusable for street use) while still retaining their collectable/usable value for display etc.  We have 40mm hole covers available to cover the hole nicely with a Sakura motif, which are also available in white in (very!) limited quantities, however they frequently sell out. Please let me know if you're wanting one or more of these and I'll check availability. The Sakura motif covers are more common. https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set-su-7515 https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-400mm-hole-cover *Please note that we can't obtain particular number or area name (eg: "Gunma 500 Fu ・86") if requested. All plates are provided as they become available after decommissioning.

      RB20DET lean on cold start

      Ah, fair enough. For the IAT, I'm using a legit GM sensor that was used on the car prior to my current build. I'll get another wideband and IAT ordered and follow up when they show up. Thanks for the help.

      You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.

      Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?

      Rb20e and RB20DET parts

      By A31Skyline · Posted

      yess of course im not using 2nd hand parts from my spare engine, but the place where i live is hard to find parts for the RB20DET ,but for the RB20E is everywhere including new ones and a lot cheaper ,because for the RB20DET you have to order it overseas to get one and it cost a lot of money 3x the price to be exact. so i ask this topic because if i can use the new ones but for RB20E is it compatible or not. if not im screwed haha, not totally screwed but i have to save a lot of money first before i can begin repairing my engine, thanks for the information before.
