Yeah man been through a heap on my 33, it's even got to the point of them cutting out when i hit bumps, but cant find any issues with the wires or connections!!! i'm stumped, last time i drove it i had to use high beam the whole night cause low beam didn't work at all on either side!!!

oly thing i can think of is the clips that hold the globe in may not be connecting 100% of the time and shorting out the globes!!

just a guess though!

u gotta make sure u install them really really carefully i mean .. really really really carefully .. i used to connect them to the wire before i installed them and it was a pain to get in without touching the globes to the sides which risks putting dirt and oil onto it ... i went through 2 sets like this ... best way to install is remove the old ones ... don't connect yet .. install the new ones really carefully and put it in place ... put the clip on ... and then connect the wire to it after its been secured ... my last set has yet to die installing it like this ... so i guess i think that u guys aren't installing them good and getting them dirty .. :)

hippy, i installed all of my sets like this! i know what your saying though, seems a common issue!! with mine i can get them to work again by tapping on the front of the lights!! so its not caused by being dirty!!!

oh, so its not dying? well thats good :) .. check the ground connection is there .. i mean i think the circle plate which the globe sits on should be ground i think .. u got h1's right? well check if thats connected properly ... it sounds like an electrical thing and theres a open circuit somewhere ... fiddle around abit u should find where its not connecting ...

Yeah had a good look, actually took the headlights out (respray car) and can see any issues, but it does it to both sides but not really at the same time!! might have to send this one to the auto electricians!!! real pain in the A**E

Check the voltage on your battery with the engine running. Rev the engine a bit, the voltage shouldn't go any higher than 14.5 or so. Should probably be under 14 actually (not sure). If it's too high then you have a faulty voltage regulator, should be repairable by an auto electrician for around $100. If you don't fix it you will blow bulbs all over the place, and also run the risk of blowing up more expensive electronic gear.

If the voltage is fine, then I dunno :)

not sure about them, they are the small $1 ones aren't they, bit hard to replace!!!

how hard is your suspension? thats what started my issues!!!

i'm thinking of setting up an extra eathing point for the light clusters to try and resolve my issue!! see how that goes!

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
