Hey guys,

So i've got a whole lot of shit wiring on my car. Its a R32 GTR. The only reason why I think that there would be so much wiring like this is due to the car previously having HID's?

What I want to know is there a section of loom that just plugs in for the headlights etc? It's hard to tell with my current setup as its wired with power coming straight off the battery so who knows? I'm not too good at reading electrical diagrams so havent bothered with the service manual. I want to revert back to the stock wiring.

I've attatched some pics to give you an idea. I can chop and join wires and all of that so if I need to do a few wires here and there to get rid of all this mess then thats fine. So is there a headlight loom that I can just replace it with? Should I just go to a auto electrician? Is there anybody on here in west melbourne that can have a look?

Cheers

What you have in your photo appears to be a fairly standard relay setup to overcome the stupid setup Nissan decided to use by running full voltage through the switch which eventually burns out the loom and the switch.

Granted your wiring looks messy, but if you can tidy it up it will be way more reliable than the original wiring.

Your best bet is to just make sure it is wired correctly and tidy it up.

I had a auto elec do that exact job on my R32 GTR and now all my headlights work every time I switch them on.

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
