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:

ive got a c34 and my fog light switch turns on my fog lights and my parkers/tail lights as i dont have a rear fog light so im guessing its suposed to be like that. its probably the same on the m35

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.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
