You thought wrong. Again. :nyaanyaa:

Road Rule 217 states that drivers must not use front or rear fog lights unless driving in fog or other hazardous weather conditions that cause reduced visibility.

Thats so frikin stupid.

i used to drive around in my sisters old v35 with only the fogs on at night.

a cop stopped me and said turn your headlights on.. but nothing about the fogs - hence my assumption..

i guess nowadays its not something of importance to target.

I reckon if the cops targeted fog lights at night instead of speeding, they'd make more money off Falcodore owners than they do off all speeding fines! :P

Oh yeah, and following a car with a rear fog light on (like the PITA Focus on Friday night) is quite an annoyance due to the retina burning red light. Silly dickhead copped a 5 minute eyeful of my "high intensity" highbeams at close range.

Fkn fog lights without fog is nearly as annoying as incoming 300C HIDs!

I "can't believe" you didn't know it was illegal Aaron...

for that exact reason i pulled mine out all together(which is probably also illegal) for the incase i flick it on.

lol i just didnt know..

lol aat the 300c HID's hahaha

Right hand stalk, rotate the middle portion three clicks away from you..? hardly an accidental movement :P Plus it lights up on your dash that you've done it. Ive kept mine in incase of tailgaters :whistling:

So, you get a light indication when the fogs are on? Mine just turn on but nothing special shows up on the dash.

Its pictogram time! :banana:

Standard lights on (same applies for one rotation forward of the right stalk, and also for press button fog lights).

What that means for the tail lights (inc. rear fog light)

If I turn the middle of my right stalk two clicks forward (its two, not 3 - my bad)

Suddenly, I look like Im braking !

And whilst we're here, my lighting options

Standard lights

One click forward of the middle section of the right stalk

Still on the same click forward of the right stalk + press the button to make my actual fog lights come on

I assumed everyone had the same lighting options? :mellow:

I thought rear fog light was part of the "cold pack" (heated mirrors/ rear fog...?)

I have front fog lights (no rear), that also double as high beams, but then again, mines a bit different!:whistling:

Right you are, so does nothing change between position 1 and 2 for the middle bit of the right stalk? Assuming your car has the same indicator stalk!

I'll have to double check, but I think I only have one position on my stalk for fog lights...this is getting way to phallic all this talk about stalks.

No Homo.:rofl2:

Diff dash/stalks/interior all together. Already proved a PITA once!

Thanks for the pics Duncan. Yours is different to mine and I think I've got the same as Alex. My middle bit on the right stalk only has 1 position (on/off).

With the fog light switch (see pic) in pos I (up) moving the stalk to on just brings on my headlights/parkers (same as using the normal headlight control). With it in pos II (down), moving the stalk gives me just fog lights. NB. I don't have the one bright rear fog light like you (cold pack?) so I have only rear parkers on, regardless of switch settings.

So my bottom switch only ever stays in pos II, and then I turn fogs on/off with the rotary stalk control. And there is no extra light on my dash to say the fogs are on, unlike yours which is pretty cool.

Your setup does seem more, ummm, complicated though - in a good way :thumbsup: .

Leon thats the standard aero light option switch. i have the same one and the relay next to the airbox.

yes cold pack got new indicator stalk, and a heater switch for the mirrors and windscreens next to our aero switch. i have that too :P

they will bolt in fine

why dont you just cut out the blanking bits you have in there now. might look ok!

Don't tell him that! :domokun:

How's he going to sell them to me if he goes & cuts holes in ' em!:rolleyes:

Keep and eye out for the surrounds, but it might even be an option if someone was willing to let their surrounds be used to make a mould?

Sure why not. I'm such a carbon addict I'd probably be happy to swap mine out for carbon fibre copies :P

    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
