The door open light won't go away on my 32 GTR. I've noticed about a month back that the cabin dome light would flicker on and off when I close the door.

I have checked both door sensor and they works fine. The boot light turns off when I shut the boot, so thats working too, although I don't think the 32s have a boot sensor?

Just wondering if any one else on this forum have experienced this problem? There must be an exposed wire somewhere thats grounding sensors. Anyone knows how does the wiring go? I have a feeling it might be my alarm system.

all i know about the door switch is, as you probably already know, when the door is opened the switch moves out and it grounds the wire on the back of it to the chasis. i'd say your right in thinking that one of the door switch wires either has, damaged insulation and is grounding itself out somewhere. or the connection for the alarm wasn't re-insulated properly and is grounding itself.

to check if its one of the door switch lines that is grounding out. when you have the problem, pull the door switch out and use a multimeter set up for a continuity test, and test between the wire at the back of the switch to the chasis. if you get continuity then that line is grounding out somewhere. then just trace the wire back and see if you can find where.

I know on the R32 GTS-T there is a boot sensor to. I had the same problem when I got R32 I replaced both door sensors and the problem was still there. What ended up being the issue on my car was the wire that runs to the boot sensor had broken so once I fixed that no more problems. The wire for the boot sensor runs under the drivers door sill garnish (unsure if that is correct name but the plastic garnish near the bottom of the door that says skyline) behind the bottom mount for the seatbelts and through the rear seat. My wire was broken behind the drivers side bottom seatbelt mount.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
