thanks,

ive tryed pressing nearly everything , seems to not respond to anything i do,

was thinking maybe a fuse somewere???

checks the fuse box and they all seem fine, (unless the fuse was removed)

or fuse maybe under the bonnet???

Umm, just to clarify, you turn it on then flip the top switch downwards towards "set" and nothing happens? Is there a beep or any orange cruise lights? Does anything come up on the rhs lcd on the dash- it should show the distance bars at least.

yes thats wat i tought happens as i had a look in the owners manual,

when i press on, it beeps once, the orange ,and (green?) cruise light comes on ( the light boxed in the pic above)

ill then press toward set and nothing happens,

i was under the impression that the rhs lcd comes up with the speed and that, but it just still says (D) drive

Orange light means a fault. Does the distance sensor symbol in the rhs lcd screen on the dash flash? Mine did that and it ended up being dirty panels in the grille and front of the radar sensor (behind the nissan nadge at the front).

Otherwise it'll need to be put on the consult and then once you've been told it's unfixable, fit aftermarket....

BTW, if there's no other symbols in the lcd then maybe the radar sensor is kaput (or missing). It sits at the front of the car behind the grille. Nissan want about $1800 for a new one...you may be able to get a better price if you know them but don't expect much change out of $12-1500. Best to find another stagie with cruise and swap the sensor and see if it fixes it.

Then have a chat to Chris Rogers- he may have spares which are more affordable (or fit aftermarket cruise which although not radar, uses the factory buttons, does more than 110km/h and he also can put stereo buttons on the steering wheel as well)

If your tyring it over 110 it wont work. That is the limit. I have this option on my car if you want to swap a part over and try your welcome. It sounds like its trying to work. Unless the radar is dirty behind the lens and in front it might be seeing an object and shuting it down also.

The cruise control even thou its a smart thing its a pain. It always sees cars on corners coming towards you and slows your car down. And on the high way it will only let you do 109kmh

well basically my importer said mine is working the problem is that I cannot engage if I am doing less than 60 or more than 110 which 110 sucks

I am going to try it again tonight see if that works I will be back in his place tomorrow to double checkl

      Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 路 Posted

      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馃様 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.
