Im having a nightmare of a time with my r32 headlights. I bought the car as a half finished project(original ca18, manual. Now rb20det, full 5 stud subframe setup) 

All lights work, except headlight low and high. High will work via the flash switch. 

I have researched and found common faults with the headlight rotary switch. I have stripped the switch, cleaned up all contacts, and confirm power in, and then switched power out of this switch. 

My problem now is between the switch and the lights I am losing that feed. I have searched alot for a wiring diagram to try and trace the wiring without having to remove the dash but cannot find one at all! 

I had contemplated running new low beam wires from switch to lights, but then I will still have high beam issues. 

 

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. 

 

Cheers

The Australian R32 GT-R service manual is out there. 

Thanks Joshua. Greatly appreciated. 

Will have a hunt through this, hopefully the gtr and gts light wiring is similar enough

I would imagine it's identical, especially for the reflector lights.

Perfect! Found the issue between headlight switch and indicator stalk. Dont know exactly where the break is but just cut and rejoin with new wire between the 2.

Thanks alot for the manual, makes it alot easier to know for sure what should be going where.

    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to come I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
