hey guys, been searching for answers on net but havnt found any. so decided to join this forum. anyway, i just got a r33 gts-t sII and its auto. just drove it home and realise that the main headlights turns off when i full stop at the traffic lights and turns back on when i accelerate again. the side lights in front still stays on but the main ones keep doing this. the risk is nothing as it turns back on but this will attract cops at night time.. so can anyone explain?

thanks, xtc.

its when i come to a complete stop. the side lights still stays on but just the main ones. its actually pretty cool as once i let go brakes and car starts rolling forward it turns back on. any ideas? modded? or wiring problem? also ive noticed that my exhaust is making wierd noises. like it sounds normal then seems like it once to stall once every 5 seconds, ive checked the idling but it doesnt move up and down that much. any probs here? keeep in mind its auto trans again.

What happens with the lights if you shift to neutral? I'd suggest the alternator is dying, and isn't able to supply sufficient voltage at idle (with tranny loading engine) to keep the lights going.

Otherwise, you have a really serious wiring problem.

ive just checked what happens if i put it ino neutral still happens. apparently i then fiddled with a few more buttons on the automatic when i suddenly noticed it was one of the *reduced lights on and off* that did this. so guess everything is fine with the car. just had a mate check and serviced it, needed new oil, coolant flush and new spark plugs.

anyway while im at it anyone knows what intercooler i should get to replace original one?

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • 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
