hey guys,

Been wanting to get the Nismo LED tail lights for the gtr, but after looking at the prices and not having much luck finding a used set on yahoo japan i was just wondering if there are any other alternatives?

Reason for wanting nismo is that it still look close to stock/oem without looking cheap or tacky like some of the china made ones floating on ebay. Is there an exact replica of the nismo item?

Please feel free to post what you currently have or any brands that might be worth looking into.

Thanks.

I found one on importmonster recently was "only" $650 but with all the shipping and other fees came to $1100 :rofl:

Shame no one makes a copy of the Nismo LEDs because as you said, they look stock unlit and don't look so tacky.

sure looks like it? Someone selling them? If you dont want them can you pm me the link :)

See the difference between the East Bears or Just jap ones is the Amber bit. If only they made the indicator bit from clear to amber would look sweet.

Is there a tinting spray to make it look amber without looking too tacky?

don't think the ones above are the Nismo LEDs but a copy of some sort called "Akira Makoto".. I think they're just BNR34 tail lights with LEDs inserted ..which is why they look a bit funny and not as good as the Nismos...

Ok did quite a bit of research on the ones above and they're 100% NOT Nismo ...just genuine BNR34 tail lights converted to LED made to look similar to the Nismo pattern. The seller makes a pair about once a month and sells them on Japanese Yahoo auctions and he's confirmed in one of the previous sales (questions from potential buyers) that the item is NOT Nismo. http://page5.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/e92629491

Pretty cheap if you're in Japan and may be worthwhile considering the price of the genuine Nismos ... but not worth importing to Australia IMO as it comes to about $500-600 at least with all the fees. Might be easier/cheaper to get someone to make this sort of conversion locally...

yeah doesn't look too bad but I doubt they would deliver to Australia so you might have to get it through an import service like importmonster so the price would probably blow out to $700-800 :blink:

Another thing that looks a bit worrying is the fact they replaced the turn signal lamps with LEDs also .. from what I've read LEDs aren't suited for turning signals.

If you do get it let us know how you go and post up some pics :)

Why do you mean LED's aren't suited to indicators? As long as they are bright enough to see and you replace the flasher can then you are sweet!

Because the leds use less power the turn signal relay will mistakenly asume that there is a light out..

This isn't entirely accurate. LEDs have less resistance in a circuit. In old school cars this is required as the indicator circuit is expecting a particular impedance to operate at its normal blinking speed. If you reduce the resistance (and thereby impedance of the circuit) the car will simply adjust.

The most common way around this is to introduce a physical resistor right before the LEDs. This bumps up the resistance of the circuit and the car/circuit is none the wiser.

If you need more info I'm sure someone will have done this already, have a quick search to see what's out there. :)

      By oHBoy. · Posted

      I had 3 counts over the last couple of weeks once where i got stranded at a jdm paint yard booking in some work. 2nd time was moving the car into the drive way for the inspection and the 3rd was during the inspection for the co2 leak test. Fix: 1st, car off for a hour and half disconnected battery 10mins 4th try car started 2nd, 5th try started 3rd, countless time starting disconnected battery dude was under the hood listening to the starting sequence fuel pump ect.

      This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By suko · Posted

      The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.

      Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
