Hi People!

This is my first post on the forum - as I am now a proud owner of a '97 RS4 stagea. There doesn't seem to be a heap of them here in the ACT, so if you see me on the road (silver - dual sunroofs) wave!

I just had a noob question to ask as well - I've just about figured out every little trait of the car, except when the fog lights were 'disabled' for compliance they just cut the plugs off, so of course I want to fix this and was just wondering if anyone knew what kind of plugs they might use? Or just easier to go to an auto electrician. I'm talking about the small yellow ones next to the main lights.

Anyway, thanks for providing such an excellent resource!

Cheers,

Groonsnout

I have only just bought my stag too and I know it has only been in Oz for less than 12 months, I actually have all the compliance papers.

So it has been complied recently however my yellow foggies are fully functional :P

I did ask this in another thread but I never really got an answer, is operating foglights in Australia illegal? I would take a stab at yes if yours were disabled in the comp process.

I spose the other question is do the cops actually pull you up for them? Has anyone been pulled up for using them on here? I have seen tons of silvias with their yellow lights on crusing around over the last few years.

In QLD Yellow is a reserved colour for Emergency Vehicles only, along with Red, Blue, Green and Flashing White. So technically yeah is is a defectable thing up here, yet I have used them, funnily enough in the fog, and passed a copper and he didnt look twice.

They sell yellow spotties for cars at supercheap and I see heaps of 4x4 with them and red spotties here in rocky all the time, guess the police up here are pretty lax about it.

can someone please put up a photo of the lights in question?

I have never seen any "fog" lights on mine, but if I knew where to look I would love to put some coloured globes in there myself

The foggies on S1's are the little yellow lights right next to the main headlights, on the insides of them. On your right stalk there should be a switch for it.

And the globes are clear, so any other colour you stick in there would be mixed with yellow from the yellow glass insert located inside the headlight unit

Thanks for that!

And the yellow makes it easier for me - I wanted to put green in there to match my paint, so I will bung a couple of blue globes in there and I'm all set!

So did anyone figure out what the plugs might have been? :P

If you need a look at the plugs you're more than welcome to have a look at my car. I've had my Stagea in ACT for about 2 and a half years now in our fair capital, so give me a yell if you want any help with anything, I've done most of it.

Cheers mate :domokun: I might take you up on that, I'm a bit of a 300zx guru, but not quite up to speed on these yet.

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
