I'm looking to replace my tail lights with the cooktop/ hot plate tail lights.i'm thinkin there must be importers out there who visit wrecking yards for parts. Is this so and does anyone know which company may do this?

Should be about $130 + shipping and commission

Thanks very muchly f/m, getting info like this from the likes of yourself is what makes this site sooo good. I'm hooked on the idea of these lights and will pursue this avenue. Excuse my ignorance but how do I get hold of Laurence. PM is.....???? sorry is he someone on this site?

lol all good, Laurence is one the members on the forum and a resident in japan who buys gear of yahoo auctions for people. PM = private message, which you'll be taken to if you click the link on "PM Laurence". Hope that helps :blink:

Those estimates I posted are very rough and will vary with exchange rate, but they should be in that ballpark.

Im pretty sure that the first link for Yahoo Japan is an auction for headlight surrounds.

Those tail-lights on ebay are out of control. Up to $610 already. Bloody hell.

That's madness! some people must really hate, loath and despise the choc block tail lights. Sure enough they aint sexy, but I can think of plenty better ways to spend that sort of money. For a week or 2 you'd wanna be driving behind your car admiring them and convincing yourself they were worth the small fortune you paid for them, Perhaps they'll increase the value of the car, who knows?

Still haven't heard from Laurence,perhaps he saw those lights on ebay and is flat out rumaging through wreckers yards or doing night raids on street parked C210's, LOL.

    • 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).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
