Hello all.

I am in desperate need of a new 3 pin electrical connector for one of my headlights on R34. The plug has been holding on by a thread and wires are in all sorts of bad condition. I need to replace ASAP and have no idea where I can find the plug. Might start trying some wreckers I guess. I'm happy to repin the wiring, just need the plug. Any ideas?

I grabbed the wiring harness diagram from a website and circled the 3 pin plug I'm talking about. I do not really want to go down the path of replacing the whole harness if I don't have to.20201005_123530.thumb.jpg.fc01f6c2b451151793411929c0bb67b0.jpg

Might be the same as some nissan crank or cam angle sensors perhaps? 
best bet would be to either buy a new one online or from nissan with new terminals or if you need quicker maybe try upullit or pick a part or something like that and rummage through the nissan looms until you find something that might work. 
failing all of the above you could just buy the terminals and reuse the plastic casing if its not too bad

Thanks @Millerman. Yeah looks similar to those plugs. I'll suss it out more. Buying new online seems rather difficult. Seems this plug is part of a whole loom and you cant buy it on its own. Well, not that have found after searching all afternoon. Looking through pages and pages of connectors. I think you are on the money. Best bet will be finding one at a wreckers. Guess I was just hoping that on the off chance someone somewhere happened to have an old harness lying around they don't need which has this plug on it.

Or, failing that..... just buy ANY 3 pin plug/socket combo and redo both sides.

Yes I wish this was an option. Cannot redo both sides. The other side it plugs on to is the headlight itself. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Check out Ballanger Motorsports and use their identifier to figure out which one you have. Once you find the connector, look for an Aussie dealer that can sell it to you.

  • Thanks 1

After all that the wrecker was a bit dodgy. Ended up buying a whole harness from a local wrecker. So if anyone else out there runs into trouble and comes across this thread, let me know. When I have what I need from it I will happily cut off and sell any of the remaining good connectors. Just hit me up. Seems the headlight plug is one of the hardest to find. Anything engine related is easy. Body wise is not.

Bit late to the party, but the genuine pigtail connector is 24028-ag006.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
