Im having a nightmare of a time with my r32 headlights. I bought the car as a half finished project(original ca18, manual. Now rb20det, full 5 stud subframe setup) 

All lights work, except headlight low and high. High will work via the flash switch. 

I have researched and found common faults with the headlight rotary switch. I have stripped the switch, cleaned up all contacts, and confirm power in, and then switched power out of this switch. 

My problem now is between the switch and the lights I am losing that feed. I have searched alot for a wiring diagram to try and trace the wiring without having to remove the dash but cannot find one at all! 

I had contemplated running new low beam wires from switch to lights, but then I will still have high beam issues. 

 

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. 

 

Cheers

The Australian R32 GT-R service manual is out there. 

Thanks Joshua. Greatly appreciated. 

Will have a hunt through this, hopefully the gtr and gts light wiring is similar enough

I would imagine it's identical, especially for the reflector lights.

Perfect! Found the issue between headlight switch and indicator stalk. Dont know exactly where the break is but just cut and rejoin with new wire between the 2.

Thanks alot for the manual, makes it alot easier to know for sure what should be going where.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
