the thing on ur bumper is a like a parking antenna, it pops up to let u gauge where ur bumper is when parking. few imports came with them as an option in Japan. First time i've seen one on a 34 though. As for the attachments on the fender, at a guess they might be a parker light of some sort...japanese rice maybe :wave:

I concur with n15mo on the parking guide/antenna thing. I have only seen that once before on a 34. I don't have it on mine tho. I don't have a clue to those other attachments on your fenders.

You don't have xenons either so thats one less thing to have changed come compliance time.

I think it could be headlight wash's, lots of the newer cars out here have em.. and considering i've never heard of a gts-4 sedan b4 it could possibly be.

I may stand to be corrected on the 'non-xenon' lights thing (once it lands here) but of all the 34 light assemblies I've seen with that parker design have been the normal old halogen setup.

a xenon headlight assembly is different as in each bulb i.e. high, driving, parker is en-cased/enclosed from each other, if that makes any sense to you.

In the end I can tell just by looking at them

Here's a pic of my car (still waiting for lip spoiler) with the aerial up, funny cos i had always thought it was an aerial for the sat/nav set up that my car has. Looks cool at night as there is a blue light on top which illuminates when you turn your lights on.

I believe that they are factory style driving lights on the bumper. Can anyone confirm this?

Note my car has Xenon headlights with auto setting (turn on by themselves at night).

I disagree, they look like Xenons to me, but i too can be wrong.

Remove Xenon b4 taking car to compliance, then refit them after compliance, as they are a much better headlight. :(

      To back this up, I'm always looking on the outside, seeing the level, and then opening it up anyway, as I'm worried the level I've looked at, is more so a scunge line. Then you end up dipping your damn finger in it too depending on the type of tank you're looking at just to make sure I'm not going insane.   PS, Mark, polish up the none moroso one a bit and then give it a clear coat. The Moroso one looks to be way shiner (not mirror polished, just shinier) and it'll still look weird with the two different alloys beside each other. Either that, or Id probably paint them a flat black...

      Yes, overthinking. Many PS reserviors are completely opaque. Our Skyline ones, for example. Have to remove lid, peak inside, swirl the dipstick, try to remember how to read it, etc etc. Normal. Radiator overflows are often sufficiently opaque and scunged up that you can't see the true level inside anyway, and have to open and have a peak. Besides which, I replaced the (massively expensive, even back then) plastic overflow in my Alfa GTV, back in the '90s with a stainless one that I had a good fabricator make up to be dimensionally same-same, that looks remarkably similar to the Bogan's Moroso one above, and I never suffered any particular paranoia that I didn't know how much coolant was in it.
