I've just got an R32 GTR, the headlights seem to do their own thing...

when you turn them on, sometimes one comes on (either one), then sometimes both come on?!? What is with that?

I assume that it is the switch - maybe dry solders?

Has anyone else had this problem?

Cheers

The switches in the 32's do not use a relay to switch the head lights, all the current go's through the switch :) , after checking everything else, you will find that replacing the switch will do the trick, seen it dozens of times. I have tried fixing these switches before due to the cost of them, but with no luck.

hope this helps

I fixed mine.. :rofl:

What happens is the switch heats up, the little plastic lug bits melt. In turn the contacts don't contact properly which makes the problem worse as it arcs hence more heat.

I soldered the two together. I can't remember exactly how as it was 2 years ago.

By doing this it will also cause the lowbeam to stay on while the hi-beam is on. Not sure if it creates a possible problem with overloading wiring or even the switch, mine has been fine for 2 years.

    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
