Hi People!

This is my first post on the forum - as I am now a proud owner of a '97 RS4 stagea. There doesn't seem to be a heap of them here in the ACT, so if you see me on the road (silver - dual sunroofs) wave!

I just had a noob question to ask as well - I've just about figured out every little trait of the car, except when the fog lights were 'disabled' for compliance they just cut the plugs off, so of course I want to fix this and was just wondering if anyone knew what kind of plugs they might use? Or just easier to go to an auto electrician. I'm talking about the small yellow ones next to the main lights.

Anyway, thanks for providing such an excellent resource!

Cheers,

Groonsnout

I have only just bought my stag too and I know it has only been in Oz for less than 12 months, I actually have all the compliance papers.

So it has been complied recently however my yellow foggies are fully functional :P

I did ask this in another thread but I never really got an answer, is operating foglights in Australia illegal? I would take a stab at yes if yours were disabled in the comp process.

I spose the other question is do the cops actually pull you up for them? Has anyone been pulled up for using them on here? I have seen tons of silvias with their yellow lights on crusing around over the last few years.

In QLD Yellow is a reserved colour for Emergency Vehicles only, along with Red, Blue, Green and Flashing White. So technically yeah is is a defectable thing up here, yet I have used them, funnily enough in the fog, and passed a copper and he didnt look twice.

They sell yellow spotties for cars at supercheap and I see heaps of 4x4 with them and red spotties here in rocky all the time, guess the police up here are pretty lax about it.

can someone please put up a photo of the lights in question?

I have never seen any "fog" lights on mine, but if I knew where to look I would love to put some coloured globes in there myself

The foggies on S1's are the little yellow lights right next to the main headlights, on the insides of them. On your right stalk there should be a switch for it.

And the globes are clear, so any other colour you stick in there would be mixed with yellow from the yellow glass insert located inside the headlight unit

Thanks for that!

And the yellow makes it easier for me - I wanted to put green in there to match my paint, so I will bung a couple of blue globes in there and I'm all set!

So did anyone figure out what the plugs might have been? :P

If you need a look at the plugs you're more than welcome to have a look at my car. I've had my Stagea in ACT for about 2 and a half years now in our fair capital, so give me a yell if you want any help with anything, I've done most of it.

Cheers mate :domokun: I might take you up on that, I'm a bit of a 300zx guru, but not quite up to speed on these yet.

      You have the option to do this. Nobody but me ever did this (go slower, I mean) Everyone seems to fall victim to "This would be a great setup for you, but for me, I need a little more power..."

      Save yourself the headache of an alarm. Immobilizer on the signal side of the main EFI relays so it won't start is good enough. DIY killswitch is the same thing except instead of a nice passive system you need to remember to switch it on and off.

      Yeah, the advent of canbus was supposed to cut down on wiring weight, then some bright marketing wonk says "oh, look at all these wonderful tech gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some arsehole safety legislator says "oh, look at all the wonderful surveillance and tracking gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some dipshit young engineer who has grown up thinking that an extra 500000 lines of code is not a problem because storage is cheap these days says "oh look at all this wonderful shit I can do to one up those dipshit arsholes over at VW" and the Karens of the world all go "oh look at all these fancy things I can do on my screen (so long as I am not driving on a bumpy road wherein touch screens immediately become the single most stupid shit idea ever shoveled into a car) and my 19 zone airconditioning keeps my sweaty fat folds a bit less damp and the windows close themselves because I'm too fat and lazy to wind them up for myself and these reversing sensors would have been great if I'd paid attention to them instead of smashing them on the bollard while I was reversing and staring fixedly forward that day I went to pick up little Charlize from ballet" and the sweaty mongoloids who say "oh this wonderful collision avoidance technology with these 45 excellent radar antennae scattered across the front of my car mean I can tailgate like a methed up tradie at full speed with no fear because the car and the 35 airbags will protect me if it all goes wrong" ...... </shallistopranting?>

      There's a post from a member (can't recall who), went down the path of a twin scroll G30-660 and it's doing over 300kW+ AND comes on about the same as a high flow RB25DET turbo. Have your cake and eat it too in this case. TBH, if I had a 2nd chance of building my car again (i.e. someone gave me what I wanted for my shit box, but the deal was I had to re-build another R33 and keep the change) I would just pop in a stock NEO motor (with new seals, rod bearings, ARP studs, head gasket, sump, Nitto pump), get a smaller twin scroll turbo, modify the stock low mount (keep the divider in place), and make a solid 300kW on 98RON and call it a day.

      It's all the sound deadening, and extra shit piled into them, plus all the extra (even though it's thinner) material for crumple zones. I can't fathom in modern cars why they need canbus to the headlights, and why the headlights must be vin coded on some cars to the ECU, BCM, and security module! Especially when they claim it's for security, yet, the canbus at the headlights let's thieves steal the car in minutes, so even more cars are being stolen! The Mercedes Sprinter 907 vans. They're a huge van, but a "basic" van. Yet they have that many canbus networks, plus two Lin networks, AND an Ethernet network. Logging a single network alone of 8 byte data frames, and they will generate a 20mb log file in 5 minutes. That's one network, and I can't remember the exact amount, but there's over 10 full CAN2.0B networks in them. I'm not a fan of modern cars, oddly, more and more I hate DBW, and all the bullshittery the cars try and interfere with. But all that bullshittery adds weight, plus crazy regulations on crumple zones, plus, ever picked a modern seat up, half of them have like 4 electric motors in them and will weigh 30+kg each. Then all the motors for things like adjustable steering columns blah blah blah. And did I mention the sound deadening so you can even hear an ambulance right behind you even if you 7.2surround sound is off?
