Tapping Into R34 Light Circuit?

Hey guys,

Just been installing some LEDs in my R34s interior. Have replaced the cluster and AC unit successfully, I now want to install some more customized lighting such as:

  • Gear stick surround
  • Bottom of the door and/or door light
  • AC air vents
  • Cigarette lighter
  • Key ignition
  • Electric window switch

The gear stick surround would need to come on with the rest of the lights, and the door lights would need to come on only when the door is open, so does anyone know how to tap into the light circuit to connect these to? The air vents would have a switch somewhere.

Also, can someone please tell me how to change the bulbs for the cig lighter, key ignition and electric windows?

One annoying thing I have found though, the cluster LEDs are a different kind of Blue to the AC unit..... The perfectionist in me is annoyed.

Thanks for any help guys!

Gear Stick - connect to the stereo wire that makes it dim when the headlights come on

Cig Lighter - kind of twists and pops out, you need a low profile T5

Ignition - Soldered bulb

Electric Window - Soldered bulb

TCS button - soldered bulb, and mechanism is a pain and literally explodes when pulling open (springs and bearings everywhere)

Doors - would need to be wired back to the harness where the feed for the dome light goes back to.

The dash has blue film lining the back of it, the A/C section doesn't causes a variation in colour

Jaycar or Dicksmith, you'll need a load resistor to suit the Ign and TCS....window is fine

Series 2 has Orange Film

This

You can get a tap into the circuit for doors inside the door jamb pin switch or dome light

That will turn on all leds when open no relay needed , diode yes to stop backfeed or into alarm module

Gtt dont have existing wires for door light

Run wires ! I built a mold to recast in clear ( instead of red )exact replacement door lights ( only gtr has door lights from what I found )

my car has stupid amounts of lighting so pm me if needed

      Structured text and other high level PLC programing languages are not allowable in Functional Safety. They are very difficult to audit. My PLC stuff is almost exclusively oriented towards Burner Management Systems which are a particularly pernicious form of Safety Instrumented System, when implemented in an SPLC. Even the part of the code written to work in the non-safety logic part of the PLC, like with a Siemens S7-1500 series, still needs to be treated as if it was safety code, with access restrictions, code fingreprints and the like. And Allen Bradley can go EABODs. They ae full of shit. They have this whole lie going on where they say if you use a ControlLogix controller and its IO, and then just duplicate the IOs (ie, run in series or parallel depending on type, to try to make it "fail safe") and "use these programming styles and place these restrictions on what you do" that you can achieve SIL2. What a load of crap. They just get away with it because no-one in the US seems to understand the first thing about Functional Safety and carries on as if all they have to do is buy only SIL2 rated equipment and hey presto, it's a SIL2 system. Idiots. /rant

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      By MBS206 · Posted

      If you're really considering leaving it, a great question to ask is, is the magnet going to stick to the sump? The answer to the above is the same answer towards if I'd have any level of comfort leaving it... Personally, based on the cost of a motor if the magnet were to cause damage, I'd be fishing it out either way. Use the methods in here. It fit in through the plug hole, it'll come out.   PS, get a small actuatable claw for a bore scope. OR if you know a vet, they have really cool controllable scopes with hooks on the end. Supposedly they're like playing a video game. Ask if they can acquire you one of their scopes... Engine oil after all is just a different type of lube right? Will only make it easier on the next dog or cat...

      All other (Boolean) logic functions though, are just built on those blocks above. Which does give you a lot of functionality in logic. It is basing that on using thresholds with analogue signals like GTS alluded to.   Not having things like timers will make it less useful for some of the ramp up logic you'd want, and again, on Haltecs capacity specifically, I'm not across anymore what you can / can't do with different tables.   I'm assuming, with your logic you want to implement, not only do you want your timing safeties, you're wanting to be able to derive the duty cycle for your solenoid, to maintain I'm assuming 175PSi? Or are you using a standalone WMI controller to maintain the DC correct, and you just want the Haltech working out which fuelling maps you should be on?

      Low oil pressure after WOT

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It doesn't seem to follow revs. Oddly it seems to follow TPS a little bit from what I can see, but with some delay a bit. IE end of the graph, when he lets off throttle fully, pressure drops a lot, then slowly builds back up, but rpm is on a nice cruisey drop off. I do agree though, it seems very electrically.
