3 Gauge Cluster Lighting

Hey all

I recently took off my 3 gauge cluster while I was working on my Air Con unit in my R34 GTT, and when I put everything back together, none of the lights caome on in the cluster. After a while, the middle one (oil pressure) came alight, then after another while the battery one came on as well. However since then, the light behind the boost gauge has never come online again. Any idea why this might be happening?

Cheers.

Slightly off topic...

My Boost Gauge doesn't work, The reading just sits at the bottom of the dial and never moves! Anyone else experience anything like this?

sounds like there's a leak in the vaccum hose or it may have come off altogether at either end, fairly common problem just look along the hose that connects to the guage.

If there's pressure in the hose but leaking somewhere the needle *should* still move around a bit.

When I had my Gtt there was a leak in the hose near where the hose connects to the firewall

Did the light bulb somehow became loose? Maybe make sure all the bulbs are screwed on?

Checked them, still no luck.

Could also be a broken boost sensor (top-left corner in your bay), you can try and solder it up on the inside electronics. Plenty of topics on SAU for that one.

I have a similar prob with my volts gauge, it's currently really dull. Have fiddled around with it but no luck...

My boost gauge was really temperatmental when I got my car, would work for a little bit after starting the car then stop. I pulled the sender apart and sprayed it with contact spray, worked perfectly since.

      Excuse me, but 2) does apply 1) Would also apply if you consider how much is spent in the alternatives. Also there's the option of 3), buy one pre-built that you can put your family in (it's me, it's my car)   That said, I went on a ~500km drive the other day. I didn't use anything more adventurous than 3rd/4th gear at about ~3000RPM and 50% throttle and I was going as fast as anyone has any sense doing on a public road, with enough grip to the point where I didn't want to go any faster. I was obviously under the limit of the current car etc etc. MX5 with 2.5 N/A to achieve the same speed would be more fun for any road scenario. Maybe consider cams. I wouldn't boost it. The use case is just not there and it won't actually make the car more enjoyable unless you really do plan on wringing gears from 1st to 3rd (at least) at 100% WOT on a public road to 150+kmh.

      Great if: 1. You had all of the money for everything else that is required  2. Lived in a country where you could actually do this and drive it legally on the road Sadly, neither applies to me As for the turbo, I am having second thoughts, mainly for engineering/registration legality reasons and insurance  Not saying I've finished doing stupid things that I probably should do to the MX5, but boost, and V8 engine swaps isn't on the cards Strange, but true

      Yes shipping here can be a pain, was about to purchase timing belt replacement kit, but it tends to get expensive due to shipping (and customs if importing from non-EU which the UK now falls under).
