Hey R34 Owners,

I've had my R34 for 8 days now but there's a switch in the car that I have no idea what it does. It's just above my right knee and has 4 settings ( 0, 1 , 2 , 3 ) with a icon of a head light.

I've read thru my manual but it doesnt seem to shed any light on the mystery switch. Any help would be appreciated!

yes it's the headlight angle adjustment.

park your car in front of a wall at night with your lights on and switch the dial 1 through 4 and see what it does

have fun

see thats what I initially thought it was but it doesnt seem to change at all, I've even had a passenger stand outside and look for me. Perhaps it may have been disconnected during compliance???

not understanding what is hard to believe.

if the switch is connected then why wouldnt it work..

i changed mine back to xenon.. set the switch to lowest position to not blind anyone (not like its that harsh anyways) and off i went.. into the sunset

Maybe the fuse is out or blown...

Sure it is something stupid like that :P

my car has switch taken off and xenon replaced with halogen lights.....anyone know why they do this just stuffs up a nice feature the car had from factory.......

To comply with ADRs, which state that any car with xenon (HID) headlamps must have automatic headlight range control (the switch on the R34s in manual adjustment) and headlamp washers, which the R34 doesn't have.

You'll notice on the European cars (and now some domestics too like Holden Caprice) when you order the Xenons as an option, it usually comes as a package with washer jets and automatic height adjustment.

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
