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!!!!

      R32 gtst speedo out by 10kph

      Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.

      Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.

      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 .
