Hi all,

Can anyone please confirm when hi beams are switched on, the low beam headlights should also remain on?

This is what the mechanic reckons as I have just gone for a pink slip test and did not pass because of this.

From memory I have never seen happen on my R33 GTS-t but haven't really took too much notice.

Cheers,

Leo

The low beams turn off when you put high beams on as standard. I would find a different mechanic...

If you try and hold the stalk between the low beam and high positions can get them working at the same time though :blink:

Legaly your mechanic is correct. Skyline headlights don't do this and most people couldn't give two shits so just find a different mechanic.

affirmative. almost all cars that you see will have both highs and lows on at the same time. r33s all have what you do. there is a mod you can do, and its in the DIY section to fix this.

I only noticed it as something out of the ordinary when I got my Subaru, low beams are always on!

I wonder what reasoning behind the rule is... as the high beams ALWAYS come on before the low beams turn off so you always have continuous forward facing light and the low beams are quite redundant while the high beams are on :blush:

Makes sense for the low beam to stay on when turning on high beam if you've got xenons... it's not good for the xenon bulb to be turned on and off quickly. But otherwise agree if they're just standard halogens the low beam is made redundant

I'll check out the DIY section; I've wanted to have this done since buying series 3 headlights aftermarket.

      I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.

      I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.

      Yet another RB Neo misfiring thread after reading all the others.

      Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
