Hi!

Just got my 1st Skyline yesterday. Just want to ask some basic questions?

1. How do I make the dash lights brighter? is there a knob somewhere?

2. My horn doesnt seem to work, how do I rewire it?

3. The off button near the A/C doesnt want to work. How can I turn off the fan that is turned on for power 1?

4. Whats the best way to clean the car? Buff it? or what cleaning solution/wash powder?

Thanks Guys!

1. There should be a non-descript knob somewhere, it's usually a dick smith looking thing and it could be anywhere because it's put in for compliance and not factory.

2. Take off your steering wheel and re-connect it. Should be pretty obvious (1 positive wire, touch it (ie. ground it) to the steering wheel and it should go beep. If it's fallen off you should just be able to re-connect. If it won't beep when you're grounding it and it's the right wire then you might wanna test the actual horn.

3. I think that's climate control so to turn it off try hitting manual? Then the fan (if there is one I don't know about r33 sorry).

4. If you look in the tutorial section of this thread there's an excellent how-to for washing and buffing and polishing your baby.

Take care.

If the off button is broken you cant stop the fan, as long as the other buttons work ok you can still use it in auto or manual modes. You will still be able to switch on & off the a/c, fan speed, vent control, heat/cooling and manual/auto modes. Mine broke a couple of months ago annoying at first but aslong as all the rest of it still functions right you can get used to it.

The only way to stop the fan is with the off button. You can turn the air conditioning off and moderate the temperature and fan speed (1, 2, 3 or 4) but there is no 0 speed for the fan.

I'm not sure if the fan resets to off when you turn the car off and my 33's at the shop atm so I can't test it but this might be the only way. If it doesn't reset, then you're going to have to deal with it or get and auto electrician to have a poke. An alternative would be to rig up your own switch to the fan which just cuts it power (tap into the earth wire). You could get a mechanic to do this for you if you don't want to try it yourself.

Glad you like the car, when you get the chance drive it over and we can tinker with it. I have a spare Streering wheel to try on it.

Does the relays in the engine bay click when you push the button?

That sounds even more backwards than the test we have for cars 10 years or newer called the ESVA, right fools down at the testing stations, you know the type, got bullied at school so takes it out on every one else now... Very annoying people!

      This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.

      Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛

      I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .

      Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?
