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!

    • So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.
    • Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
    • your right the maps for Australia came out in 2017 but are 2010 maps. i got the updated maps SD card put it in and it was the same. Same maps in my Brothers Nissan Patrol. 2020 i think his car is
