Hi all,

Sorry to make the first post a need but I'm really lost. Just picked up my first Stagea, an 03 Rx4. 1 day after getting it the main tailgate (not the glass) would not open. I found the emergency release but now it won't close completely. It latches but the dash warning and interior light stay on. I checked the two rear door related fuses in the driver kick panel but all was ok. The car does not seem to be fitted with any kind of auto close. The glass access works perfectly.

Any help/advice appreciated.

There is a relay box behind the battery, you will need to remove the covers to see it. Make sure the hole in the bottom of the battery compartment isn't blocked and filling it with water.

Dry as a bone. Has anyone else had this problem?

Yes, but did you check the fuses on the relay board?

Yes. There are two boxes behind the battery and 1 in the kick panel. All seem ok. Is there a sensor or something in the door that reels it to lock/close after you shut it?

There would be a microswitch for the button, and another in the lock mechanism to engage the auto close. I haven't played around with the lock as yet. Perhaps the wiring where it goes through the hinge may be playing up?

I hope they didn't drill through it when the child restraints were fitted.

Nothing in that tailgate is simple unfortunately.

I second that!

Did you just pull the fuses out and visually check them?

I would surgest using a multimeter or test light on each side of the fuses.

Motor is stuffed. Im in brisbane if u need help replacing

Thanks mate :) I might need to take you up on that. Beer and pizza will be provided! Is there a multimeter check I can do on the motor? I'll pull the trim off tomorrow and make sure it's not a plug undone or something easy :)

Very interesting, I just got the same problem, but the glass window won't open either, checked all the fuses in the footwell, all seem ok, I checked the fuses in the engine bay as well, are any of the relays related to the tailgate?

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
