Hello all,

I have just purchased and driven from Florida my new to me 89 metallic red GTR. It is basically amazing and what I was hoping for from the beginning. So far I have had only two issues. Right out of the gate, the car lot, the pump dies leading to a diagnosis of the fuel pump controller failing, a quick bypass and it's back to normal.. bow I'm looking at a headlight issue.. the switch always sends power but the relay doesn't always click and work. Tomorrow I hope to source a replacement and get into a general inspection and ensure everything is tight, clean and up to date on all the maintenance.

I have relays between my switch and the headlights, and the switches still arc up.  The damage was done 20 years ago.  It's hard to bring them back to the freshness required for them not to get dirty again, even with just relay coil loads on them.

And R32s don't typically have H4 globes either.  H1 & H3.

Headlight switches on these things get arc marks on the contacts.  You can dismantle them and clean the carbon off and they work again for a couple of years.  Rinse and repeat.

Thank you. I'll try that this week. Put a new Nissan relay in yesterday and it's better but still has random non function so o have to click it on and off

Yeah I cleaned mine up twice before changing it to a decent condition one. Also had burnt plugs. 100W bulbs don't work.

Standard wiring has H4 plug with an "adaptor/splitter" type thing that splits it to H3 and H1.

      Starting again

      Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Duncan · Posted

      Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
