Hi all

Does anyone know how to get all 4 rear lights lit up when braking?

I heard it's possible, however the brake light bulbs are easily blown if not done correctly, especially if the parking lights are on.

Is there a guide on how to do this properly?

Thanks

getting my dad to do this for me as he loves these kinda things.

from what i know what you will need is 2 double filament globes (same as you normal brake light but a size smaller so it fists the hole) and an inline fuse and globe holder.

locate which wire is the brake line wire splice into it it and run the wires to the right fittings int he new globe holder thing and presto.

its easy to do and kinda fiddley thats why my dads doing it for me lol but ye if no one has done this by next sunday ill have mine done by then and will put up a detailed instruction.

checked mine last night and all four tails brighten up when i brake, plus the small light top of boot lights up.

is that a standard thing on gtt? or is it gtt 4 door or has mine been modified i wonder??? I know i didnt do it... Pic below any help???

I think all 4 door has 4 lighting up cause that's the first thing I notice when I see a 4 door. Haven't seen any 2 door with 4 lighting up so far. Loved to do it to mine.. I thought it was just splicing the smaller light wire and join it to the main brake wire. I mean the ground wire of those 2.

All four stay lit as in when you hit the brakes?

It'd be interesting to see if there are any noticable changes to the wiring.

Wouldn't happen to have time to take some pics would you? :)

as in the two smaller ones stay lit.. but don't go bright when i brake like the big ones..

i only noticed this when i replaced with just jap LED ones.. but am unsure if they were always like it.. i'm sure i could take a pic of the wires

Oh I think what you're talking about is the normal setup.

Both the outer and inner circles are lit when you have your lights on.. but when you hit the brakes, only the outer ones will go brighter.

I'm hoping to wire it so that even when I don't have the parkers on and I hit the brakes, all four will light up.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
