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.

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
