Hey Fellow Wagoneers,

I thought i might design & make a set of skyline tail lights to fit the stagea. I'll use the standard skyline lenses, but make up a custom panel so they fit in where the tail light go now. Below is a very bad representation of what i'd like to do & if anyone is good at photoshop you could give me a better idea.

so what do you all think?

If they come out really well, i'll start making some more for sale if anyones interested.

Regards,

Jeff

I'm guessing if it was properly executed, then the look of Skyline lights on a Stagea could be nice.

I guess we'll have to see if anyone's good enough (and keen enough) to do a PhotoChop and we can go from there...

Having looked into this quiet a bit (as just did custom lights on my "project car" ... making a v2 as we speak) ... you'd have to use either 33 or 32 lights.

I've measured up 34 lights and the outta area of the stagea lights are too small to fit anything bigger than the 33. Even then they'll need to be placed so they sit slightly out of the normal light area (not flush to standard stagea rear lights). You could use 34 lights, but they're not going to sit well (as in flush with sides of car) on the car and stick out a bit

The inners are a piece of cake to do.

My only other concern using 33/32 lights is reverse/indicators, but nothing a bit of bog, fibreglass & some extended wiring couldn't fix l guess.

Somethign like this l was going to do (inc french boxing the no. plate down lower) .... but l cbf'd and would rather spend the time and energy on my other car. But if u do do it def. post up pics.

if you want a skyline wagon that bad... start with a skyline instead of a volvo :D

j/k

maybe the Option/Trial built R33 GTR wagon might give some inspiration. It resurfaced at this year's autosalon repainted white (used to be bayside blueish when it was made about 4 or 5 years ago).

Personaly I think the idea is great ...not using the round tail lights was something that the Nissan boys got wrong when they desighned the Stagea in my opinion. While most focus is on the the front, the rear has been sadly neglected...I still remember the first r33 I ever saw in the flesh my first view was the rear and its one of the cars best points..but then I have always been an ass man!....if you can make em I want em!

Scott.

Funny, i adore the ass of the stagea more then the front

but the longer and longer i own it, i prefer it exactly the way it is, as stock as it is. some wheels and maybe MAYBE a front bar...

Testify Brother! Can I get an AMEN! :P

Skyline lights on a stagea looks gay with aids. And I'm not just saying that to make fun of you guys... seriously, it looks so out of place. For starters the rear seems a lot wider than an R34, which means it looks misproportioned.

    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
    • Ok so i will NEED to have this sensor anyway even with Nistune (or standalone ECU) https://justjap.com/products/genuine-nissan-boost-pressure-sensor-evap-control-system-fits-nissan-r34-skyline-c34-nm35-stagea-pnt30-x-trail-rb25det-vq25det-sr20vet?currency=AUD&srsltid=AfmBOoqfxX48bW9bEwH62orcNhtBfp7ekAL0C9Ca89ySFGUiBzXfXeze Is this the correct one? And this is only thing i need? No other "things" connected to the sensor or something? I do have the wiring.
