Hey guys. Just bought my staega and test drove it in the day time and didn't think about checking the lights. Found out that the fog lights i have, have had their wires cut and the fog ligts are intregated into the headlights. It this common and how do i go about wiring up the foggies in my front bar. I have added a pic so you guys can see the foggies.

check if the original wiring is still behind your front bar, if not you will need to find the wiring from the fog light switch and just run some wiores from there or just get a relay and hook it through that to prevent any mass drain on the original wiring.

what do you mean by they are integrated into the headlights?

ok had the same problem with mine.

you should find a switch down next to the headlight heigh adjustment, it will be labelled 'I' and 'II'. 'I' will select the 'fog' lights integrated into the main headlight, 'II' will select the ones down in the bumper.

behind the headlight/indicator stalk is a small cut-out that youll need to remove, they unlplug (hopefully not cut) this for compliance. plug it back in.

in the bumper, mine was only disconnected, i replaced the lights and plugged them back in and they worked.

it was the bit behind the switch that stuffed me up.

with yours, if they have cut the wires, just replace them. there is a harness that goes from the bumber fog lights towards the drivers side into the main engine harness. check for any cuts and replace wires.

if youre in sydney and want to compare to mine, ill be taking my front bar off this week to install an FMIC. or i or anyone probably wouldnt mind having a look at your car. there are a few aero selections kicking around now :devil:

Ok i will have a go at it tomorrow. Nah mate in in brisbane which sucks. I had a quick look yesterday and it looks like there is no wires hanging down as i was trying to find them to resolder them back on. There isnt alot of room in the frone engine bay/bumper so having biggish hands doent help but i will follow your advice and let you know how i go.

its the same on most nissans, if not all japanese cars.

Josh, remove the front bumper and have a look in there. they might have taped them up out of the way. its about a 15-20 min job to remove it. the hardest part is taking the 10 or 12 bolts out from under the bumper, its a pain in the ass lol

do you know who did the compliance on your car? just ring them and ask what they did and they might be willing to tell you how to recitify it.

maybe another M35 owner in brisbane can help you out if you get stuck?

ohh also Josh, there is a relay in the engine bay attatched to a bracket on the airbox mount. they are unique to aero selections and is wired to the switch i was telling you about to select the different fog lights

also check behind that switch to the right of the steering wheel, they may have pulled the plug out of the back of it.

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

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

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
