DR30 Hot Plates on ebay, just ended @ $202.50 AND these were not MINT, they had minor blemishes & small cracks in them, so I guess the sky is the limit for these style of tail lights.

Makes my mint pairs worth over $400 easy.

Cheers,

jeeze,

such prices for taillights.

I remember seeing a shitload being advertised a few years back, for between $100 and $150 a pair, where did they all go?

Still have the 2 pairs I brought of ghostrider 4? years ago

You still got the bootlid?

See PM sent yesterday

DR30 hotplates are as rare as rocking horse whit. R31 lights are still available new, so there is nothing special about them. I have six pair in stock.

I have a three pair of DR30 hotplates, but wouldn't ever sell them, and that is the way most people with a set of these lights, and a DR30 feel about having tjhe lights.

DR30 hotplates are worth whatever anyone is prepared to pay for them. In context, V36 rear lights are over $400.00 list per side. If you can pick up good condition DR30 light for $200.00 per side, it's still a very cheap option.

Cazz,

A thousand per side wouldn't buy any of mine.

I think a pair of neither cracked nor faded S1 lights are going to hold their value more than you think D.

Obviously the S2's are more popular, but s1's in above mentioned condition are just as sought after as excellent condition S2's in Japan from what I've seen.

I think I had better take my near-perfect, non-cracked, non-faded hotplates off the rally car then!

Problem is, what's the point in having them if you aren't going to use them (or to keep as spares)...

Trade for my uncracked faded lights.. Much safer in my garage away from tree's and embankments lol :D

(was worth a try)

Hey, before I go off about non-faded - has anyone got a picture of some faded ones? I mean, mine don't look brand new (why would they), but the red is still red and the yellow is still yellow.

Interesting offer D-limo! I'll give that some serious cons... no. :D

Couple of interesting pics I came across today in my searches.

Also my lights at the right for matty.

Anyone know if the lenses come apart easily?.. Thinking a can of transparent red or nightshade could do wonders.

Ever thought of colour coding the outer areas and just having the light circles?

Good for you & you don't need to get them new from a dealer.

If your using Japan as the source, any number is available through Yahoo.

I have just ordered parts from KRS for my PNV and I hope I can get them before the nationals.

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
