Hi Guys,

Just wondering if you can help me. I had a blown right-hand side headlight globe on my 1993. Now I got a R33 with both headlights which don't work after attempting to change the globes. I changed both new globes and checked all fuses. No fuse seem to be blown and I checked both the inside fuse box and the fuse box on the engine bay.

By the way can any of you guys tell me which fuses are for the headlights both left and right. Everything is in Japanese on my R33. I saw a diagram of a R33 fuse box on this forum but is looks nothing like my one.

Appreciate your assistance.

Try this [see attachment], print it, laminate it, and stick it on the interior fuse box lid, if you didn't get the right globes, or they are not earthed properly that will also do it.

Thanks for your advice and the diagram fellas, much appreciated.

Boss-zilla if you knew how to read which I doubt, you would realise in my original thread that I clearly indicated that I encounted this problem when I changed my globes, WHICH OBVIOUSLY MEANS I PLUGGED IT IN!!.

Like i said i was not having a go at you as i have seen people do this. infact the r32's can have two plugs in series for the head light globs and while changing them people have left one unpluged. There is no need to go off like you have as sometimes it is that easy also that nice little PM you sent has been reported, next time dont join a forum then abuse people.

Also the first rule of thumb when fault finding is to look at anything you have done that may, stress may have contributed to the fault.

If anyone had asked me what to look at if they had this problem i would have said the same.

1.Check the connection (are they pluged in?)

2.Check the fuse's

3.Get a test light and check there is power to the connectors.

So as you can see i was not having a go at you and next time when asking for help IF YOU think that someone is having a go there is NO NEED to write an abusive PM to said person because in future they and others that hear about it may not help.

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
