A couple of weeks ago my head lights stopped working, replaced them with the same bulb (H1) as they had for compliance. Worked for a couple of hours then the headlights, dash lights ( the ones for the aircon, radio etc) and tail lights all stopped working. I have checked fuses, and relays (could not locate a head light relay) and can't seem to find the issue. The instrument cluster still works apart from gear selection which also went out.

The H1's seem to be wired into the park lights and there is another set of wires that have been crimped off coming from a box bolted to the side of the head light.

I am at a loss of what to check, any other ideas or have i missed some fuses or relays.

If I leave the head light switch on it still "dings" as I get out of the car.

Two other issues with the car - Air Bag light, attempted every re set i can find on the net and nothing has worked so far,

and turbo gauge ( factory) is intermittent in working. I remember doing a search on google and hitting a link on this site that had the fix. So far can't find it again so any helps in locating that would be great.

Sounds like dodgy compliance with the wiring, I would take it back. (and ask for the hid's to be replaced. hehe.)

Airbag, mine comes up every time I disconnect the battery. simple reset clears it. (I turn the ignition on, wait for the airbag light to come on then switch the ignition off. I do that 5 times and it stays off.)

I put up a repair for the boost sensor a while back if you do a search, easy fix with a soldering iron.

Will try and find that post. Tried the re set and no luck.

run it past tuesday and I'll have a look. I have a scan tool so I can tell you WHY the bag light is on.

PM me the name on the pink plate that is inside the passenger door as well - curious who did this one.

Hi, I haven't posted enough yet to PM - The name on the sticker is Shogun car company I hope that is the right sticker I was looking at.

      R33 general questions

      By Kaptain · Posted

      Hello! Long time lurker, been using the forums to address concerns and questions from afar for a while but I've struggled to find some answers so I guess its about time I made an account and formally asked some more knowledgeable people, since finding local skyline owners is hard (and shops that are knowledgeable or trustworthy to work on 'rare' cars are non existent out where im at, as skylines are quite uncommon to find in the wild around here). So the main 3 questions I have, 1: Steering rack has blown seals, well.. they kind of hold but they are not sealed properly anymore and as my R33 is my DD, i cant exactly rip the rack out and send it off or attempt to fix myself. As most refurb ones are around $1,100 or more shipped, and I have other things I need to work on around the car, I was seeking clarification on whether an S15 rack will more or less bolt right in, and whether a common mechanic could do any other required work to get it to fit. I ask, as I've found a supplier than can sell a manufactured as oem one for around 400, if not I'll likely order a used one from Jacks JDM, and take a risk on the seals there. The second question i have is that im replacing the front wiper cowl and have planned to buy 4 new clips and a new center clip but wasnt sure if there were any other clips that would also need to get replaced while I was at it. Given im sure any that are there now will simply break when I remove the old cowl... Last thing would be a fairly straight forward question, i think. If I manage (strong if, finding one has proven to be a pain) to find a R33 GTR spoiler/wing will it require much modification to bolt to a S2 R33 GTST? I've read the bolt patterns dont match but otherwise would bolt in, only options I have found with much luck is China stuff on ebay and carbonetics, which has a nice $650 shipping fee... so if anyone has any pointers where a US chap could locate one that would be great Random side question as well, the mirrors as I understand are mirror glass, and as im planning to polish my windows from water spots and surface scratches, i was hopeful cerium oxide would be fine for them too, as my research points to, but clarification is always nice. Any pointers would be appreciated, and while I have scoured the internet for answers if I missed a prior post somewhere that may answer these directly please point me towards it, as i must have simply missed it. I have seen a post here or there that has mentioned it, but I usually get 50-50 answers, or half answers... I dont have a lot of fab experience or mechanic experience, outside of hydraulic and pneumatic stuff I did in the military and with how hard it is to source stuff in the US, id rather not wing it and hemmoraghe money lol. Thanks guys! Sorry for the monumental first post haha

      Did tie rods. Steering now not "springing" back.

      Yep, there's a very minor drift left that happens a few seconds after letting go of the steering wheel, but not enough to bother me. Enjoying the car still!
