I think when I got my boost guage installed the headlights on the left have stopped working.

The parking light works, but the headlight and the high beam have stopped.

Could this be a fuse or would it be a wiring thing?

I have changed the globe on the headlight and it's not that.

:D

this exact thing happened on my skyline after i was playing around

left headlights went completely dead aside from parkers

tried home fix job but no luck

called out auto electrician and it was apparantly the headlight switch in the dash

50 bucks later and it was fixed

wish i figured it out myself but :D

haha

sounds like a common problem :D

what I have discovered so far is that it isnt the globe as I replaced them.

also ... the lights were working in the garage and then stopped working all of a sudden. Then I left the car off for a few minutes and started it up. Turned the lights on and they worked! Went for a drive and they stayed on the entire time :(

so it's obviously an intermittent problem = harder to solve i guess :(

lol...

checked all the fuses in the boot with a meter and they all cam up good..

took it to an auto-elec yesterday and he said to come back today. When he asked what type of car it was he mutteredd something like, "nissan...mutter mutter...bloody switches...mumblemumble..."

will update the thread this afternoon

Strange ! I'm experiencing exactly the same with my old R31 with the same: left headlight!

Replaced globe, replaced fuse - no luck. Highbeam is working fine. All rights are working fine. Should all work - tried checking for lose wiring not much luck. Worked the other week for a bit I am sure.

Seems to be some type of strange ground leakage somewhere that I just can't track down.

Really, really annoying, especially considering that it annoys me that other drivers get around with only one headlight (looks like motorbike from distance). Of course I could drive with high beams all the time but that could annoy a few people :(

    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
    • You have no idea how many goddamn boxes I received these past three months haha Most have been put to use by now though, luckily
    • Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
    • Regardless of neglect or incompetence, fixing either is tedious and annoying. Most of the neglect on my car is definitely rust. I hope I can at least pass inspections later on and they won't fail the car due to slightly corroded hardlines. I was generous with rust converter and wax and it looks ok, most lines in the rear are hard to see properly anyways.  Definitely will test them though to make sure they don't rupture under pressure, in that case the car isn't going anywhere this year.
