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!

Oh yeah? That kinda sounds like there is one little bulb in there that lights them all up.... considering ALL of mine don't illuminate, and yours all died together.

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!!!!

      The clutch pedal has a procedure for adjustment. This can only be done after you are 100% sure the system is absolutely free of air bubbles. You must bleed the clutch master cylinder first, then the "separation pipe" which is the clutch damper line, then the operating cylinder as detailed in the service manual. Also, you must fully depress the clutch pedal between shifts. Just because you can't feel it grabbing does not mean the input shaft is truly decoupled from the crank. At high RPM clutch plates are vibrating and moving around, you need to give it the best possible chance of success. On the BCNR33 Nissan revises these adjustment procedures slightly but not by much: I would be careful with trying to play games with these adjustments. As for the Nismo operating cylinder they say a lot of things. In practice the twin plate clutch needs less movement on the clutch fork to disengage because the whole stackup of the flywheel + friction plates + pressure plate is much taller. Personally if you find that the clutch still disengages too high at the top of the travel I would try the Nismo operating cylinder. Make sure to follow the air bleed procedures.

      Thank you for the links. I’m going to go with the 6pin plug you used. next step is rust treating re painting dash support bar and steering column then the 6pin cradle plug when it arrives in the mail.

      I don't how much the car makes a difference or whether it is just a question of gearbox and clutch. On mine it's fine. Pull type Nismo coppermix twin (standard, not competition) on the 5 speed in my Stagea. OEM slave cylinder. Bite point is a few cm off the very bottom of the pedal. Clutch pedal all the way down to put in gear, and when heading off at the lights, there's a tiny bit of nothing and then it starts biting. And fully engaged before the pedal is all the way released. There's a bit of play at the top where the pedal does nothing anymore. Are you in Australia @ck_chino? If you are set on using a Nismo slave cylinder I have one new-in-box at home. Ordered it together with the clutch but didn't get it fitted. We can work something out if you want it

      I am using a pull nismo coppermix twin in an r34 getrag box, had both the standard slave and  then the nismo one. Adjusted pedal to get bite point how I wanted , it is on the higher side, but would fully disengage past half way down.  I also read that the nismo slave won't work but I had no issues with the stroke, might become one later as clutch wears but 2+ years of happy motoring so far.  Take the above as one input only, specially as my setup is a bit unique in that I am using an S15 clutch master , cefiro clutch pedal, custom braided clutch line. Lots of variables at play.
