hey guys,

picked up my new cefiro last night, nothing special, rb20e haha but i love her none the less, however i have a question... automatic headlights. they were working fine last night, but tonight i turn them on and all i get are high beams.. no dash lights, just high beams. i did have a fidle around earlier with things but the only things i really touch relivent to the lights were the sensor covers ontop of the dash, the previouse owner had painted them black for some reason.. anyway any help would be appreciated :P

cheers

mark.

hey guys,

haha yeah, blown fuse.. i feel like a dumbass.. it didn't feel like a fuse blowing though as i was fidling around with the sensors and nothing.. anyway got board with Silver_R34_GTT last night and after driving to his house with the foglights on the whole way we decided to have a play around, pulled out every fuse and found about 3 that were blown (i've only had the car 3 days so i'm still tidying things up) and yeah, no idea what they were as the diagram is all in japanese but the headlights now work :yes: weird that the high beams came on though. ah well..

cheers guys,

Does it have just the high beams and no dash lights with the normal lights too? This happened to me when the fuse blew. Turn the lights on and only get high beams.

Check it out, may be a simple fix.

    • 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.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • 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.
