Problem With My S2 Conversion

Hey guys just finished my s1.5 > s2 r33 front end conversion.

The problem I'm having is with the foglights.

I went to the wreckers and bought the s2 indicator stalk with foggie switch. I've noticed it has an extra loom with a plug, I'm guessing these are meant to be for the fog lights.

I need to work out a way to connect the foggies to the stalk so that they can run off the stock switch on the stalk. Is this possible and has anyone done this before?

Cheers

Chris.

I have the same issue (S1.5 to S2 conversion)

Interested in hearing if there's an answer to this.

I am half temped to drill a hole in the back of the ashtray and manually wire up a toggle switch there.

Seems like a rough solution though :P

As you have the S2 indicator stalk (which has the rotary fog light ring switch) all you have to do is plug in the connection from the indicator stalk to the socket hidden under the steering column cover. Then simply install the new stalk where the old one is. In addition to this, you must get hold of the fog light relay and install it into the correct base in the relay box under the bonnet.

You should be able to use the stock indicator wiring and plugs which would do the front indicators and the fog lights, but not sure if the S1 plugs fit S2 lights. Hope this helps!

Hey mate thanks for the reply!

I already have the stalk installed and hooked up to the blinkers. However, I cant seem to find the socket you mentioned that I need to plug the connection into. Maybe s1 doesn't have it?

And is the relay box the small blck box located on the rear left hand side of the engine bay?

I have attached a picture from a mate's s1.5 R33 which shows you what plug you will be looking for. The car this is from did not have fog lights installed so it was just taped back as in the picture. Perhaps not all s1.5 had this. You have to remove the steering column cover to see this.

And is the relay box the small blck box located on the rear left hand side of the engine bay?

When looking under the bonnet, facing the car you will see a black box on the left hand side (drivers side) behind the washer bottle. Just unclip that and you will find relays in there. If you turn over the lid you should find a diagram of where each relay goes. Strangely the fog light relay was installed and is brown on this car even though there is no stalk switch. I'm sure you can find one from a wrecker.

If you don't have that plug near the steering wheel or a base for the fog light relay in the engine bay, I guess you will need to install a separate switch with its own relay and wiring to get the fog lights up and running. If you are not sure yourself about doing such a job, an auto electrician would be able to help you. They may be able to even use the stock stalk switch so you still keep that factory feel.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.

      I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA

      The video for the servicing and fuel filter change can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44 One of the main jobs I wanted to do before the car officially went on the road, was to remove the awful looking blue silicone hoses. There's nothing wrong with having coloured silicone hoses, but I realise as I'm getting older I prefer monotone engine bays with a splash of colour on the engine cover(s). I cover this in a lot more detail in the Youtube video, so unfortunately there's limited photos of the process. The intercooler, upper radiator, boost vacuum and upper breather hoses were all changed to black silicone with mikalor clamps. The only blue left is a blanking cap at the back of the inlet manifold and the GReddy pulleys (which will be replaced for stock when the cambelt gets replaced) While the intercooler pipes were off I gave them a quick clean/polish too A before photo I do have a replacement air filter on its way. Fuse box covers were painted blue, they're now satin black Another job on the list while the bumper was off, is to add some mesh https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737966256_99b28bfa30_c.jpg[/img] I was hoping to use some thin wire to secure it, but it seems I've misplaced it and the wire I had was too thick to twist easily. I ended up using cable ties for the time being https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131882_c2b7989dcc_c.jpg[/img] Was pleasant to see this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131627_8b2aab13b3_c.jpg[/img] The last thing to do was to fix the front grill and re-mesh that to match but I ran out of time The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FsF6tgizE&t=23s
