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.

    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
