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.

    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
