hey

just bought myself a 32gts. the problem im having is that my highbeams are stuck on when i turn the lights on. i have no low beams. i cant use the indicator stick to turn them off. at the moment i have to use my parkers and fog lights as my low beams. i tried to test the relay in the engine bay fusebox and only 5 of the 6 connectors (dont know the technical term) had power going to them.

any help would be much appreciated

In R32s there is a little relay box ( Thats what I think its called ) somewhere in the steering column area.this is connected to the headlight switch itself. Quite often the contacts start bending from years of use ...I would be looking at this first..Go to an auto electrician, they will fix that problem quite easily

make sure you tell them about the "light control module" in the steering column, or just under the dash, otherwise they spend hours looking...

Happened to me only a month or so ago in my 33

Hi All,

I'm also having headlight problems, 1 on and 1 off etc.. Could someone describe in more depth where this relay box in the steering wheel can be found or even post a picture as I have been hunting for weeks on what could be causing me all the headaches :unsure:

If anyone has a pic it'd be greatly appreciated!

Cheers,

Adrian

is your issue the same as the initial post?

if not, describe it in more detail.

1-on-1-off is usually the switch. Been covered a squillion times.

Yep, I would have initially jumped to this conclusion also but when I imported the car 2-3 years ago I changed out the headlight switch then for a new one from Nissan. Cost me an arm and leg at the time for this pissy little switch ($300+ from memory).

Fixed the problem at the time but has now come back to haunt me.. :P

    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
