Hey guys, a couple weeks ago I bought LED tail lights for my r34, I installed them, and the brake lights and blinkers worked, however the tail lights themselves didn't. I replaced the broken 10amp fuse with every fuse you can think of, and 30 amp is the only one that doesn't break, however the lights still wouldn't work with that in. I was only driving by day for a while, then switched my lights on, and now my blinkers have cut out. I don't want to spend hundreds on electrical work at a shop, so please if anyone knows how to fix this, it would be appreciated. Cheers.

I'd be more worried that LED's draw FARRRR less power then normal halogen lights. So if you are blowing fuses then you have a serious problem. But will agree with above. NEVER a good idea to just put bigger fuses in to 'see what happens' They are designed to be there to blow before other more expensive componenets fail, Fuses are there for protection.

unplug the lights and confirm voltage at the plug. Check for around 12V

Is it possible to plug the tail-lights in wrong or anything? I wouldnt think so if its anything like my LED lights, they just plug into the standard sockets and they will only really go one way.

I would contact the supplier and ask them if there is an issue. Maybe youve got a problem with a join somewhere and they might replace them. However now that you have upped the fuse rating, you may have burnt out something serious inside the lights and they might not warrant it.

Hey mate I got the same led lights for my 34 I ran into the same issue make sure they are in properly as in all the wires match up to where there meant to be I had a similar issue when I had mine first put in turns out the wires / plugs were not in properly see how you go with that

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
