RH head light not working, parkers and hi beam are ok. Replaced the bulb and no probs, checked the fuse in the engine bay and alls ok.

Had the timing belt replaced just before it went, could that have cause it somehow in the dismantling and reasembling?

if its a r32 ..it will be the dash switch

the switch where you turn them on. they have a habit of doing this. they only turn 1 light on at a time. left then right. get a new switch and all should be fine, unless the new switch is dead too.

I have the same problem as mentioned here with my 94 BNR32 - the drivers side light isn´t working. When I bought the car it worked sometimes, later on it wouldn´t work at all.

High beam etc. are OK.

What´s weird about it, if you check with a multimeter WITHOUT a bulb connected, you get +12V. As soon as you connect the bulb, voltage drops to 0V...

So could this be the switch as well, or something else?

We removed all the wiring stuff and tried to find out where the cables are going etc., but since the color markings are different throughout the car it´s almost impossible to find out where to search for a broken cable etc.

Any ideas`?

i had to help solve a problem like this in a 180sx on saturday. we tried pulling the switch out and it was working ok. we were getting power to the bulb but it would work. then we made a new earth for it and it worked. the standard earth was crappy and wasn't letting enough power out to let the light turn on.

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
