R33 Headlight Cutting Out And Stalling Problems. Any Help?

[jesse_r]

Hi, having problems with my r33 series 2 at night. the car seems to start fine and lights work fine too at first. but after driving it and having to come to a complete stop the headlights start to cut out when its idling. and the car feels like its struggling not to stall.

it also seems to be more the one headlight then the other.

and when i pulled over to check the car out the other night one of the tail lights was also out but now its working again.

anyone have any experience with this or know what it could be?

had a look around for similar problems but getting different answers. have no idea myself really.

wondering if it could be a faulty relay caused by overloading current from braking? or maybe a vacuum hose leak or even a bad ground connection with engine and chassis?

don't think its related to the battery or alternator tho.

any help????

actually the car is idling fine. i thought it was idling low but my mistake.

its just the low beams turning off as you come to a stop.

the car has been taken to an auto electrician and he could not fix it. he thinks its a wiring issue but couldn't work it out cos he couldnt find any headlight wiring diagrams. either could i. but its not the alternator or relays.

took the car for a drive with my brother and did a few tests and it seems the lights are triggered by the speedo and the brake being applied together.

you can also hear like a relay or switch clicking as its triggered.

ive read through some topics and found that in japan they all tend to turn the headlights off at traffic lights and they may even be a device that can be fitted to do this automatically.

thinking now that my car may have something like this which is weird cos ive never heard about it.

anyone know anything about this or can lend some advice??

kinda stuck might have to keep tryin auto elects or even a compliance place.

cheers
