Rear Park Lights

Recommended Posts

Hey all,

I have recently purchased a 4DR R34 skylines GTT.

However I have just noticed that the inner rear lights are not working, they work when applying brake however, in normal operation only the outer lights light up.

I assume all 4 lights should all work when headlights turned on..?!

The inner rear lights have two globes (not double filament), the braking globe works fine, however tried replacing the 2nd globe on both inner lights, but no go.

I was not really able to read the inside fuse panel, however checked all fuses and there did not seem to be any blown ones, so not sure what else to check??

Anyone have any ideas?

Anyone know where I can find an English diagram to the fuse panel?

Thanks in advance.

As you have stated these lights are the brake lights that only come on when the brakes are applied. The outside two lights are the rear parkers - this is an ADR requirement to differentiate the parkers from the brake lights.

The lights are working as designed.

Hi Thanks for the reply, however the inner lights themselves have two globes, why would the inner lights have two globes? if they are simply for braking ?

Anyone else have a R34 4 Door that can confirm that the inner lights are simply for braking?

For anyones interest, the R34 4 Door, all four tail lights are supposed to be on, and again both when braking.

I added new twin-filamanet (previously were single) globes into the top globe socket of my inner tail lgihts, and it is now all working.

    • Tryna decide if I should get a skirt coating on my cp 2618 forged pistons that im about to order. Anyone have first hand experience with a forged RB with coated or non coated piston skirts? Is it worth it and does it make much difference? And for people who went with 2618 pistons with no skirt coating how long has your engine lasted? The engine is an rb25/30 and main concern is  that It will be a daily car and will probably see a fair bit of short distance driving, have been told by my machine shop and my tuner that generally a forged engine lasts around 40,000kms before needing a rebuild. Would a skirt coating make much of a difference? cheers 
    • From now on read it as minus 5 and minus 7 instead of dash, and you're correct...
    • Opened up the cluster to inspect the gauge itself for signs of damage and it looks good. Got curious since that needle doesn't go back to a "neutral" position by itself (it stays in the same position when ignition is off. so I manually moved it to 1/2. Connected it back, turned on the ignition and the needle started moving up! Not sure what's up with that but before that the needle was way down below empty like fully south west. There's always a chance that the needle moved slightly the first time I tried and I didn't notice because of how slowly it moves and how far it was from the markings. I don't know if the current needle position is accurate so I'll fill it up and see where that brings it. I guess I'll try to adjust it manually if it doesn't get to F. Looks like the needle position is relative and not absolute? Thanks all for your help and patience!
