Would anybody be interested in these?

Not the genuine Nismo units, but made by someone who makes and sells these for a living and are very similar.

He gets used genuine R34 tail lights, then mods the LEDs into them. Complete plug and play, no need to play around with electronics.

It is the entire light assembly with LEDs built in, not just a kit.

$500

Note: do not compare these to the ones you find at carmate.com or on eBay, they are very different designs.

they look great ... but just wondering what are the differences between these and the one's just jap are selling?

Ah sweet.. they look very noice.

So does your mate make these from scratch? Or does he take existing R34 covers and insert the led's into them?

Oh right.. thanks for clearing that up mate.

Reason I asked was because I was going to do the mod myself using a few jaycar led's, suppose if you're not technically minded your mate's alternative would be pretty good aswell.

Yeah I was thinking the same, but its a huge task to get done properly and to get everything lined up right, not to mention the electronics involved. Big headache and Id prob stuff up my existing lights hahah

LOL yeah tell me about it. I'd be a bit hesitant myself on my original covers, i'd probably do it if i had a second set lying around the place.

I think he should offer a change-oever service as opposed to supplying them complete.

Finding used sets of R34 Tail lights will prove

A) expensive

B) difficult

$500 is far too much to do the conversion as I was actually looking at doing something like this with another SAU member. I would be fabricating a little jog to mount the LEDs in and then fitting that into the lamps.

You should ask him how much to fit the L.E.Ds to somebodies lights as I would certainly be interested.

BASS OUT

Note: $500 is not for a conversion, it is for the entire rear light assembly. The whole lights with LEDs in them. You can them maybe sell off your old rear lights.

Is $500 then too much for a complete set of modded lights? Id say youd be able to make some money back from the sale of the old lights (if anyone wants them)

Nuffsaid.

I understand that, but what I'm saying is that people aren't going to want to buy a set of tail-lights and then have to sell their own.

From a logistical point of view, it will be much easier for people to either do a changeover, or send and recieved their own lights back.

Just a suggestion to help you along thats all.

Ah I see I see Bass.

You're right though, I wonder how sellable the old lights are?

Stan: I have just bought the set and am thinking twice about actually using them (other half thinks they are ugly), that's why I am posting them here to see if people want to buy it. Still waiting for them to come through.

I don't think R34 Tail-Lights are that marketable you see. There aren't enough R34's around being knocked about, and when you think about it, 99% of the time people are replacing tail-lights is because somebody has run up their bum, and if that's the case, they would be getting brand new taillights though insurance.

Your mate might want to think about creating a kit, complete with laser cut mounts for the LEDs, including some detailed instructions and sell the kits to people so that they can do the fitting themselves.

Have all the electronic stuff done and fitted to the mounts and all the customer has to do is disassemble their existing lights, remove the globes and fit up the kit.

Easy.

I can see a big market for that, and if I wasn't having soo much trouble with my current Radiator Guide group buy, I'd do it myself!

The above that you mention I think is very difficult already.

I guess the gain in a complete set of lights is that it is a simple plug and play job. Unplug, take the covers off, transfer the covers, plug back in.

Its all sealed up nicely and there probably isnt a need to worry about water damage etc etc. Considering JJ are selling theirs for 350, maybe 500 is reasonable (i think?)

Back to the original question though? is there any interest in these?

Thanks again all!

PS: the guy is not a mate, just a seller I happened to stumble across.

I just had a chat with my supplier from overseas to see if this can be done... he charged around $600 3yrs ago - this was not for replacement units but merely as Bass has stated a "service"

$500 including the tail lights is a pretty good deal in my opinion.

I'm yet to cheer the guy up enough to do mine for "promotional purposes" :thumbsup:

    • Order for the 2025 model R35 GT-R were accepted from 3rd March and 26th August the last order rolled off the production line at the Tochigi plant. Concerning the R35 GT-R replacement, current Nissan CEO Ivan Espinosa said "Nothing has been decided about the GT-R at this time, but we are well aware that everyone is waiting. The GT-R will evolve and reappear in the future. Please be patient until that day comes." Nissan has a lot of issues with management and finances so take Espinosa's words with a big grain of salt. From what discussions I've had and read about here in Japan, not a lot of people are confident about Nissan's future, let alone the next GT-R. 
    • Thanks. We getting some parts along too so he will be solving the speed issue like next week so i will let you know what he came up with.   
    • 21 is explicitly the coils detected as the issue. Is it guaranteed the actual issue? No. Just the ECU thinks it is. When you say rattling, describe it better, get an audio clip as best you can if possible.
    • Yea got me coppers. Bad news is I just put them in and the car still has the light and shakes. I also noticed I hear like rattling coming from the exhaust piping right under me. Does 21 also have a possibility of being O2 sensors?   So, coil packs are good, the harness is good, the MAF is working, and obviously the spark plugs just replaced and working.
    • Make sure you drop the GTT base tune back in, and set your injectors again, this will remove anything playing up with it you may have removed. Possibly lean there as it's normally a fast transient going THROUGH atmospheric pressure, and a turbo motor would then quickly go richer as boost builds. The only worry you MIGHT have is ignition timing, as the DE is higher compression than the DET from memory. But again, you're not in boost, so the DE motor will be a lot more forgiving at atmospheric.   Get Murray, Kinkstahs, and Johnny's input on tuning haltechs, those guys have played with tuning enough in the past to be able to help now you're past the trouble shooting stage of the MAP issue
