ok i want to put some globes into the standard bars fog lights where there is none at the moment .. there definitely is a hole there .. i dont' understand why they would put a hole there and not put any lights?? maybe because its just too hard to get down there?? anyways just wondering how u wire up the lights so that they turn on when the parkers turn on, and also how do i wire up neons which my cousin gave me so that it also turns on at the same time??

thanks ..

hippy,

i suggest you wire the lights up to the fog light switch that is already there (well there is one opn the r32s anyway) as it has its own fuse and too much current will not be an issue

if u wire it up to the parkers, it may (depending on the power rating of the globe) either blow the fuse or heat up the wires if it draws too much current

simply mount the lights, run a wire from the plug to the light then from the light back to the plug

btw... i just did this last weekend as i had no fog lights but a switch in the dash and plugs doing nothing in the engins bay!

Waz.

just wire them directly to the parker light wires. thats what i did when i had spotlights on, they were 35 watt H3 bulbs, no problems. but i suggest keep it low wattage, maybe even just small bulbs or LEDS in there cos u might blow a fuse or fry some wiring. I think im also gonna do that, put some lights in that empty area. It would look good with like blue LED's or sumthing! and yes u can get defected for having blue lights, i got fined for having blue lights in my car!

they were blue leds pointing outside the car, much like windscreen washer LEDS (which are illegal if blue) yeah he pulled me over for speeding then said those lights cannot be seen from the outside cos ppl might think ur a poilce vehilce! so i just paid the fine and took the lights off. However i still have blue lights everywhere ;) my mates got a 4wd and has a blue strobe light he pretends to pull ppl over but drive off when the stop hehe :D u can have blue lights in the car man just make sure they arent visible from outside like 2 m away

I hooked a set of 55w driving lights into the factory fog light leads on my 32, and the factory switch had no worries with it at all, only problem is that as they are larger than the wattage of the low beam lights, they have to turn off when the headlights are dipped, so am in the process of installing another switch and relay to give high beam switching. and it is a B*** pain in the a&** trying to find ANY particular wire under the dash in these damn things... jeez!

and Your right CMS Drifter, you can have any coloured light you like, as long as you can't see the source (ie globe, LED) from outside the car. Mate got pulled over about a week ago for a blue neon under his RX7, looked cool, even after moving it to a "safer" location...

scotty,

not sure about the r33 as i don't have one! my switch is above the instrument cluster on the border that surrounds the cluster.

it has the fuse located in the fuse area under the dash - look to see if u have a fuse for it and work back to see if there is a switch maybe

Waz.

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
