Hello all. I need help wiring up my r32 gtst for fog lights. I have a what I would assume to be a oem front fog light switch. The switch fit a male plug directly on the driver side lower instrument cluster. Is this a fog light switch? Also the front end wiring has 2 identical male plugs just under both front headlights. I would assume these to be the oem fog light wiring. I plugged the switch in and the fog lights and got no light. Maybe I’m missing a relay or fuse. Does anyone have any input on the subject. Thanks

That switch is not from a 32. The stock switch is up on the cluster surround. Check picture below for reference.

I’m pretty sure that’s the oem rear fog light switch. I’m 100 percent positive that the switch I have came from a 32.

I don't recall a spot where that switch would even fit? The GTS-t lower surround locations look different.

BOoStEr was on track with my ideas. With that being said does anyone know if the 32 has a fog light relay hidden anywhere? 

 

Looks like you've pulled that harness + plug from the lower left leg position? The OEM harness runs from the top right near the OEM plug... 

Full wiring documentation also inside the 32 service manual.

Yes left lower panel. Plugged right in. I’ll look in the manual. Thanks

Found in in the service manual, there appears to be no relay on the 7 pin switch. So I’m thinking either 1 of 2 things. 1) I’m missing the fuse or 2) I have the led wiring backwards. I’ll check out tomorrow.

So I’m trying to figure out what this light switch actually does. Does anyone know? Looks like it’s a 4 pin connector but 2 are blank. It’s not the “fog light switch” since that one has 7 pins per the service manual.

The only foglight switch I have ever seen in an R32 is the one on the binnacle between the rear demister and the headlight switch.

I've also never seen it do anything because I don't believe I've ever been within 20 feet of an R32 with foglights.

I have had two R32 GT-R's with different headlight configs. Current one has N1 headlights with integrated foglights the other had them mounted conveniently in front of the interwarmer. In both cases, controlled by the button on the cluster surround as per  @jmknights93  pic above.

Well this makes everything confusing then. Lol. Going to try and sort it out today.  

 

 

Ok guys I have solved the fog light issue. I had to plug in a connector to the upper right side cluster (between rear defrost and main Headlight switch). Fuse was already there. The connector was taped back(never used). Thanks for all the replies.

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
