Hey guys,

This blue (10) fuse keep blowing on my r32 gtst (Fuse box under the bonnet). I have replaced it twice and has blown twice. Once this fuse is blown i cant use the left low or high beam. The right side still works, obviously.

Has anyone had this issue before? if so how did u fix it? What would you guys suggest I check to get to the bottom of this issue?

I have seen some threads of the headlight switch being faulty.

i have pulled it apart. What am i looking at which could be faulty?

Nothing looks melted but i have noticed that the middle POT's spring is stiifer than the other two. Also i have noticed two of the connections for the headlight white plug are brown (overheat)?

The headlight switch is one problem, blowing fuses is another.

1. Mine was blowing/melting fuses because someone had installed a 100W bulb instead of the 55W standard H1 bulb. Check your headlight bulbs first to identify if some nob installed a higher wattage (100W) bulb thinking it was brighter. The brown/burnt marks on the white connector is most likely being caused by the 100W bulb. Change to 55W bulbs (you can get 'brighter' 55W bulbs from any auto parts store)

2. Your white plug with the 3 black 'pots' should all be of equal length, it appears as though both the outside black pots are of shorter length (more rounded). You can attempt to elongate the spring underneath the black pots to match the middle pot height.

Hey mate i haven't got a camera on me at the moment but i'll try and get some pics posted up soon of my setup. That way i'll be able to explain everything alot clearer. I was in the same boat. Everything was working fine then it just happened. I blew a couple of fuses before i decided to run one headlight off of the other now everything works fine. To create a reley you need to splice the wires going to the working headlight and then run the wire across to the other headlight. But like i said i'll try and get some pics up soon. Goodluck.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
