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???

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.

      GTX2867R GEN 2 NO OUTPUT FOR BOOST SOLENOID

      From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.

      Nissan Skyline R34(ER34) Front Suspension Noise

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

      Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
