I tried ordering JJR LED tail lights for my 34 a couple of days ago from just jap, turns out they are a discontinued line and I can't get them anymore.

I asked the sales person if he knew of another manufacturer that made good quality lights and he said that they aren't worth spending the money on cause they are crap. .

Does anyone know of another decent brand or place I could get them from?

I wondered to myself as to whether or not it was an 'age thing' (- me being an ol' fart); or a 'fashion' thing.

My '99 version has been maintained with the original 'stove oven' look, and that's been my preference.

I'm considering a LED conversion as well but would only get it if the results are similar to the R35 tail lights. The ebay/after market ones look crap IMO. Don't like the clear plastic showing the LED and then the clear mirror reflector indicator. Faded LED dots with the original yellow indicator is bomb.

They suit some cars and not others, I bought JJR ones for my 33, my originals were leaking and I thought I'd see how LED's went. Pretty happy with how they look, they look really good during the day.

Another reason I went with them is I'm pretty close to having LED's (or HID's) everywhere in my car

OP: I'm 99% sure the ones Just Jap sell are the same as the MARS performance ones on ebay

I only really thought they would suit the 34 properly, more of a modern looking car IMO.

Yeah I think I'll end up getting the ones from Mars on eBay, the rest seem too look not as good quality and qest are way too overpriced I think.

If you agree with each to his own then this post was pointless,

Nismo didn't make LED tail lights because the look like "a donkey's arse"

Again each to his own,

OP the Qest lights are a good choice if you don't want to spend the big bucks on the Nismo ones but they are still fairly exxy.

EDIT: you've clearly already figured this out, not a fan of the mars/east bear style ones myself, but see how you go.

I'd go with the Qest if I had the $1000 bucks haha but sadly I don't have that kind of money for tail lights, I'll think about it for a while more on which ones I'll get. I don't mind the look of the Mars ones but are they good quality? I don't wanna buy something that's going to leak or short out on me..

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
