Hi guys, sorry for starting another thread on this, but i need quick replies as im going to be paying for this tomorrow so if the price aint right, i want to know :P

As topic suggests, i was quoted $330 odd dollars for an new R32 GTR headlight switch, it seems rather pricey for something that is known to fail anyway! Is the price right?

At first they got in the indicator stalk with the high/low beam attached (obviously the wrong bit) and it was "only" $130... So $300+ sounds wrong in comparison..?

I've never had to buy one myself, but they fail regularly (I've had a couple of dead ones). I'm not surprised it is much more expensive than the part that doesn't fail.

Have you tried to buy one on here? anyone that is wrecking a 32 or building a race car will probably have one

I havn't tried buying from here, i need it ASAP as i use my car mostly after 5pm and later, and sooner or later the cops will get me and try to ping me for anything they can think of!!! I dont understand how they can wear out regularly. From what i have seen, its generally just normal wear and tear that kills them, not the high resistance that supposedly melts them.. But i will know for sure when i open mine up and see what the issue is..

I ended up buying the brand new headlight switch, hopefully it lasts a while before it fails. I was very surprised with how easy it all was to take apart.. Within 10 minutes i had everything pulled off including the instrument cluster (i wanted to see what the nismo gauge set actually replaces)

      Nismo coppermix twinplate clutch

      From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.

      HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
