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?

Cheers

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.

is there a difference between the series 1 and 2 stalk? my series 1 has the fog light switch on the stalk?

or are you talking about the going from the switch on the center console to the switch on the stalk

err my s1.5 didn't come with a switch on the stalk so I put in a s2 stalk.

    • Haha luckily we don't have emissions, inspections, or any laws against power adders here. They only thing they somewhat keep an eye out for are ridiculously loud exhausts. 
    • Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild. 
    • If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.
    • Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.
    • Hey everyone! Im so grateful to be apart of this community and ill do my best to be apart of this. Firstly, i'm not disclosing my real name due to in real life circumstances surrounding my privacy and public image (sorry lol) Secondly, The only thing personal I am willing to share is that I'm from Sydney and a descendant of one of Sydneys largest mortgage firms. I got gifted my first ever car, a 2022 Porsche Cayenne and I love it to death. Ive been driving it for about 5 or 6 months now and honestly Im so grateful for my parents for gifting me this vehicle. However recently I've been working my ass off to afford my second car (which I need help deciding soooooo community help me out please?). Once decided, im planning to try modify it myself. Recent I've been thinking about getting a Skyline, particularly a 25GT or GT-V, yes I know overrated as hell, but I'm also considering a Chaser which I recently came to love. However my dream is to one day own a 180SX (So hard to find clean versions and im not really into importing).  Lastly before I send this off, I want to apologize if I sound tacky or pretentious. I try not to and want to genuinely learn from everyone and anyone. (Im no expert in this area) Thanks for reading!
