Hey guys,

Just wondering what early and late model hot plate tail lights go for these days. I'll be in the market for some soon to replace the faded S1 hotplates on my DR.

Like can excellent condition S2 lights still go for $400 like I've heard and read. Is 200-250 fair for good condition ones?

there are 3 stlyes for hotplates

red S1, grey S1, and clear S2

Can get ones in attached pic or similar for around $250 without too much hassle.

Thing is I really prefer the early model ones. They seem much harder to come by in good condition.

Where you get this startling piece of information from?

You found this on the back of your Corn Flakes packet I presume????????????

And the S1 all over red that shine hot plate are worth diddly squat, yet the S2's are worth whatever someone is prepared to pay for them.

I recently bought a pair of S2's in from Japan for a person that shall remain nameless and they cost me about $300 delivered and they were in mint condition.

Be aware that the S2 lights, don't fit straight up into an S1 like you have Jarryd, they fit in the same hole, but the wiring connections are different.

Other than what you currently have (all red) I'm sure you will find the grey background/clear covered come from S2 DR & the black background/clear covered come from S2 HR & MR JDM vehicles and these go for AU$250 - $400.

Cheers, D

J, The clear over grey are DR S2 and the all over red (S1), the second pic, the ones you want don't draw to much attention so you should get them cheaper, but finding them in good nick is going to be your problem. If the ones you show were available, I would have bid on them and try to find a match later.

Cheers, D

Ive got pics of the early type that are black with red circles, if they arent factory i can only assume they were altered, like night shades or similar painted on with the circle section taped off...

CBF'd looking for them though, too busy forking down these cornflakes... nom nom nom

finished my cornflakes!

AND

I can confirm there are 4 types of hotplates.

2 i the series 1, and 2 in the series 2

Series 1:

red circles moulded into red outer cover

red circles moulded into black outer cover

Series 2:

red circles moulded into grey inner section with clear cover

red circles moulded into black inner section with clear cover (see ebay... one going for 130 USD)

Well sir! You have finally fallen on your sword?lol

I wonder if you would consider the following as evidence to your claims as well.

And just for the record, these black S1 tail lights DO NOT appear in any JDM sales brochure I have and not in the Nismo Special Parts, or Jenesis, or Nissan option parts brochures either.

Cheers, D

And Mags, this is a picture of the SAME car you show as an example of these black tail lights you are so fond to prove me wrong about, but from a diferent angle.

You may recognise the car in the background?

Cheers, D

And the gentleman in picture 2 in the block of 4 pictures, just happens to be 66yostagea.

The car that you so diligently show as proof to these black S1 lights your so wanting to prove exist, is Harry's old car hrd-hr30 on this very forum. The car is now owned by Patrick Hastings in Newcastle and it was looked at by Hugh & myself at Harry's home in Queensland during one of my many visits, back in 2006 and I have over 30 pictures of it.

The car in the background of the above 2 pics, just happens to be a V8 Toyota Cressida carrying NSW rego DWG-666 that you know well, at that time having Lexus LS400 wheels.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm penny for your thoughts ????????????????????????????????????

D

not sure exactly what model my lights are but the have red rings and the rest is pretty clear (off an R31 1988 Ti) they are in really good nic with no cracks fading etc, and im just going to rally my R31 and probly smash them anyway, so if anyone wants to buy/swap with mine give me PM

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
