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

    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
