Have got a series 1 r33 and have always wondered if the low beams are supposed to stay on when high beam is on. Mine switches off so that only 2 lights are on at a time instead of all 4. Is this the case with all 33's or is there a wiring issue or possibly wrong globes in mine.

There was Thread about this just the other day + many in the past.

It seems to be the design from factory and someone was getting defected for it recently.

There is a DIY thread on how to get both High & low beam to work at the same time.

I have the same mate. When you go from low beam to high beam it seems to switch off the lens on the outer side and turn the ones on the inside on. I assumed it would be down to the position of the 2 lens.

Seems to be regency approved, considering the amount of times my car has been there :P

old series 2 R31's were similar - outside lamps were low beam, and the two (each side) inner lamps were high beam. Which was funny seeing as the outer lights were H4's (high and low elements).

I had a auto sparky mate change the plug and wire in so when you hit high beam its 6 lamps of fury :)

It never really bothered me, almost forgot it even did it, but since i got it resprayed and a new set of rims etc... All the little things are really starting to annoy me. Also noticed the interior light will not come on when the doors open. Only manually with the roof switch. Yet the door switches have power and are grounded. It's almost as if it was never set up for it. And the door switches were for the alarm only.

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
