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 :(

    • We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.
    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
