Hey guys,

Excuse me for being a noob-ass idiot but yeah i need some help.

I recently bought an 1994 R33 and just found out that my cigarette lighter does not power any sort of charger that I put in.

It looks kinda flimsy at the moment and its obviously not working so...

Does anyone know how to re-wire a cigarette lighter thingy?

or

Am I screwed for buying a phone charger?

Thanks a lot,

=Dhiv=

is it the fuse?

My lighter's stuffed as well and won't light the lighter let alone charge anything and the fuse is gone I've been told it's pretty cheap to fix, ring around some auto sparkies in your area see who can fix it for you, may only have to pay for the fuse

cigarette lighter has its own fuse, located to the right under steering wheel in the fuse box thing.. 4th from the bottom on the right hand side - 15A fuse. You can buy them at most servos for like $2, i've bought some from Shell before.

Dude, if he can't figure out if it's the lighter or the charger then I highly suggest going to an auto sparky before playing with wires himself... :)

lol my cig lighter wasnt working but i blew the lil bit of dust/dirt etc off the fuse area, then made sure the fuses were securely in which they were, went back in the car and bang its working. always a logical reason why things stuff up.. just try the easy ones first cos u never kno! then see a sparky. Mind u if u see someone genuine and the problem is simple they shouldnt charge u much at all! and if u do find a genuine person maybe by a lotto ticket on ur way home lol :)

      Pillar gauges

      See, that button sounds like perfection Duncan! My eyes really don't like light shining at them from a dash when I'm driving. Being part red colourblind, I've found for most cars that I can change colours on, I set everything to red, so my eyes see the elast amount of colour! I miss normal gauges in cars

      bro, knowing the Japanese in  the 90's, i wouldn't be surprised if they shared components across their model lineup.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Maaaan so many "little" things  i rly hope my old RB20 would be "ok" and not too bad. I try to learn what and what not do i need. I look at crossmember at it looks different...even parts numbers are different. Wiring and all that i rly do not know...yeah someone mentioned the speedo thing. On that yoke clip. I rly do not know what can and cant be done "custom" so that is why iam asking to know and not be suprised 🙂  I know what it looks like

      Oh, there's also the gearbox crossmember which will probably be different between the small box and the big box, and the wiring loom will probably need to be modified, because the plugs for the switches etc, will probably be different. And I think the speedo on the small box R34s is from somwhere stupid, like the diff, possibly, so you'd need to work out what needs to be done about that (assuming it is different). I think the thing you need to realise is that the front end of that yoke is a large hollow tube with splines on the inside that mates with the splines on the box's output shaft. It is a dedicated thing - not available "aftermarket". They were made to suit that box, by the car's OEM.
