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.

    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
    • Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
