The door open light won't go away on my 32 GTR. I've noticed about a month back that the cabin dome light would flicker on and off when I close the door.

I have checked both door sensor and they works fine. The boot light turns off when I shut the boot, so thats working too, although I don't think the 32s have a boot sensor?

Just wondering if any one else on this forum have experienced this problem? There must be an exposed wire somewhere thats grounding sensors. Anyone knows how does the wiring go? I have a feeling it might be my alarm system.

all i know about the door switch is, as you probably already know, when the door is opened the switch moves out and it grounds the wire on the back of it to the chasis. i'd say your right in thinking that one of the door switch wires either has, damaged insulation and is grounding itself out somewhere. or the connection for the alarm wasn't re-insulated properly and is grounding itself.

to check if its one of the door switch lines that is grounding out. when you have the problem, pull the door switch out and use a multimeter set up for a continuity test, and test between the wire at the back of the switch to the chasis. if you get continuity then that line is grounding out somewhere. then just trace the wire back and see if you can find where.

I know on the R32 GTS-T there is a boot sensor to. I had the same problem when I got R32 I replaced both door sensors and the problem was still there. What ended up being the issue on my car was the wire that runs to the boot sensor had broken so once I fixed that no more problems. The wire for the boot sensor runs under the drivers door sill garnish (unsure if that is correct name but the plastic garnish near the bottom of the door that says skyline) behind the bottom mount for the seatbelts and through the rear seat. My wire was broken behind the drivers side bottom seatbelt mount.

      I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.

      I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.

      It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...

      I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate

      Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
