Hey all, 

there are a few interior bits for the r34 skyline that I need advice on:

- Cigarette lighter socket. What size does it use? Also in the pic I posted, I’m assuming the bulb goes in there?(smaller black bit of cig socket)

-ashtray. I heard the ashtray is supposed to have a light in there, and it makes senses because on the side of it there is a little glass window. But I don’t see any light sockets and wires running to the ashtray. 
 

- Glovebox. What size does it use? And is the socket located above the glovebox when you open it, that little white square with two tabs on it?

- Ignition Barrel light. What size bulb does it use? 
 

- The buttons underneath the steering wheel, such as headlight angel adjustment and fog lights etc... Are they meant to light up? If so, what size bulb do they use?

 - Drivers window switch panel. Only the driver side window switch lights up, the rest of the buttons don’t. Are they all meant to light up? Also what size bulb?

-Passenger side window switch. Is it meant to light up? If so, what size bulb?

- regarding the climate control. When you have ignition ON, are the lights meant light up on the climate control? Because right now they only light up when I turn my headlights on with the stalk. I’m just wondering if the climate control is getting dimmed when I turn my headlights on.

Thank you

The ashtray body is probably common across a bunch of Nissans of the era and so all have the window even if only Maximas etc might have gotten a light to shine through it. Also, who cares about an ashtray light anyway?

Your assumption about the light location for the cig socket is correct.

my GTR has no ignition barrel light. The ring is opaque plastic

That’s strange, since my GTT does have a light, I just want to change it to a brighter white light. Also I’m pretty sure your ignition barrel on the gtr is meant to have a light, because at night it’ll make it much easier to feed the key into the barrel

Well at night it would be easier to ash into the ashtray. I actually use my ashtray for cigarettes so it’ll make it easier to ash into it rather than Accidentally getting the ash around it

You can buy an LED converted ignition barrel ring I picked up from a wrecker on gumtree if you like.  I'll charge you only what I paid for it. It has a blue LED in there, it was modded by someone from the old incandescent fitment.

For whatever reason this convenience feature was not on r34 GTRs.

is it at least ‘glow in the dark’ kinda thing so it ‘lights up’ at night?

Can’t you just put a led bulb into the socket? Pretty sure you can since you can do it with all the other sockets. I’ll look into it, if I can’t I’ll grab it off yah mate. Is it plug and play or requires some modding?cheers👍

    • There's a fair chance that my bushes are Nismo, because I'm reasonably sure that when asked the question (when putting the subframe into the car in ~2012) "What bushes do you want to run?", I'm pretty sure I would have answered "The stiff ones!". I had to put some silicone grease onto the GKTech inserts I jammed into them last week, because the bushes were quite resistant to having something jammed up their jacksies. So, I reckon you'll be best off doing Nismo + inserts. And, if I'd known you had PU bushes in the subframe AND PU pineapples, I perhaps would have said earlier that that's probably not a good idea. The pineapples are only intended to work with the stock type bushes, because those have a crush tube (which is what makes it end up looking like there is sloppy space in there - but doesn't, because the crush tube does make contact steel to steel) and the pineapples live in the space between the subframe's outer tube and the lower washer/bracket. But the PU bushes don't leave the space in the same way that the stock format ones do, and they do end up fighting for space. Order some bushes and collars and get to it.
    • Thats the current state of the reo. Bit ew, but GTR Reo and supporting bars are $2000, and 2nd hand GTT ones are $1000... More engine disassembly. The good news is   Various LS weird sounds are apparently normal Everything coming out is in perfect condition The bad news is: Everything coming out is in perfect condition It looks like whoever assembled this engine ~25,000km ago was telling the truth with what's in it and how they did it. Even things I was unsure of like the timing chain - But it's a brand new double row timing chain, spaced perfectly. They even cut up the stock windage tray to keep it instead of being lazy and to work with the baffle. Cam, Heads, springs, LS7 lifters, Pushrods - All look new and have obviously been working perfectly. In other news, we removed the pineapples that were loaded below the superpro subframe bushes. They look a fair bit munted and have deformed the poly bushes that are 'above' them. I'm telling myself that now that there's space 'under' the bush between the little cup that bolts in... that having a pineapple wedged there was bad and basically made the rear end solid. The pineapple and the superpro bush are ... equally deformed (i.e they have deformed one another from being smashed together). We'll see how it goes with bushes only. I am sure this cope will fail and the answer will be to drop the subframe and put nismo rubber bushes in there instead. $400 worth of gaskets and ARP head bolts to replace perfectly new looking gaskets that absolutely weren't leaking  and were installed perfectly with great care - because god damnit.    
    • Why bother? Keep them under 1bar and be happy, I had it for 10 years and never had an issue. once you go beyond that the budget blows out fast and then keeps on blowing out 
    • I'd still recommend rebuilding the turbos too. That will eat up a lot of the budget especially if you aren't willing to put in the labor to R&R the turbos yourself but it's a huge risk to ignore it at this point.
    • Can't help it, its an illness.
