I had this problem too, does it work intermittently by any chance? Or does not work at all?

If it doesnt work at all, it may simply be disconnected during compliance.

Slide it back towards you, lift it up, fish around for the cable and re-connect.

It tends to be dicky, the cable, so it will probably be about 80%

my car came with spoiler (sedan) with the brake light on that. I also had the brake light inside the rear windscreen which was disconnected. when i took off my spoiler i had to reconnect the plug for the inside one to work.

dunno if that info helps.

this week has been a rough week for me, ive got the similar story with the 3rd light as sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt and other times its not as bright.

while driving on a 60km rd on tuesday in morning still kinda dark a huge chunk of brick was left right in the middle of the rd by construction builders, lowered v35 going 60km/hr over it, broke something underneath and i need to get it repaired as its hanging loose on the bottom.

Ouch! I hope there wasn't too much damage...

On another note...can anyone enlighten me why in the world compliance would need to disconnect 3rd brake lights???? Isn't a 3rd brake light compulsory nowadays? I can understand d/c the xenons...but the 3rd brake light...wtf???

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By sonicii · Posted

      How much have you lowered?  I had 350Z springs in the rear and was able to pull the camber into factory spec with the factory arms on the rear, obviously the front ran negative camber as it isn't adjustable, but rotating the wheels regularly evened out the wear.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Either the installer needs to come back, you need an auto electrician, or you need to learn automotive electricals yourself.   First step Id look at is where that big thing came out of, is there still things unplugged at that location? Maybe they just forgot to put a relay in or something?

      Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.

      I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want.

      R33 GTST Axles

      Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue.
