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?

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
