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?

      Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points?

      I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.

      Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?

      So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
