Does only the left HL turn with the steering wheel?

That's all my car does. There is a picture in a user manual that seems to indicate this light is the only one that moves and goes 30 degrees.

Makes sense too, as you already sit on the RHD of the car.

Does anyone have BOTH lights moving around corners?

I'm sure I've noticed the driver's side light move, but only when moving at speed

keep an eye out next time you're driving at night

They both move, tested couple of hours ago. There is something strange about right one though. It seems that it does not move until you trun wheel to certain point where left one does it instantly. i though that it was broken at first :devil:

Hmmm... my 'AFS' warning light flashes too.

Methinks they buggered it up during compliance. Once I get the Xenons to put back in I'll get someone to check it out. Hopefully it'll be a matter of putting them in and they'll just work.

BTW the 'Auto' lights are awesome!

Have figured it out.

My workshop told me the right one does not swivel right as to not interfere with oncoming traffic when turning right.

Makes sense and consistent with the Japanese pic in my manual.

My error is most probably just because the Xenon bulbs are missing.

Anyone put Xenons back in yet? I have bulbs but reluctant to open it up myself.. Anyone knows specialist in Sydney who does this and at what cost?

I haven't... yet...

There is one V36 compliance shop in Syd and in Brissy. I don't know the Syd one but if you find out you can try them.

Otherwise I would have thought any auto elec should be able to do it. My brother (a shop fitter, not a mechanic) did my R34. I was quoted $100 or 150 for this once from memory... seemed a little high for what most guys can do themselves (except for me, being a very unhandy man).

I was told easiest way to do is to put the car up on a hoist and remove the wheel to gain access through behind the front 1/4 fender.

Taking off the front bumper is NOT recommended - it can stuff up the airbag sensors (even with the car off).

I refitted my HID's myself ... took around 2 hours to work it all out..

easiest way is jack it up, take the wheel off, take the inner splash guard off, connect the HID's to the existing ballasts, done!

If your importer was nice he will make it easy to revert it back!

Aussie standard H1's are CRAP honestly there is no comparison i could barely drive at night with the shit that the HID's were replaced with!

oh, and if your thinking of changing the fog lights... good luck! they are an absolute BITCH to get to! most pain in the pass job ever!!!

Thanks for the info.

I was still thinking of taking it somewhere, as I want to fit a band expander and wire in a USB charger for my Tom tom while I'm at it. Maybe even do an iPhone charger (apparently even with the iPod cable the 3GS won't charge) and talk to them about wiring in a little set top box (for TV).

Is it the one for FM Radio?

Yes. Speaking of which, has anybody done this to a V36? Would be good to know what adaptor is required. Apparantly the V35 is a little different. Assuming you can buy these from Jaycar, have also seen some made in NZ ones too.

there is an ipod cable for v36?

( i know americans got one, but jap spec models dont have a cable available i thought?)

My port looks the same as the US one but to be honest I don't know.

My port looks like that, but I don't have the cable. Nor the 'BOSE for Skyline' badge, even thought I have the BOSE stereo (SP model).

Mines all Infiniti badging anyway.

BTW am in touch with a company in NZ that makes the band expanders - only $30 NZ delivered for very high quality ones.

Still need to work this out: 'Also I would need to know what type of antenna plug is in the back of the radio unit eg. A single plug or a twin pin plug as these model vehicles varied."

Anyone know?

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
