S1 had a driving light option.

The ones on the bottom are the factory option driving lights.

The switch is just on the inside of the headlight switch if your car is fitted with them ;)

how do you mean " inside of the headlight switch"?? any diagram would be helpful.

Pretty sure this was an option on early r33 gts-t. I've seen this on a couple of cars.

The switch is located down near the gear shift sorround. Where those little coin slot things are.

The cops can fine you for using them when its not foggy or raining about $90 i think.

Its like the one on the wiper stalk to activate the rear wiper, but on the indicator if that helps?

Yes the sets are the same size, yes you could swap them over but you will need all the wiring to go with it.

The switch is on the indicator stalk. Quite simple really. My car has them and is a series one. There is also a relay in the engine box. It is under the fuse box cover. Any thing else?

cheers Atreyu!!

i was gonna wire up a switch by the coin holders near the handbrake.

yeah a couple more questions:

- does the car beep when you leave you factory fog lights on after you turn off the car?

- and does the dash light up as well?

e.g. does the car behave like you have you normal beam on?

I find the fog lights on my SII very useful especially when driving at night, they give me a brighter short distance view not to mention she looks awfully sexy when cruising with the fog n park lights on :) turns many heads hehe...

and to verify, YES it is illigal to have them on in normal driving conditions... (NSW)

Cheers

yep, they are illegal here in NZ too.

although theres alot of cars with 4 lights driving around; 2 normal beam and 2 more lower down in the bumper like the r33. what would those be? ppl driving illegally or are those lower ones also dipped?

how hard is it to wire the new switch to the buzzer that warns you that you left the lights on?

i dont want to leave them on and drain the battery

      33 GTR Broken front wheel knuckle

      By R32 TT · Posted

      Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.

      Coolant leak?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
