S1 had a driving light option.

The ones on the bottom are the factory option driving lights.

The switch is just on the inside of the headlight switch if your car is fitted with them ;)

how do you mean " inside of the headlight switch"?? any diagram would be helpful.

Pretty sure this was an option on early r33 gts-t. I've seen this on a couple of cars.

The switch is located down near the gear shift sorround. Where those little coin slot things are.

The cops can fine you for using them when its not foggy or raining about $90 i think.

Its like the one on the wiper stalk to activate the rear wiper, but on the indicator if that helps?

Yes the sets are the same size, yes you could swap them over but you will need all the wiring to go with it.

The switch is on the indicator stalk. Quite simple really. My car has them and is a series one. There is also a relay in the engine box. It is under the fuse box cover. Any thing else?

cheers Atreyu!!

i was gonna wire up a switch by the coin holders near the handbrake.

yeah a couple more questions:

- does the car beep when you leave you factory fog lights on after you turn off the car?

- and does the dash light up as well?

e.g. does the car behave like you have you normal beam on?

I find the fog lights on my SII very useful especially when driving at night, they give me a brighter short distance view not to mention she looks awfully sexy when cruising with the fog n park lights on :) turns many heads hehe...

and to verify, YES it is illigal to have them on in normal driving conditions... (NSW)

Cheers

yep, they are illegal here in NZ too.

although theres alot of cars with 4 lights driving around; 2 normal beam and 2 more lower down in the bumper like the r33. what would those be? ppl driving illegally or are those lower ones also dipped?

how hard is it to wire the new switch to the buzzer that warns you that you left the lights on?

i dont want to leave them on and drain the battery

      Potential MAP Reference Point

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Getting a decent signal from all 6 throats is a challenge. I don't know for sure, but I suspect that the stock balance tube is not ideal for it. I have done it on an ALFA 4 cylinder (about 35 years ago, so don't ask for too many details). We drilled 4x holes in the manifold runners, put in some fittings and ran hoses to a decent sized (I think it was about 20mm diameter) pipe that ran the length of the inlet manifold. So, it was quite a decent volume. There is a "tuning" balance to be found between the volume of the common plenum on such a thing and the diameter of the pipes running from it to the runners. You need the volume to be large enough to damp out the sharp spikes in pressure signal you get as each runner gets sucked on by its cylinder, but not so large that it becomes too slow to respond to actual changes in MAP. And you need the hoses to be small enough to transmit the signal quickly, but not so small that they delay the signal. You might have to have more than one go at it, if there isn't any actual success based wisdom to be had here. Hopefully there is. Anyway, I would not do it on only a couple of cylinders. I would also not care about "permanently modifying a part". Just bloody drill holes and make stuff better. There is nothing sacred about any GTR unless it is a genuine museum piece that you shouldn't be modifying at all anyway.

      R34 GTT front hood lip

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      The strange thing is this is a URAS front bumper (or clone of it). The bumper actually does not sit flush with the GTT hood - You need the addon to make the hood 'long' enough to reach the bumper. I have no idea why they didn't incorporate this piece into the bumper itself.. instead of sticking it to the hood instead.

      R34 GTT front hood lip

      Another thought on this OLD topic: When you paint your bonnet lip, leave a small unpainted back lip/line along the back of the lip, where it rests on the bumper. That way, the line in the back is much more prominent than the gaps in the front/under the lip - and it breaks the hood-to-bumper connection at the "correct" place, when comparing to a GTR. I'm gonna do this with mine this week, so stay tuned for pics!

      Potential MAP Reference Point

      By Radical_Goodspeed · Posted

      So I'm in the final stages of assembling my single turbo RB30/26 and had a question regarding MAP reference points.  I've seen several recommendations such as tapping the cylinder 2/3 ITB, tapping the intake manifold at cylinder 2/3, or using a point on IAC. First two are doable but require permanently modify part and the third is "out" as I plan to delete the IAC.  All that to say my question is can I used the "bleeder" in the center of the ballance tube as a MAP Reference? I'm running a catch can so I don't need it for the PCV system. My thought process is it "pulls" from all 6 cylinder, and it's between the ITB and the cylinders making it ideal for MAP reference according to what I can find. Thoughts?
