Hey Guys,

Pulled apart my boot stuff today in an effort to connect my 3rd brake light.

After taking out the 3rd brake light, it (obviously) wasn't connected.

What confuses me though, is i couldn't see anywhere where the 2 PIN connector should go?

Does anyone know if i can get both the spoiler AND the 3rd brake light going?

I dun see why there isn't a connector for it?

Can anyone who doesn't have a spoiler take a photo and check. The 3rd brake light just slides back and out?

I'd really appreciate it! :banana:

Big ups! :banana::D

My bad, probably should have explained that!

My car came with an OEM spoiler which works fine right now, im just trying to get both the spoiler AND 3rd brake light on when i tape the brake, rather than it being just the spoiler?

thanks for the reply =)

maybe they're not suppose to work together, as if you got the 3rd brake spoiler then why would you need the 3rd brake light behind the rear windscreen is for? it's probably not that visible from behind.

otherwise you can just get a cable and tap it to where the spoiler cable is... positive usually is the one with a red line or black line on the wire. if in doubt use a multimeter.

i really won't have time to pull my boot apart, as it's gonna be a very busy for me as my mother in law, grand ma in law and auntie in law are all visiting...

im prett sure legally the one on the wing should be the only one connected, probably why not the windscreen one has been disconnected. if it wasnt done during compliance, a similar law may apply in Japan

i think the regulation is there for a reason e.g. to prevent anyone attaching 50 set of brake lights like light bulbs around a moulan rouge dancer's dressing room mirror.

i'd be pissed driving behind such car with hundreds set of brake lights blinding my eyes every time it brakes.

so i think the maximum is three. that's why there's no term for 4th brake lights.

mine was not connected when i got my car, i pulled the cover at the back (rear windscreen brakes)n fount out it wasn't connected! (cable was tucked in)first i was hesitated to connect coz i was thingkin maybe too much load for my brake fuse but decided to connect wit my finger cross... now its working, no problem! i got four brake lights working! and so far no complain from cops or anybody.

Edwin, thats perfect, just what i wanted to hear =)

What was the trick to get the back cover off(rear window)? I see two small cap covers, but i can't seem to pop them off? Any hints?

    • Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!
    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
