Hi All

Question for any R34 owners out there. A while ago I fitted the Aero/Altia/Whatever you call it front bumper to my R34. This one came with the Foglights, as pictured.

Before this my car didn't have them fitted. So the foglights aren't wired up to anything.

I've also procured the switch for them that goes in near the headlight level adjuster (near right knee) (2nd pic, on left).

I like to keep things as clean and as factory as possible. I'd prefer to avoid having to hack in a custom loom to make them work, especially if the stock loom already has everything needed already there. There is a "fog lamp" fuse in the engine bay fuse box, which is live (20A). It looks as though the car's standard wiring loom has most if not all of the wiring, so I'm hoping this could be a simple plug-and-play affair. However I can't locate any of the wiring under the dash to hook into.

Does anyone have a R34 with these lights factory fitted and functional who could shed some light on where everything connects? Namely the switch, the lights themselves, whether or not there's any relays, and how the car behaves (eg, do the lights only come on with headlights, does the fog switch turn parkers/headlights on as well, etc).

Furthermore would there be anyone in Sydney with these lights who would let me have a poke around their car to work out how these are wired in? As you all probably know, there aren't any complete wiring diagrams floating around on the internet for these cars, so I'm forever having to poke around with a multimeter..

I have scoured the internet as best I can but the info I'm after just isn't out there.

Anyone able to help?

Thanks!

    • Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.
    • Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.
    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
