Hey guys,

On my heater console all the buttons light up with a green background but the two for fresh from out the car and recirculated air have no backlight, as circled in the photo below.

Now im just wanting to know if all r34's are like this. Secondly if not and something has blown how do i change it?

Cheers :P

Hey dude, the two aircon buttons for re-circulating and, and air from outside the car light up green depending on which one you have in effect, the A/C button also lights up green when its switched on, and the two buttons on the far right, the front and rear de-foggers light up orange when in effect

hope that helps

Sounds like a blown bulb. If it is blown.. there's a thread about changing to LEDs.. follow that as the process to remove and replace is the same.

Remove A/C Vents.. with a flat head on one side. Its a clip thing.

Remove a screw behind the ash tray.. remove gear surround.. unplug the ciggi thing (can't remember what you call it :P) ..

you should be able to see 4 silver screws that's holding the whole unit.. Unscrew those..

Move everything forward.. There should be 2 screws on each side to hold the A/C unit to the brackets.. Undo those.. Don't forget to unplug the 2 connectors for the A/C unit.. Take out the unit and you should be able to see 3 white circles thing.. locate the side of the blown bulb.. use a flat head turn it 1/4 (I think) and it'll become loose.. get it out and replace bulb..

Well.. that's on top of my head but it should be along those lines...

Have fun :) .. oh and I don't know which size bulb you need as I replaced with LEDs on mine.

      I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though

      $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.

      Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.

      I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
