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)

    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
    • Can try Maxima. Or random Infiniti models from the same era. Good luck with your hunt, let us know what you find!
