Got myself a set of s2 tail lights and installed them on the weekend. They all work fine and look really good i reckon. Only problem is now i get a light on the dash when i turn the headlights on. Though last night it went out for a little while and then came back on again.

Is that light supposed to come on when your headlights are on? Or what does it mean if it's on?

Also when changing the tail lights, there is a green plug on the same loom as the tail lights which doesn't plug into anything. Anyone know what it's for?

that's an earth, son, the green thing is an earthing plug, i can't really explain where it goes exactly

but here goes,

there is a steel clip which points downwards, it is located towards the middle of the boot, it is concealed beneath the plastics which surround the lights, it should be fairly self explanitory, but i guess it could be a bit tricky just reading this, it's like, up the top of the boot tub, above the light the green thingy clips onto that

if i remember rightly it's more between the centre and right taillight,,,

by the way, S2 taillight are sexy, i now have a grudge against u for not buying my series 1 tailights =-P

having said that, i forgot to plug the green thing in when i did my tailn lights, and the red headlight flashed up, its nothing to be concerned about replicate, it just means they aren't earthing properly,

if this still isn't making sense i spose i can get some pics n post em up but hopefully that should make sense homey,

good luck

aight homey, i took some pics for you, hopefuly it'll make a bit more sense

photos are in succession,

first is back of car, second is the light you look at, third is the view of the light cluster (upside down, as if you were looking at it) then finally, the green loom and where it is located in relation to the light

i know this is an old thread but i have just installed the s2 tailights ....and i get the red headlight symbol on the dash aswell. The only things i unplugged were the lights to take em out and the plug the new ones in. all other cables seem to be fine were left plugged in

replicate did u solve this problem?

and eps do still have the pics of what u meant?

and does anyone else no how to fix the headlight light on the dash

ok if that didnt work it means one of the globes inside the lights is blown, i used to have this problem with one of my lights when i would brake,

you have 2 globes inside each cluster, obviously one of them isn't working, you might need to pull the light panel out it only takes a sec cos it can be a bit hard to tell,

but yeah find out which one is working and replace it, the reason the red light comes on is cos it isn't getting a signal back from the light n it's a cefiro warning system to say one of your lights is out! :)

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
