in my R32, my headlight switch actually melted in the 'on' position after driving around with high beams on for a while (highway at night).... i could turn the switch back to off, but the headlights stayed on... i think it was around $30 for a new switch from the wreckers... Dunno if that would be your problem, but it could be something to look at...

oh, and it should be easy enough to do by yourself (i know mine was)

Krzysiu Its a 32 so the only stick controls high beam and blinkers,we have a dial thing we turn for our parkers and low beam.

2G U UP I'm gonna pull apart the dash suround and have a look around ,

Azzura ,hope fully i can fix it my self ,I don't have fog lights so I'm thinkin of wiring the headlights to the fog light switch and have parkers and low beam all come on at once !save $30 lol ,plus don't think wreckers are open yet and I'm sick of popping the bonnett everywhere i go feel like I'm drivin a torana with no alarm disconecting the dizzy lol.

thanks guys I 'll put up the way i fixed it in a few days (when i fix it eventually lol)

SOLVED

Aight for all interested 2 GU UP was on the right track,There is a switch in the centre console I must have bumped it on

(I took it to auto electrician took him 10 mins -what a champ didn't charge me either ,i left the car there for 2 hrs so he could have bullshitted and said he spent an hour etc)

,there is 2 switches one is for retractable spoiler pretty sure and other must be for fog lights ,which also puts parkers on.

thanx for input guys

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      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!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
