hey guys, been searching for answers on net but havnt found any. so decided to join this forum. anyway, i just got a r33 gts-t sII and its auto. just drove it home and realise that the main headlights turns off when i full stop at the traffic lights and turns back on when i accelerate again. the side lights in front still stays on but the main ones keep doing this. the risk is nothing as it turns back on but this will attract cops at night time.. so can anyone explain?

thanks, xtc.

its when i come to a complete stop. the side lights still stays on but just the main ones. its actually pretty cool as once i let go brakes and car starts rolling forward it turns back on. any ideas? modded? or wiring problem? also ive noticed that my exhaust is making wierd noises. like it sounds normal then seems like it once to stall once every 5 seconds, ive checked the idling but it doesnt move up and down that much. any probs here? keeep in mind its auto trans again.

What happens with the lights if you shift to neutral? I'd suggest the alternator is dying, and isn't able to supply sufficient voltage at idle (with tranny loading engine) to keep the lights going.

Otherwise, you have a really serious wiring problem.

ive just checked what happens if i put it ino neutral still happens. apparently i then fiddled with a few more buttons on the automatic when i suddenly noticed it was one of the *reduced lights on and off* that did this. so guess everything is fine with the car. just had a mate check and serviced it, needed new oil, coolant flush and new spark plugs.

anyway while im at it anyone knows what intercooler i should get to replace original one?

    • Welcome Gabriel, and thanks for saving one of the less famous cousins!
    • Wanting to avoid this if possible but kinda looking like I may not have a choice 😭
    • Ok awesome thank you. Just wanted to have them in case I can find some and need to compare part numbers!
    • All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.    
    • It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.
