which brings me to my next question - how would i go about wiring this to be used?

the wiring was cut and i have a custom front bar - so i don't have the orginal lights..

i hooked up the indicators no problem at all - standard wiring - but now i have no idea what i'm doing again..

one wire? hook it up to where? and then what? lol - this is killing me..

no dont use it

it goes somewhere else before it gets to the dash as there would normally be a relay for the oem fog lights. if you want fog lights just buy a narva kit with the relay and all and then use the instructions for wiring...

more than likely the relay will be in the engine bay along with all the other relays

test the blue wire for +ve power when you incar switch is on ... if you have power then the black is a common earth and just tap into that

yes but the thing is there is a special switch that is normally on the right of the steering colum that is for the fog lights. if your car has fog lights from the factory then the switch is there, if not then the wire should still be there just no switch, that is the trigger for the relay. and if you dont have factory fog lights, then there wont be a relay either...

ok then Frozenwaffles has given you the info you need.

if your car isnt a S2 that had fog lights - then you will need to setup a relay to supply power to what ever you are lighting up, trigger supplied from the new stalk that you will have to install and wire to the relay .

have fun :P

ok - i'll start from the beginning.. pretend i'm an idiot.. i have one wire - only one.. that's probably the part that's throwing me off the most.. what hooks up to where?

honestly - this stuff normally clicks.. but it doesn't matter how i work this in my head.. i just can't figure it out.. which is why i'm asking i guess.. :|

on that plug down in the engine bay, you have a positive (switched wire) for each of the lights being indicator and fog (the fog is the thikler one due to the increased current) and then a common ground or negative. very simple really. if you dont know this then take your car to an auto electrician...

maybe my issue is with the switch :|

here's an image of the stalks i have - one with the fog switch - the other without..

ind-stalk.png

now - there's that extra plug (presumably to the fog lights switch) - where does that connect?

there should be a mating plug somewhere under the dash if you are using the factory loom and relay position...

it will probably be tied up...not just loose hanging around.

if you arnt using the factory wires and all you want to do use the switch, you will need to use a mutimeter to find out how the switch works and which wires are 'switched' if that makes sense...well it makes sense, more if you can understand...:D

anyway i hope you are going well and good luck...things sound a little shakey but im sure you'll work it all out.

just be careful....

my only Q from here is about that mating plug..

my car didn't come with the fog light switch on the stalk - i bought that from this forum and attached it.. so will the mating plug be there?

i have changed absolutely nothing else.. all factory (except the end plugs of course which were already cut)

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
