Hey all! Just after some advice on what the likely cause is. (R33)

My reverse lights don't come one when i'm reversing. The globe on the right-side is fine, but I haven't checked the other side. I assume they both run off a general fuse along with indicators and so on?

If they have their own fuse, then i'll have to start checking fuses.

If they share a common ground, i'll remove the carpet and check the other globe.

I guess I really don't want it to be the sensor in the gearbox... that would suck.

============

Other question!

Do the climate control buttons light up when the headlights are on? My window auto up/down lights up OK. The symbols on the buttons look like the translucent white that allows light through, so I recken it should

If it *should*, does anyone know if there are globes behind the buttons, how many and how easy it is to change?

Thanks!

But my fingers are priceless! ;o)

Cool, thanks... there's a switch, but is it IN the gearbox, or on the outside? I can see a couple of wires plugged onto the side of the gearbox.

It's on the outside of the gearbox, it should have 2 wires going to it, you can just disconnect it and using a spaner you'll be able to get it out. Be carefull that oil may spil out, it shouldn't! The lights behind the climate control do turn on with your lights on. Don't know if you can change the bulbs as it's a complete unit, maybe if you really want to have lights there, pull it out and send it to a electrician! or once again for a cheap 5 finger discount you can get yourself another from the wreckers. Might be i little hard to hide though!!!!

      WA PITS: Am I screwed?

      By Degzy · Posted

      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?

      100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!

      ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
