Hey guys,

I know there are heaps of people out there that has tried to take out the cigarette lighter from a R34 but just ended up being too frustrated and just broke the thing off lol.

So after spending 15mins playing around with it, I worked out how to take it off properly without breaking it. Here's the tutorial with images.

Also, if you have a blown cigarette lighter LED light, you can change it too :)

but what could you replace the lighter with? :P

It wasn't about just "replacing" it lol.

I had a friend that needed to transfer his lighter from auto surround to manual surround, that's why I posted up the DIY :P

Also, it's good for people that might need to change the light bulb :D

haha I was struggling with this a couple of weeks ago. I was going to cut out a circle and install a gauge there.

In the end I gave up and deciding to lose the stereo as i needed more space for gauges / water meth controller and some other crap.

I'd love to know how to get this thing off, I tried for ages the other night and it wouldn't budge.

I only wanted to remove it for painting purposes, instead I taped it up and painted away.

1. Remove the lighter part (the hand-held piece with the coil)

2. Inside the barrel there should be 2 tiny squares (2mm long) about 5mm in from the top. Each tiny square is opposite the other, with a plastic tab in each. Stab each tab with a small flathead while trying to push the steel barrel out. Do this until the steel barrel sits on top of the tabs.

3. Pry the barrel out from the top (this will probably damage the plastic). Slide the barrel all the way out.

4. Pull the lighter assembly out on an angle - the LED (black square piece behind with separate plug) should act as the pivot point here. It comes out the front.

    • Before you blow your car up, have you checked you've made all the correct modifications to the wiring if you're still using the RB20DE loom?   Some things to look at: The pin used for the map sensor on the RB25DET, is the same pin used on the RB20DE for the Ring Gear Crankshaft Position Sensor, no idea what you've got it plugged into now. The turbo pressure control valve solenoid you're talking about on the RB25DET, the same pin is used for the Variable Air Intake Control Valve on the RB20DE.   The factory manual has the wiring pinouts in it for you to check everything. It also has the diagnostics process to read codes out. In addition, there's a great table that shows what sensors and what actuators not functioning will relate to which signals. And Nissan confirm the as everyone else has from experience, the Solenoid being disconnected won't cause a fuel cut. However, the turbo pressure sensor being missing / wrong, WILL cause a fuel cut. https://www.nicoclub.com/service-manual?fsm=Skyline%2FR34-Workshop-Manual-English.pdf
    • I've been hunting info on the G Series II - this is best I have found so far(Link below). Still waiting on the G35-1150 comp map, kind of very keen   So how do we go about getting precision on that little table of yours ?   https://turbosbytm.com/sites/default/files/product/technical-info/Garrett-G-Series-II-Product_Flyer 25 30 35_1.pdf  
    • yeah I get ~0.6L per session into the catch can. very ethanoly. It ends up overflowing out the breather of the catch can on circuit days too even with a 2.3L capacity catch can and I only drain out ~0.6L max. So every session I have to come in and drain the catch can, which is a hassle. So this is me cracking the shits and doing everything I can without removing the motor (back of head sump drain/breather and oil restrictors off the table). plans short term are: full length splash plates remove oem cam cover baffle add foam and reinstall at -10 or -12 AN fittings to the side of the cam covers down to the sump (luckily I already have fittings in the sump) Yes the ~340,000km unopened motor is probably not helping things
    • I'd use any fuel safe foam....mine went in 15 years and 15 rebuilds ago, still getting reused I'd have to say I don't understand swapping to studs to fit a particular baffle unless you are having a massive blowby issue, and even if you are addressing crankcase not head breathing is probably the next step.
    • BTW, the reason I came in here to "update" this list was that the Garrett G Series II range have been released and I've updated the list with their flow details if you're curious to check how they fit with previous Garretts and other brands The G-Series II G35 990 looks like a banger...
