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?

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.

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.

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.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.

      Looking for someone with a R34 front bar

      Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
