Ok so a long time ago I knew a bloke that had a fairly beaten up R33 coupe that used to drift. His car came from japan with a set of cool rear tail lights that when you apply the brakes instead of just lighting up the brake light it used to swirl in circles. It looked pretty trippy.

Anyways I have an RX7 S4 and I want to do the same sort of effect into my S5 tail lights which are the same dimentions as the R3 tail lights. My car is completely custom so this will add the finishing touches. I know its a bit ricey....but the car its self is going to be built very Race spec with very little rice. I just think it would look cool thats all.

never heard of them or seen em! sounds like a custom job to me, cops will love you if its a street car too

if you get em or find em, post up some pics(?) ha a video would be better.

JayCar has bulbs which falsh for the rear lights, but it is ilegal..

All new cars in Europe, have these. What happens is as you apply the brake the light turns on and stays solid for 5 seconds, after that, it starts to blinkg to warnt the guy behind you. UNLESS you jab the brakes, then they go straight to blinking. All the mercs, bmws and allike have these. The Fordt GT40 and allike have it too.

hey yeah, ive seen these, but the back of the light was chrome, and looked like it had a heap of little bulbs in it to make it look swirly.. i think i seen some on ebay as well. have a look

hey, im not sure if these one swirl hey.. ive only ever seen them once. the closest ive seen in a while are the ones on ebay :unsure:.. try www.nengun.com and see if they can order any since they deliver everything from japan :)

    • I also used Knox driveshafts when I the slip yoke T56 to the 3bolted TR6060 type. I believe I was one of his first jobs as it literally changed hands when I was there, started by the old owner and finished by the new. Everyone seemed pretty great about it. So wasn't shy/seemed pretty knowledgeable when dealing with weird custom people like me.
    • Just a reminder orange park was cool back in the day   and drifting the main circuit was even cooler   f**k I miss that car  
    • We used Knox Drive shafts years ago when we were doing gravel rally, good guy but I heard it had changed hands? He's got a lot of stuff and is miles cheaper than GJ and so on. He used to have a lathe setup with a MIG torch on the tool holder so he could get the uni welds just right, quite a clever guy. I just got a driveshaft done for my sequential installation and that was through Balancing Services Australia in Preston, they did the Gibson cars in the old days. New genuine CV's, billet yoke, new centre bearing and chome moly shaft was $2k.
    • Thanks for sharing that mate, I've got a couple of spares on the shelf but all the unis are tight....will give old mate a shout. BTW are you sure it wasn't just a $400 paint job? Any detail of what they replaced (cut/reweld?)
    • Yeah I saw that about the US Q50 recently, apparently it was shown to Inifiniti dealers (probably to help with their depression about the cars they can sell). Seemed like a really obvious step to me, the platforms are very similar in many ways. Even if there aren't many people who actually put the money up it should really help with image/reputation. What hasn't been clear anywhere if that is a V38 model of if they are just going to add the trans as an option in a new model year. What they did with the Z from 370z to "Z" is just weird so I'd be surprised if they released this as a V38. Great news for me to have an option; it is far from confirmed that I can get any decent track sessions through the auto so having a manual I can swap to is great.
