Here's my problem. My headlights don't work when the switch is in the plain old "on" position. But they work in the "auto" position. (when it's dark enough of course) What's the most likely cause of this? All my fuses are sweet. Could it be a fault with the switch? It's a real pain in the arse. When I'm under a street light, they have a bad habit of turning off.

Also, how do I turn on the yellow driving lights? Nothing seems to make them work.

Headlights... Hmmm, clean connector into back of headlight with connector clean... Then, if all fuses work, check behind you dash and your at the terminals making sure they are also connected.

Foglights... there should be a switch on the right of the steering wheel next to the side mirror adjuster. Get back to me if presing that button doesn't work.

That switch makes my park lights come on. If I have the switch on the colomn on high beam (The twist one, not the dipswitch) and press that button, the headlights go onto dip. (No fog lights though) The plugs on the back of the headlights are all good. When I got the car it had suffered a frontal, so I had all that apart when It was on the chasis plant.

    • I believe mine is helical and not clutch type. During drifting one wheel was spining as if it was open diff so bought kazz 1.5 way and has sat on my shelf for the past 5 years as I want to learn shiming process and do it myself   in meantime thought I change the diff oil hence post here. So any 75-90?   i am pretty sure r34 are helical not clutch lsd as standard . That is gtt ones
    • Throw between gears are so much that is getting annoying. I have pro short shifter on my mx5 and e36 and love it . Skyline is getting unbearable    would syncro issues and short shifter is no no? Anyone mind explaining a little on why before i buy cube
    • No. Well, some people "seem to use redline shockproof in the diff". Most do not. I would only contemplate it if you have badly worn CW&P gears. And no. No-one in their right mind has ever put ATF into a diff. Any normal diff/gear oil of the right viscosity will do. Whatever takes your fancy. Castrol, Nulon, Penrite, Redline MT range. Whatever. It's just gears. 75W-90 or 80W-90 is typical. I think that GL-5 is hard to avoid these days, although I think that a GL-4 is probably preferred, given the vintage of the equipment. At least Redline offer a number of GL-4 oils. If you have a clutch type LSD instead of the VLSD, then of course you need a proper LSD oil. Anything from any of the same names above. If you have a helical LSD, then it does not require LSD oil, and the recco is the same as for the VLSD. You don't want the LSD friction modifiers in the oil for a non-clutch type LSD if you can avoid it.  
    • You may want to list it up for a little higher - This price is much lower than you may realize. Here you're pretty much selling to people who most likely already have these things on their own rigs. S chassis people eat this stuff up like you'd not believe.
    • I had my car for over 10 years and done around few thousand miles but never changed the oil. thinking of changing it.   what brand and viscocity would you put in ? people seem to use redline shockproof in the diff   on  contraty seen others using atf dexron 2 or 3 so wanted to check. is it 1 liter?
