My dashlights on my r33 s2 keep flickering on and off, but for the most past, they remain off.

ive took the whole dash off, replaced the 5 blue globes.

Its really strange, it seems like it works sometimes and others it doesnt.

I just would like some help because its a problem which ive had for a while, and ive decided to put my foot down and try my best to fix it.

Any help mwould be much appreciated..

Thanks SAU

I booked my car into an auto electrician. and 30 mins later and $20 bucks spents. I found out the problem is my aftermarket dash face. Its a blue luminous one and something is wrong in the circuit they told me. So does anyone know what i should do? Where do i buy a new one, and whats the average price. Thankyou

hey Keaton, which auto electrician did you use? Im looking for one as my parklight fuse keeps blowing glare.gifsigh

any help or recommendation would be very much appreciated mate

Hey mate, I wentt to Hooleys Auto in Joondalup, winton ave. But i think they also come under the name Autospark. Their hourly rate is 100 dollars an hour, but i think thats a pretty standard rate.

To any one else, i fixed my problem but cutting out the aftermarket dash gauges, and now ive got the stock one, which was behind it, and its a lot better :)

Hope i helped out :D

Problem fixed.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      The old manifold was quite under the GTR strut brace.  The new manifold is quite [unknown] the GTR strut brace. The GTR strut brace was needed to clear the bonnet vents. The Old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, but not the bonnet vents. The old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, and the new bonnet without vents. But I am hoping the GTR strut brace clears the new manifold :p

      Bonnet clearance?

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      On the bright side, at least you knew that it happened and remedied before anything happened. A friend of mine just took his Fiat 124 to a shop for an oil change and they didn't tighten the oil filter housing properly. 4.5 quarts spewed out and even after refilling + tightening the cap the engine has a tick now.

      So, more pain. The FAST manifold is a little larger than the stocker. This is problematic because there really wasn't much clearance to begin with, so going from 'barely enough' well into 'no' is sad based on the external dimensions of the thing, even though where it bolts to the head is the same. Result is the fuel rails sit a good 25mm higher, and this is a bit of an issue with the wiring that runs behind the motor, and the fuel lines, and everything else. When pushing the manifold on, it required a huge amount of force to crush wiring looms to fit it, sensors like the MAP sensor are about 1mm from the firewall, and the FPR just has to bend ABS lines to be forced into place. After some brainstorming and some sad drinking, the loom for some reason ran from the grommet behind the ABS sensor, then to the driver side head, then back to the passenger side head. So all of this was pulled back and stripped, a few wires cut and rejoined, so that the 'branch' was now on the passenger side's head as below: Before you basically couldn't see anything behind the driver head. This is much improved! The MAP sensor is now pointing up (instead of at the firewall) Brackets have been made up for the rail. The rails are for a LS1, the manifold is designed around a LS2 as it's base. Which of course has slightly different bracketry and water pump clearance, hence the mods people need to do. Should be hopefully mounted tonight. I spent money on a new FPR that is slightly more compact than my Turbosmart FPR1200. The gauge has also been moved to the rail. There's also apparently an ORB to AN Union instead of the adapter, because the ~25mm of the current adapter is going to make the difference. Provided this all goes together and arrives today, it'll be the totally not stressful attempt to start it.

      Finding E-30 & E-85 in Sydney

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      This seems like a pointless exercise. There is no E30 availability. Ongoing availability of E85 should not be assumed. Flex-fuel is the only sensible approach, so you can use E85 when and where you can get it, 98 when that's al you can get, and anything in between as you fill it up and drain it down. And if that means replacing the pumps, fitting a flex capable sensor/ECU/whatever has to be done to these Renault shitboxen, then.....so be it?
