Hi Guys,

As many of you would know, part of the ADR Compliancing is to remove the foglight and disable the foglight switch on the dash.

Has anyone ever bothered to get them working again?

If so how hard or easy is it to recommission?

Thanks,

Bob.

Unlikely that they bothered with seperate wiring....so if you pull the adm dash is there still plugs in place?

Does the ADM have the switches or a blank.

Hi Duncan,

You may not be aware but I bought a JDM a few weeks ago and I'm restoring it at the moment.

I wouldn't touch the ADM but I'm keen to get the fogs working on this new car.

Cheers,

Bob.

Ahh OK, now I understand. Makes more sense too

Well, I've seen it done 3 ways:

Unplug the switch in the dash

Unplug the wiring to the globe

Cut the power wire for the light.

Depending on the original compliancer's level of laziness it could be any. Certainly there is no "official" way to disable them, they just can't work after compliance.

I would start with the engine bay, simply because it is easiest. There will be 2 sets of wires going to the headlight, one for the main, one for the fog lights. Most likely the second is unplugged or cut.

Sorry I don't have my car handy here to check, it is in original JDM spec as it was never complied

Thanks mate, I appreciate the feedback.

I can add it to the 45,671,234 other things I want to do to it! :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

OK..... now I'm confused....................

The two outer lights are my parking lights, the centre projector style lights are the normal night lights, and the two inner lights are the high beams.

So...... which are the fog lights?

Thanks,

Bob. :blink: :blink: :blink: :blink: :blink:

Not many have them, but here's what the factory option ones look like;

This picture shows where they are mounted (although the lights in the picture are not the stock ones)

Ahhhhhhh the penny has just dropped!

I was looking at a car on Carpoint that must have had the OEM's fitted and I thought to myself how ugly they were! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I didn't realise they were the originals.

All's good.

Cheers guys.......

Bob.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
