Mine don't either, found a couple plugs unplugged but made no difference. There is a switch in the car, so I'll have to find where the fuse goes or if there is anything else disconnected, plus I can't even tell if there are globes in there!

its the stalk. tell me who did the car and I can tell you how to fix the issue. if you have the I & II switch on the lower dash then it needs to be set to two for the lower set to work.

As Chris offered, go and see him, or at least look for where power might be available and when?

If there is none, you need to see if you can supply some... but I am sure if they are factory fitted, you need to set the switches correctly or there is a problem with it. Chris said the Stalk...

Isn't there wiring looms in the manuals from the G35 that will help?

As for not sure if there are globes installed, they will make a difference to whether they work or not!! :D

My pick if this is all too difficult is go and see Chris or at least chat to him.

This is a little off-topic, but I am a little confused by the number of headlights on my V35.

There are the normal headlights, which you turn on as per usual with any car, and of course there is the high beams, but there is a third selection which is a knob to the left of the headlight switch (towards the steering wheel), which if you turn it forwards towards the dash, causes another set of lights to come on. It gives extra light and is not as white/bright as with just the normal headlamps on.

I don't think they are fog lights, what are they and why are they there considering there is already a standard headlight switch and standard headlamps?

yes they are the fog lights that ALL V35 and M35s come with that are located in the main headlight unit. i think its the other filament of an H4 globe that the highbeam uses...

maclaren, you have driving lights (like myself) in the front bumper hence the I/II switch next to the height adjustment to select between the 'factory' fogs and the lower 'driving' lights.

Can't have high beem with HID so you need extra lights to go "high beem"

If you turn on your high beem, the lower set comes on at high beem aswell.

Right?

and yeah you can have them on at the same time without having high beem on. And a set of fog lights then you got 6 lights on crazy plus the parkers thats 8 WOW!

you CAN have them on at the same time?

do you mean both sets of fog lights and your headlights? because im pretty sure that switch controls a relay next to the airbox that switches between the 2 sets of foglights....

but if you mean, LO, HI and fog, then yes you can have them all on.

Chris once I have time to suss out my config I'll PM you the details, from what I can see the balast units are both there and the cabling was disconnected, plugging them in does nothing after I press the switch in my car (located under the boot release), could be fuse or missing globes, will let you know.

hi guys any luck with how to fix this issue? got my new V35 and my bumper fog lights dont work either

checked the lights and they seem intact, the balast for them is there and cables seem connected, i had a look at the stalk as per this link http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/post-a105580- but the plug is intact and connected

the fog fuse on the 3rd fusebox behind the battery is ok

when i flick the fog light switch the dash lights turn on as normal but no fog lights turn on either upper fogs or bumper fogs any idea where to look next

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By dawhitehonky · Posted

      I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy

      If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.

      Rapid-fire squeaking/creaking from rear suspension

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
