Interior Fuse Box Problem

Been meaning to post this up for a few weeks now.

Checked my interior fuse box (the one under the dash) just to compare it to what it says in the manual (a JPNZ ENTERPRISES reconstruction of the original japanese version) and noticed a few irregularities.

The diagram (black background with all the John Madden playmaking arrows ;)) shows where my fuses are located.

Yellow background attachment is a photo I took of a page in the manual (pages are actually white but auto-balance made it go all Indiana Jones-like).

So yeh, basically I think I'm missing one of the 20A Blower Motor fuses, I seem to have 2 fuses for nothing and a 20A fuse for the airbag (which my car doesn't have) which should be a 10A fuse anyway??

What's going on? Is my manual wrong?

Also, how do I go about buying replacement fuses? I had a look last time I was at supercheap but noticed there were different types (some additional rating -not Amperage- which differed) of the same Amperage fuses and didn't know what ones to buy.

thanks!

its all correct, trust me, andthe blower has 2 20A stated because there is 2 blower spots, follow that diagram exactly, yours is stuffed around, go by the diagram you have its right on ..the only thing is that on mine i have a 3 amp on the left hand side on the verticatly at the top for my dash lights.

Thanks Mick,

The vertical fuse spaces on the left, I thought they were just for holding spares? You said you have a 3A fuse there for your dash lights though?

So I need to remove the fuses in the sixth row down, both left and right side, because they should be empty yeh?

And I could remove the 20A from the airbag fuse spot because my car doesn't have airbags, and put it in the first blower motor spot that has nothing?

is there any reason why you'd have a fuse for the airbag spot when there is no airbag?? lol Dont know what the previous owner did!!

is there anytime you would use the empty fuses spots (sixth row), like for aftermarket accessories or something they may have had?

Thanks again.

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I've always approached this as, price is comparable between low temp and high temp fluid. Just put in the high temp fluid. I've not going to lose any sleep thinking about could I have saved $20 on brake fluid that is going to live in the car over the next 2 to 3 years.

      Nah, the creases were pretty large, and the sheet metal is pretty thin and hard to work out, time alone is in the hours to fix, and would probably have more bog than I would be happy with In other, more happy news, I gave MX5 Mania a call and they have a few clean boots available for $400 a peice, I've contacted Fineline and given them their contact details, I'm a idiot for not thinking of them sooner

      High temp brake fluid?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      That really depends on how hot the brakes get and how much of any heat is transferred into the fluid. That really makes it at least a vehicle specific question, and more than like a specific vehicle specific question, depending on what brakes (ie stock, bigger rotors, different calipers) or even what pads are on it. And then there's the question of cooling air. Is there plenty stock? Is there no special cooling arrangements stock? Has some/more been added? In other words, I think you have to do the experiment to obtain the data. And if you;re worried - tie on some ducting?

      High temp brake fluid?

      By PranK · Posted

      In all the track days I've done over the past few months I've only had 1 issue with braking and thats with my current EBC pads (can't remember the colour, but they're not a track pad). I don't *think* I have had issues with brake fluid getting too hot, my understanding is that when that happens you will have quite noticeable brake loss - which I haven't had.  I'm using just regular ol' Penrite Super DOT4 fluid. I use this fluid in everything and my cars always seem to stop so I see no reason to change, except ... for the 335i. I need to do a fluid flush and was thinking about my fluid of choice and wondering if I should consider using something more high temp? Its not a super fast car by any standards but I'd hate to do a flush and then find myself with no brakes when I get. to Wakefield.  I guess, my question can be summed up as "How fast do you need to be driving to need higher temp brake fluid?"  I remember high temp fluid was considered a must have back in the day when I had my GTR.

      RB25DET in GTS4 R32 conversion

      By Jason Abell · Posted

      For anyone that comes here looking for answers on what can go wrong with gts-4 to rb25detneo swap. The Gloria's awd sump is different and does not fit. The rb25neo from stagea are exactly the same sump bolt pattern and axel alignment. Castings numbers are different on Gloria's blocks and oilpans if they need to be identified.
