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.

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      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.
