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.

    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
    • 8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
