I tried searching but I could not get any answers.

I have an Automatic R34 GT-T and some of the lights in the interior have gone out. When I turn on the headlights most of the stuff lights up apart from a few lights in the dash (e.g A/C button, fan up and down buttons etc.) aswell as the lights next to the shifter ('D', 'R', '+', '-' etc.) Is this simply a case of something as simple as a blown fuse or are there some lights that need replacing?

I'm pretty crap at this DIY stuff, any ideas on whether I can fix this myself or should I see an Auto Electrician (where I will probably get raped $$$ wise for something that I'm sure is very simple).

Thanks for any help.

It'll be a bit of a pain, because you'll need to take out the dash and the centre console to get to the bulbs. I have two lights on my A/C controls (the direct/recirculation buttons don't light up anymore) and I think some of the bulbs may have gone pop, so I gotta take mine out again and go to an auto electronics shop to get some like them, or even find some the same that are blue instead, as I'd love to have all blue lights in my dash and centre console.

Best thing you can do is provide pictures of your console setup and we could help you out some more mate :)

Cheers for the reply. Yeah I'll post up some pics (what I should have done in the first place). Unfortunately I'd rather buy more performance orientated stuff or exterior cosmetic things rather then paying an Auto Electrician to put in a few globes. Ah well, thems the breaks I suppose!

    • Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!
    • Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.
    • Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃
    • You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position. 
    • You talking about the ones in the photo above? I guess that could make sense. Fixed (but flexible) line from the point up above down to the hubcap thingo, with a rotating air seal thingo. Then fixed (but also still likely flexible) line from the "other side" of the transfer in the hub cap thingo up to the valve stem on the rim. A horrible cludge, but something that could be done. I'd bet on the Unimog version being fed through from the back, as part of the axle assembly, without the need for the vulnerable lines out to the sides. It's amazing what you can do when you have an idea that is not quite impossible. Nearly impossible, but not quite.
