Hey guys,

Got an r34, have spent the last few hours searching with no results so I am creating a new topic.

Firstly, I love the look of all 4 taillights on my r34 lighting up. Is there any way i can rewire the lights so when the brakes are applied all 4 lights, light up?? I have seen this done before and would love a guide, or any help in how I can go about doing this.

Secondly, I Installed a new headunit two weeks ago, and then last week pulled the console out again, to re paint over the factory centre console paint. Both of these times i scratched the outter centre console pretty badly. (around the centre console) im sure you all know where I mean as looking through pictures of other 34's They all seem to be scratched. How do i go about fixing this?? Is there anyway I can retrim/paint/cover this?? what is everyones opinion on how to go about fixing this?

Thanks for reading,

Any help/opinions at all will be greatly appreciated.

Nathan.

as far as i can tell you cant fix the scratches, my only suggestion is to have it re-trimmed if it bothers you that badly, that or buy new trim pieces that are un-scratched, unfortunatly not a lot of options

What could it be retrimmed with? I'm not sure what the material actually is?

What do you think these pieces are worth in decent condition?

wouldnt have a clue, considered buying some and having a go at re-trimming them myself with a nice material in a colour to match the rest of the interior.

Try Nisswreck

Rush how could you retrim it considering its like a plastic??

Nuffsaid have you got any info on how to do it at all?

a materail/fabric glue spread evently over the surface should hold the material in place nicely, let it dry for a while and put it back in the car

I believe the plastic surround the whole area ,you can order it from Nissan , not sure on the price, i know Vic member Ashneel is looking into this exact thing as well, i have asked him to get me a price as well.

    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
