Went in a car park the other day and noticed my dash centre console and stereo lights brightened and frak me I could actualy read them (no other lights came on) which means theres a sensor somewhere that activates them the question is where ? so- does anyone know where this little beauty is ?

:P

in my stagea the light selector needs on be on the "auto" position which is the first position after off... the sensor is located on the dash in the front right corner its a round dark plastic raised circle... it can be a pain for other drivers if you keep it in auto mode and keep your high beams on, every time you go nder a bridge you'll flash the car infront of you ive been caught out a few times so i just use them like normal...

Ah Ha--thanks mate, i've found what would appear the sensor on the left of the dash as you sit in the car looks like a tiny solar cell about 2/3 the size of a 5c piece I can't however find the on/off function you describe I suspect there may not be one, I'll try covering the cell when I'm driving around and see if that'll do the trick , the main lights and dash/speedo/switchs etc were not activated in the car park I mentioned in my previous post , just the centre console and head unit LCD panels lights. Cheers. :D

    • 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.
