RH head light not working, parkers and hi beam are ok. Replaced the bulb and no probs, checked the fuse in the engine bay and alls ok.

Had the timing belt replaced just before it went, could that have cause it somehow in the dismantling and reasembling?

if its a r32 ..it will be the dash switch

the switch where you turn them on. they have a habit of doing this. they only turn 1 light on at a time. left then right. get a new switch and all should be fine, unless the new switch is dead too.

I have the same problem as mentioned here with my 94 BNR32 - the drivers side light isn´t working. When I bought the car it worked sometimes, later on it wouldn´t work at all.

High beam etc. are OK.

What´s weird about it, if you check with a multimeter WITHOUT a bulb connected, you get +12V. As soon as you connect the bulb, voltage drops to 0V...

So could this be the switch as well, or something else?

We removed all the wiring stuff and tried to find out where the cables are going etc., but since the color markings are different throughout the car it´s almost impossible to find out where to search for a broken cable etc.

Any ideas`?

i had to help solve a problem like this in a 180sx on saturday. we tried pulling the switch out and it was working ok. we were getting power to the bulb but it would work. then we made a new earth for it and it worked. the standard earth was crappy and wasn't letting enough power out to let the light turn on.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
