Hi there..

Dont know if this is the right area, but... The demister in my R32 hasnt gone since I got the car... anyway, measured the tracks on the back windows and there are no breaks... Pulled the switch out and found it didnt work... no problem, got another one that measured sweet.. fitted it and it still doesnt work (i.e no orange light comes on)... can anyone tell me if this is common with these, or if there is anything else I could check.. someone said to me once that you have ot leave the switch on for about ten minutes before the light "warms up" and comes on.. its not cold enough here for me to have a misty window to see if it works anyway, but I thought the light would come on at least? help...

well i am sure demisters dont need to be warmed up as my R32 one works when i press it even on a sunny day or on cold mornings... better take it to an auto electrician or maybe check your fuse? if its got one.... the light should come on regardless of the weather...

is there any other parts to them? or are they just a switch, a fuse and a set of rails on the back window? is there any other control box or something i could check? i've been into the local auto electrician and he cant be bothered... geez small towns are shocking..

cheers,

I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY R33 GTS-t 4 Door - There is a timer box between the switch & the relay that often gives trouble -I have yet to find mine ?? Its under the dash somewhere , Also the switch orange light bulbs often give trouble , they are a tiny 12v bulb that can be accessed by levering the top off the switch itself but has to be out of the dash to get to the little clips that hold it in . Maybe it is working but bulb is out??? Good luck , I am still trouble shooting mine???

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!

      The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
