I brought LED TAIL lights for my r32 GTR from JUST JAP in Kirrawee, SYDNEY. They dont fit on perfect! one side fits different to the other side and I CANT STAND IT. I played around with the lights so much that i eventually snapped the thread coming out of the lights AHHHHH!. Im willing to purchase another pair i just want to know what brand make them the best. These leds lights are JJR brand ??? Has anyone come up with this experience and please tell me how you fixed it. A place called Sports_lights in Melb are selling the LEds but i dont know if they are the same make. Could it be just the actuall pair i brought were defective? Because when i took it back they recon that they are aftermarket and they will never fit as good as new, I think thats bullshit ive seen heaps of aftermarket rear lights fit pretty much perfect. Can anyone out here give me advice from experince or word of mouth. THankss i feel like i just through $359 in the bin!

take it back and complain if it doesnt fit

shud be covered by warranty dude.

and also u go ta gtr, why u wanna ruin it wiht led chrome lights for? :D

I now snapped the bolt and the leds look nice its not chrome The lens is still red the only thing you see diff is the blinker is clear and the leds coming out of the red lense. Do you think they will return it if i snapped bolt trying to tighten it LOL Do nismo sell led lights cause i know they will make the best ones, i cant seem to find where to buy them from.

Pic was straight off yahoo japan.

If you talk to slidewize in the business traders section I think he can get them for you..

Yeh i have sent them an email problem is if they dont fit perfect its hard to return, How will you be making your own lol

What do you mean by that? :mellow:

I mean, I'm going to make up a set of boards, rip a pair of the old housings apart and fit them in there.

look here for a set of 33 lights done diy:

I'll be doing it a similar way, but giving the board design to a professional pcb manufacturer to knock out so that everything is identical.

His light use more led elements than the yahoo.jp pictures as well.

REallyyy? how much would you charge if you were to put my led lights inside the old housing? THats EXACTLY what im looking for i just dont know who will do it.

someone has taken second hand stock lights and then ripped them apart and put LEDs in them, so its gunna fit just like factory :mellow:

But i emailed Slidewize and he goes that they are aftermarket aswell and said nothing will fit as good as the NISSAN parts, so the lights he sells in japan are made out of china aswell, but he has never ha dcomplaints about them, i cant see all the lights fitting like shit. im just wondering i think it was a bad batch of JJR lights or something thbat i bought.

Worst timing ever!

I just ordered a pair of the JJR LED's a few days ago! Should be arriving tomorrow or tuesday, I'll let you know how they fit..

LOOL ay i want to talk to you about them please get back to me once you get them THAnKS!!!

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
