Hi folks,

Needs a heads up on my dashboard and rear lights not working (headlights and interior lights are working).

- Dimmer is not the problem

- I've checked the fuses under the bonnet near the battery, according to http://www.skylineowners.com/forum/showthr...2370&page=2 there is an 10A-TAIL L fuse which I can't find in my R32

- I've looked at this http://usagtr.googlepages.com/R32_fuse_box_eng.pdf to check the TAIL LIGHT FUSE and there is no problem

- I've checked the other fuses and they appear to be alright

I'm pretty sure that I need to find the 10A-TAIL L fuse to fix the problem but where is it in the R32?

Many thanks.

hey mate had the same issue not too long ago.. unfortunately this is going to suck for you.. first pull out under dash and check all wires are not dodgey.. mine was a mess and was shorting out my fuses infact turns out my problem was the harness.. i pulled the dash out and my clip was melted.. had to re-wire and resolder the replacement with a new light switch and all was good.. if this is what is happening to yours then you will notice the dash light not working and the rear taillights not working but my brake lights worked.. (they run of the same line mate). hope this helps... cheers..

sorry but i find it unlikely about tail and dash lights running from same power supply as brake lights if thats what you meant. never seen it before and would give no visibilty as night if there was a problem on either circuit.

The dash lights and tail lights run on the same circuit in an R31 skyline. If your tail lights are out, you can't see your dash lights. Not sure on the R32 though.

I've just bought an R32 and I don't have any dash lights. The inner two tail lights are working but the outside ones are off (i'm not sure if they're meant to be on with an R32). Brake lights are working.

Hopefully I can find the problem...

Hey I just got my dash lights working! It was the dimmer switch. I pulled the dimmer switch out and bypassed it by connecting the two wires together. Everything is working sweet now!

      New R32 owner soon

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah agreed, you can't assume that shop are they only people who ever had to work on it. It was just a guess on the mods based on how things were done back then. You can check the Air Flow Meters by the part number on their tags, they are likely either Z32 or Nismo ones (both read about the same but the Z32 one is a little larger while nismo is stock size but supports the higher airflow like a Z32). And yes, all that would get you to 450hp / 340kw To tell what is happening with the turbos, you want a photo of the tag on the core, that will say what it was made out of  (they can retain the front and rear covers to make the plumbing easier)

      1992 R32 GT-R Race Car

      By bardabe · Posted

      I'm selling my personal race car. 1992 BNR32 Skyline GT-R About eight years ago the engine developed the dreaded low oil pressure problem. I removed it and found the issue. However shortly after I moved half way across the country, moved my work shop, bought a house, got married, then moved my shop again to it's permanent location for the time being. in turn I do not have the time to race this car as it should be. In turn the engine I built for this car will end up in my street car and this car I hope finds a home with someone who can use it to it's full potential. The roll bar was built by Jason Noren Fabricaiton in Pomona California to SCCA and NASA Specs. The car used to compete in redline time attack and global time attack enthusiast class. It also has a fire suppression system.  The car is with me at my workshop in Kyle Texas, USA. Shipping it is no problem, I can personally deliver the car to the port of either Houston or Los Angeles. Any other port depending on where it is may require transport but we can always work that out.   The chassis itself is rust free, rear quarters and under fenders are free of any rust so it's a very solid foundation for anyone who wishes to move forward with it. As posted and at the asking price of $20,000 USD the car includes all of the following;   All OEM Body panels, front fenders, rear bumpers etc.  OEM Nissan Projector headlamps (Pictured N1 lamps were removed) OEM Nismo Side Skirts / Extensions OEM Rear Spats  Front & Rear Subframes are installed car is full roller Rear Subframe has Cusco Camber Arms, Whiteline HICAS Elimination Front Subframe has Whiteline tension rods and whiteline Sway bars w/ endlinks.  Buddy Club N1 Coilovers All chassis wiring and engine wiring is in tact. Attessa System is fully in tact and was functional before engine removal.  BCNR33 GT-R Brembo Brakes F+R with Endless MX72 Plus Pads, DBA Rotors & Stainless Steel Brake lines Billion Racing Radiator Billion Radiator Hoses Fluidyne Engine Oil Cooler Accusump System (trunk Mounted) 5 Speed Transmission w/ Transfer Case F+R Prop-shafts Rear Differential With rear Axles.  Nismo Gauge Cluster Nismo Clutch + Flywheel   Essentially what is needed to make this car running and driving again is as follows: A working Engine, an ECU, and time to put it together. The price posted is or best offer as I am willing to remove some components to accommodate price to a certain extent. If any serious buyer wants full detailed pictures, videos, or any questions I'll be happy to answer them. I believe this car is priced to move quickly considering it's a rust free and very straight chassis but always open to fair negotiation.  I can be contacted via phone or email.
