Hi there..

Dont know if this is the right area, but... The demister in my R32 hasnt gone since I got the car... anyway, measured the tracks on the back windows and there are no breaks... Pulled the switch out and found it didnt work... no problem, got another one that measured sweet.. fitted it and it still doesnt work (i.e no orange light comes on)... can anyone tell me if this is common with these, or if there is anything else I could check.. someone said to me once that you have ot leave the switch on for about ten minutes before the light "warms up" and comes on.. its not cold enough here for me to have a misty window to see if it works anyway, but I thought the light would come on at least? help...

well i am sure demisters dont need to be warmed up as my R32 one works when i press it even on a sunny day or on cold mornings... better take it to an auto electrician or maybe check your fuse? if its got one.... the light should come on regardless of the weather...

is there any other parts to them? or are they just a switch, a fuse and a set of rails on the back window? is there any other control box or something i could check? i've been into the local auto electrician and he cant be bothered... geez small towns are shocking..

cheers,

I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY R33 GTS-t 4 Door - There is a timer box between the switch & the relay that often gives trouble -I have yet to find mine ?? Its under the dash somewhere , Also the switch orange light bulbs often give trouble , they are a tiny 12v bulb that can be accessed by levering the top off the switch itself but has to be out of the dash to get to the little clips that hold it in . Maybe it is working but bulb is out??? Good luck , I am still trouble shooting mine???

      Do you plan on using 98 or e85?

      This should be pretty easy. 200rwkW is just about the max power out of an RB25 stock turbo. So, 12ish psi on a 2.5L. That boost limited mainly by the prospect of seeing the turbine in the cat after the smoke show. A steel wheeled equivalent would likely happily do ~220rwkW at something like 17 psi, where it would probably be bumping into the usual limits of such a sized turbo. These things have like a .48 rear. You will not need the 0.86 rear. The 0.64 will be fine. In fact, if you were looking at various mid-200rwkW options for RBs, most of them would be in a 0.64 rear. So, I think you will definitely want to be no bigger than that for a same sized but probably even more efficient (at making power) modern engine.

      Change the subframe bushes, transforms the car.

      For something a little more serious, Davinci Resolve is about the best there is for free video editors. No expiration dates or watermarks, completely free.

      Well, it's taken me until the last week of 2024 to actually do something on the Skyline but I consider it a good head start to 2025's efforts! I managed to justify (to myself anyway...) my purchase of the lift table. It made taking the rear subframe out a lot easier than it would have been without anyway! Everything is out and stripped down ready for a clean then powdercoating.  She's pretty grubby under there but pretty good condition for a 38 year old Japanese tin bucket. 12 years of zero street time have obviously helped that... I need to decide which of the factory suspension arms I will keep and replace so I only get what I'm keeping powdercoated.  Baby steps but it's a start!
