Just brought my 1st skyline, 4 Door R34 and very happy with it. Now one of the Xenon head lights isn't working and i'm trying to sort out what it could be. Did the basic fuse and relay checks and they seem to be ok. Tried a new globe a guy I know had but still nothing. I will swap over the globes from side to side incase the new globe is dicky but i doubt it is.

Now I have been told by 2 different people there is 12V to the head light globe plug, and it goes to high voltage after the ballast, and other people have told me its full power at the globe, which is what I think is the case. So sticking a test light into it wouldn't be the best idea. Spoke with Nissan and they had no idea about them.

Is there anywhere to look or check to see if i am getting power to and what should i look for if anyone knows. I can only guess to check power going into the head light or the ballast. I was hoping maybe to get hold of another light and check it with that to see if it is the ballast or what in order to narrow it down. Either give me pin numbers or wire colours where to check power at?? Anything at all

My first skyline experience is good, and hope I can sort it out to keep it like that, and any hints, tips or help from anyone would be great.

      But it's much better to use a freedom unit that has four different possible meanings...

      Or a useable metric unit?

      I would try messing with friction modifier to see if it smooths it out.  Just keep adding more until it stops chattering or grabbing quite so much. If you haven't changed the gear oil in a long time you may as well start there too in case that has anything to do with it. You might want to also verify the initial torque is set to the lowest setting too. Requires popping out one of the CV axles first but that's not too bad. Once you're sure the preload is set to the lowest you can try adding an ounce at a time of friction modifier until it feels right to you.

      It is possibly 55 degrees for the Nismo version. I had a look through the manual and the stocker has a breakaway torque of 2.5 to 3.5kgm. Supposedly the Nismo LSD goes down to 5kgm when worn in but it is pretty grabby even with very little throttle. Worse when cold. So I guess you have three things. 1. Shims. 2 Friction plates 3. Cams Would think shims would be the easiest but Ive no clue how many tenths of a mm shim thickness change equals how many kgm torque. Also not sure if the Nismo friction plates are similar/different to stock or if they are the most of the source of the diff being angry. Think I can write off the Nismo rebuild kit for the standard diff as not being what I want.

      Yeah, it was a bit of confusion with me, I rang and asked if they had a boot for a soft top, and then the paint shop when they rang and were asked if it had a hard top on it, which it does, just not a PRHT....LOL Meh, whilst frustrating for all concerned it isn't a war stopper and should be a thing of the past in a week or two In other N/A related news, car is booked in at the end of the month for the cams, springs, retainers, harmonic balancer and retune  I might even pull the lazy arse card and get them to do a full service on it whilst it is there
