I love the look of the LED tailights just makes the car look so much more modern! Only problem is they dont fit like a perfect fit you cant tell by the eye But if i walk up close to it and feel the gaps etc. They not as perfect as teh original. Is there anyway i can use orginal housing and put the leds in them? Anyone know of any places they will do this or be willing to try and do this?

post pictures of back and front of the stock ones and back and front of the aftermarket ones.

maybe some one can help.

Im around liverpool too ummm budd the problem is the aftermarket ones are in the car and i dont want to take them out cause i put this windscreen glue on them because i dont trust them incase they leak through thats why the sstock ones fit like a glove i dnt have to worry about leakiing issue, o other hand i will take them out if someone is willing to do them. Ill try find some pictures on the web . I can show you the stock ones easy enough?

Hmm they look allright in that pic you just posted. The thing i hate about them is what they look like during the day when turned off. Not a fan really.

Cant stand em meself look horrible an cheap I reckon

Have never found any aftermarket lights even D-Speed clear indicators

that fit as good as stock

sure you could just change the lamps in stockers to led would be brighter etc.

They look better then the stock ones!!! the stock ones make the car look much older. LED lights modernise the car more. On my silver GTR they look nicer then black gtr but thats my opinion. i cant find a close up picture of the LED tail light but i can get one of the stock??

They might look more modern, but in my opinion most modern things these days look cheap.

I think the original lights preserve the older looks about them and that's why in my opinion, they shouldn't be changed.

yeah I also wanted to get some for the 34 but just can't bring myself to do it, I like the old lights :D

also I would only get the nismo items as the copies look cheap and not good in daytime, whereas the nismo items looks stock during the day.

Like all mods, it comes down to whether you buy a good quality product.

I have to admit that I'm a fan of LED lights - that are done well.

I have a set on my R32GTR.

When taillights aren't on, they look stock.

When taillights light up, they modernise the look of the car. Sorry, it's a really bad pic, but should give you an idea of how they look during the day.

they are much better than your average china ones... what brand and where from?

the cheap chinese ones look shithouse, and are cheap quality, we've had a couple of guys come into the shop wondering why they're leaking water etc.

the homemade LED ones that JImports seems to have a re better.

I reckon if someone was to make them using the Hella reflective tubes for LED they'd look awesome.

i have seen a few skylines with LED tail lights and so far none of them have looked any good. sure on the 32 they may look modern, but they are something modern on an older car. it just stands out and looks out of place. it's like seeing a 60 year old woman with fake boobs. just doesn't look right.

    • Hi everyone, I've been wrestling with this for a while now and have been trying to find out the cause. For context, the turbos used are Garrett 2860 -5s, the BOV is a BNR32 HKS SSQV IV kit, the car is currently tuned to ~470 whp on 17.5 psi. The car drives normally, pulls well when it doesn't happen, and I can replicate it fairly easily. It does not sound like turbo shuffle or flutter. The engine has only a thousand or so miles and has had this behavior since it was completed. After my engine was built for my R32 GTR, I noticed that the car now sometimes makes an air discharge sound on what appears to be positive boost pressure that sounds really similar to a BOV. I had thought that it was a BOV issue but even when replacing it with a brand new unit, the sound persisted. It seems like it's coming from the passenger side but I may be mistaken. The closest scenario I could find was this post here https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/ started by @yakshii and it sounds very similar. As in, at partial throttle once I reach positive boost I begin to hear the same psh psh psh psh psh sound like air is leaking somewhere when I keep the throttle in the same position. It most commonly happens in 4th gear at around 3-3.5k RPM and 5th gear around 2.5-3k RPM, which seems to coincide with normal positive boost thresholds. It might be similar to what @Austrian GTR mentioned about his own HKS SSQV. Notable difference would be that when he applies more throttle when it happens, it stops. In my scenario if I apply more throttle during this repeated psh psh psh sound, the cadence of the sound gets faster and louder rather than stopping. If I lift off slightly and apply throttle again, it will normally stop and pull without issue. I've checked all rubber couplers to ensure that they are tight, but have not gotten the opportunity to properly do a pressurized boost leak test. If anyone has had similar experiences or thoughts on what might be the cause, I'd be very keen to hear them. I also have a video of it happening from inside the cabin, if that would make it easier to understand: https://youtu.be/2zqZXcx8jbA
    • I'd want at least $40K for mine, but thats easy to say cos I'm not selling anyway.
    • That's incorrect. We have 4 seasons, consisting of pre winter, winter, post winter and a small glimpse of hope!
