Hi,

Tried this in the maintenance forum but got no responses, so here go. I have a few questions regarding headlights on the R32, specifically the GT-R:

* Are the headlights the same across the R32 range?

* I understand there are two different types of R32 headlights: one fitted to earlier cars, one to later cars. Is this correct?

* Does anyone have measurements for the lights?

* Can anyone provide close up pictures of the two types?

* Better yet, does anyone have pictures of the headlights with the glass front removed?

Thanks,

Lucien.

i think only the 89 model had different lights cos the front indicaters were clear not orange. so that is maybe why they changed the actually head light cos of the different design or something.. thats about all i got.

GTR headlights changed slightly in wattage in 1991, other than that it should be the same for the GTR. THe GTSt's changed all over the place, but not the GTR.

Wattage doesn't really bother me, I am more interested in changes to the reflectors, projectors, etc, etc (ie. the construction of the headlight) :D

you're thinking N1 headlights anfd GTR headlights... I guess they're both GTR's but N1 headlights are a lot more expensive and rarer. Two Square = N1, Square + Round = GTR.

There's a lot of Square + Rounded Square goin around which are 1989 pov pack headlights off Type G's. A lot of people think these are N1 but they're not.

the only difference between the GTR ones and the rest of em is the clip for the nosepiece that goes inbetween the bonnet and the bumper. So if you tried to fit GTS/t ones you could on a GTR (the brackets to mount it are all the same) but you won't be able to put your nose thingy on.

Not really 2 square ones, but it has a higher intensity inner bulb and was only available on race equipped GTR's (which had the N1 spec RB26DETT). Also back light takes up the entire headlight, and the inner light sits on top of it.

Very similar to the N1, cept that it used low power bulbs and the back light takes up half the headlight only.

And these are a set of aftermarket headlights that I'm getting :rofl:

god knows, they seem to pop up on a couple of drift spec r32's, still trying to find out who manufactures them... they're basically the same globes but mounted on the outside withouta glass cover... the one above the last one is the same headlight close up...

that explains why my headlights are slightly different... left has the ring & right is like the one with 208 next to it.

despite the slight differences in design they both have the same intesity & beam spread on my car.

the only difference between the GTR ones and the rest of em is the clip for the nosepiece that goes inbetween the bonnet and the bumper. So if you tried to fit GTS/t ones you could on a GTR (the brackets to mount it are all the same) but you won't be able to put your nose thingy on.

Do you have pictures of the clip in question... ?

    • No. The ECU's hose is for a connetcion between the plenum (assuming single throttle body, not ITBs) and the ECU's internal MAP sensor. This is the primary load measurement of the ECU - so you need to get this one right. This has NOTHING to do with the boost contol. The wastegate also needs to see a boost signal - but it is actually far better for it NOT TO COME FROM THE PLENUM (again, assuming single TB, and not ITBs). This should come from the turbo's compressor housing (assuming there is a nipple on there, which there might well not be), or on the boost pipe somewhere between the turbo and the TB. On the pipe from the turbo to the intercooler is usually most convenient. The boost controller is then located between that boost source and the wastegate, ACCORDING TO THE CORRECT PLUMBING DRAWING FOR THAT BOOST CONTROLLER. There is no general diagram or instruction that will be correct for every case. Then the other ports on the plenum are for purposes such as Duncan described. If the boost controller has an internal MAP sensor, for a boost display, etc, then it will want to be hooked up there, alongside the ECU and the FPR.
    • Ok gotcha, so one post to fpr  another to bov  and I have the mishimoto boost controller and a link g4+ so I’d just have the tuner set it up properly. For the last two from plenum post throttle to  ecu/ boost controller, I know that I have a hose coming from the ecu that I was confused about so I assume that’s what connect to the boost controller from the ecu? And then the last is just from plenum to boost controller then to wastegate?
    • From there, it was just a quick electrical check, prime the oil and start her up Which, is not what happened. 1. Bloody seppo Aeropro battery holder. Not only was it too tall for the battery (which I'll forgive them for, I have another battery the same nominal size that is taller than Neil's one, but the bracket is a fixed height so the battery was spaced up) But the thing that really shits me is the hardware to hold it on requires a 7/32 Hex key. WTF. No-one will ever be able to remove or install the damn thing without a hex key they don't own 2. Kill switch no longer worked once the console was installed. Neil mentioned above he had to adjust the length but it no longer cleared the console once installed. Sorted. 3. Suspiciously, the brake light holders were hanging in the boot with no globes. Sure enough the stopper on the brake pedal was missing so they are always on unless the kill switch is activated. Will pick one up tomorrow (turns out 32 and 33 don't use the same stopper) 4. All that sorted, I turned on the kill switch, turned the key to ACC. Nothing. Turned it to IGN. Nothing. Checked some fuses and found the main IGN in the boot was missing which improved things once it was replaced. Now ECU and dash lights turn on with IGN but still no fuel pump. 5. Turned it to Start....ECU on, no fuel pump, no starter. Plus the voltage dropped straight to 9v.  I suspect the starter is f**ked but am going to have to work through it all and see what is happening, really looks like more than one issue. Does anyone have the R33 fuse box key with the circuit it sources from (eg BAT, ACC, IGN, SRT etc) and supplies? I can find a translated list showing Amps and circuit without supply circuit, and I can find supply circuit without Amps and target circuit.
    • 3rd time lucky, the AAC is now all plumbed up after getting some final fittings All set up under the plenum of maximum access
