Ok so guys,

Ive got a few problems Ive been trying to fix but your local mechanic isnt really a wealth of knowledge when it comes to a 350GT, We're dealing with an 03' 350GT coupe, but with 06' taillights and headlightls, my questions are as follows,

1. My right reverse light has gone out and I think I need to replace the globe, when I take apart the boot lining the cabling run directly into the body of the car toward my taillight, how do I get to it?

2.My cigarette Lighter doesnt work and hasnt for a while, being a jap import I havent got a clue where the fuse box would be, does the one next to the battery in the engine bay have the fuse for it? because I cudnt find it, or is there another box? and where is it?

With reverse lights, is just one out or both?

May be reverse light switch which is under car, ontop of transmission (pain in the ass to get to)

It may also be a fuse which from memory is either inside the fuse box in engine bay or one of the ones behind battery

TO get to the cabling in the rear

1. Took out boot floor mat

2. Grip the boot plastic seal thing (that your boot closes on) and gently lift from one end and continue to pull off

3. Remove the plugs (2 i think) from the lining (below the boot plastic seal you just took off)

4. Now on each side there are another 2 plugs you need to remove (big ones)

5. now once all plugs are removed you can take out the long liner (just the one covering the back of the lights)

6. you will need to take out light to change bulb (3 10mm nuts) need to be removed and then there is a seal that the wires rung through in the body work, push it in towards the lights (and unplug the connector to the cables)

7. take out headlight

There are 3 fuse box on the 350GT.

1st: just beside the battery

2nd: it's in the same compartment with the battery, but you'll have to take the plastic cover off the battery compartment, and take the plastic cover in front of the winscreen (just 2 pins)

3rd: beside the Acceleration paddle, on the right side. There's a small plastic door which you can take out to access it, if not you have to take the whole plastic out.

The tail lights, you will have to take out all the plastic cover too. Just strip everything in the boot near the light area

    • And if you want more power, more reliably, and cheaper, go get the Aussie RB... The 4L Barra and put that in instead.
    • No cats will keep discolouring the rear bar. Sends white paint a weird yellow stain. Cut and polish normally gets it out, but you'll be doing that every fortnight I found.
    • Both heads will be equally reliable or unreliable depending on what you do to them.  Stock the RB26 head will flow more. You have access to the stock intake ITB manifold on the RB26 cheaply which flows really well(1000hp+).   Arguably more aftermarket support for RB26, though in Aus we love our RB30 SOHC heads too.    The only downsides to the RB26 head is if you have a VL commodore and want to keep the SOHC look.  Where you may have an issue is drilling out the rb30 block for the bigger head studs but if you are building a big power motor you'd probably put bigger studs on the SOHC head too.  This is just about finding a good machine shop, sometimes easier said than done.  RB30 head worked can make big power just like a Rb26 head, so really it actually more comes down to what your preference is for your car.  People now even making billet versions of both.
    • 2630s work perfectly well. There is something to be said for just using the 30 head, as it saves all the pain of the conversion, still makes tons of power, still sounds cool, etc etc. 2630 will obviously make more power again, but the differences are not stupidly big. It really depends on whether you're racing for sheep stations or not. If it's dead serious, then it's a 26 head. If it's just for fun, it could go either way. But the 26 head and the effort to get it set up, etc etc, is part of the fun.
    • I've been building a 26/30 for a few years now. I've had the head built with all the good stuff. I had a 32 gtr but blew it up and yes its all going into a vl but im looking for some advice from some RB nuts on pros and cons on putting a 26 head on a 30 bottom end is it worth it Works are as follows Head -Extensive porting 1mm oversized supertech valves Supertech double springs Supertech valve guides Supertech titanium retainers Tomei solid lifters Tomei 270 x 10.25 cams Head drain Bottom end series 2 rb30 block Cp ceramic coated pistons Eagle rods Romac balancer Oil restrictions  O ringed blah blah spent a fortune And will get a girdle because the 30s arent used to handling that much rpm Nitto billet oil pump Hypertune plenum 6boost mani Refurbed astra pump thats the cover for it in the boot I did have a precision 6262 but sold it because drag car life. Currently building the ass end full 4 link floater rear end with a 2 speed  But the dilemma i have is my mate rekens I should just stick with the 30 head for reliability. Has any one had any issues with mounting the 26 head ie compression blowing gaskets etc. Just looking for some advice from people who have gone down this route. Here's some photos. Blew the oil pump in the gtr and decided to rip the motor out at the time and do a full build only to find it had been a repairable write off so went down this path.
