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.

      r34's love to squeal

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
