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.

    • Mark, please add to your shopping list a cask of wine.       For when the Hills Hoist is installed...
    • Cheers for the tips, I'll go with 50 mm around the side, I'm used to digging with hand tools, my prior occupation had me going well with hand tools and there's nothing that a breaker bar and a pair of gloves to protect my delicate hands can't fix, hopefully...  As my time now is free, if it takes a week to excavate that's not a issue
    • That's a pretty big job card assuming you're not planning on any machinery. I hope your dirt/rock ratio is not like ours, hand digging up here is very hard work I use the Mitre 10 in Sloane St or Gehl's Nursery where I can rather than Bunnings, but for bulk material everything (Goulburn Sand and Soil, Rocky Hill Sand and Soil) and is owned by Divalls (as is about 80% of town) so no point shopping around. Let me know if you need to borrow a ute or box trailer. BTW we also went with 7mm blue metal around the house, mostly for fire but also termites. You really need compacted road base under it then no more than about 50mm of rocks because otherwise they shift too much under foot. We also put corten edging to stop it spreading outside its area over time.
    • I'm not certain about the fuel hat connectors (noting, I DID have to replace the hat in my Stagea with one of these pumps) However, you 100% do need to do a properly sized relay mod, the factory wiring is definitely too small for these pumps.
