Hey guys,

So i've got a whole lot of shit wiring on my car. Its a R32 GTR. The only reason why I think that there would be so much wiring like this is due to the car previously having HID's?

What I want to know is there a section of loom that just plugs in for the headlights etc? It's hard to tell with my current setup as its wired with power coming straight off the battery so who knows? I'm not too good at reading electrical diagrams so havent bothered with the service manual. I want to revert back to the stock wiring.

I've attatched some pics to give you an idea. I can chop and join wires and all of that so if I need to do a few wires here and there to get rid of all this mess then thats fine. So is there a headlight loom that I can just replace it with? Should I just go to a auto electrician? Is there anybody on here in west melbourne that can have a look?

Cheers

What you have in your photo appears to be a fairly standard relay setup to overcome the stupid setup Nissan decided to use by running full voltage through the switch which eventually burns out the loom and the switch.

Granted your wiring looks messy, but if you can tidy it up it will be way more reliable than the original wiring.

Your best bet is to just make sure it is wired correctly and tidy it up.

I had a auto elec do that exact job on my R32 GTR and now all my headlights work every time I switch them on.

      There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/

      Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.

      Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.

      Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers

      The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
