R34 Led Bootlid Brake Light?


Recommended Posts

it "seems" darker than OEM in those pics? i have my old set of lights lying around the garage (Qest are a full light swap like what you're thinking) so if you want to dry and get the real Nismo look, you can have a play with my prev set perhaps.

That's what i noticed as well with the Qest ones on the black backing, you can see the LED's much clearer when they're not on. From the cars i've seen with Nismo ones, this isn't really the case, so they must use a more natural backing colour. Red perhaps, but maybe even a grey or cardboard colour?

I just purchased a 2nd set of lights to either be a test set or for an exchange basis for anyone that wants to do it that way..

I will take a side by side photo to see for any difference in colour and if so I will look into different coloured perspex or mounting the led board further back into the recess of the housings to hide the visibility through the lens. Appreciate the comments too its given me something to look forward to, if you want to do something with your old lights shoot me a PM to discuss it.

Don't suppose you're interested in doing anything for R34 sedans? ;)

Alternatives are to get 'em from Japan for about $1000 :(

Never ended up getting my hands on a set of them :( so the centre brake light is still the only option I have, unless you go from drop-in bulbs...they're good as they light up quick and match the centre light LED speed, they're better RED also over stock.

    • For sure, bromance with common shit box interests.
    • People like Johnny Dose Bro might be laughing at my post because I accidentally added 100mm to my numbers. 350-355 is indeed the lower limit. 450 is off-road Skyline spec.
    • What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.
    • Aren't we already on one? SAU unforgettable bromance.
    • Easiest way to know is to break out the multimeter and measure it when cold, then measure all the resistances again once it gets hot enough to misfire. Both the original ignitor and the J Replace version. Factory service manual will have the spec for the terminal measurements.
