I've seen it on commies.

It looks like shite.... absolutely shite..

On the bright side - it makes me cack everytime so when I'm having a hard day and I see some pumped up geezer in a commie trying to look hard cos he bought the lights I jsut can't help but feel better bout myself.

i like it!

why, you ask?

well its flattery... armani (sp?) wears copy armani suits because he thinks its a compliment to the fact that he makes top quality suits. and just like this, its a compliment that commonwhore owners that put these lights on their cars actually wish they were driving a skyline and respect our cars :)

The lights look pretty ordinary... It looks like a bit of a hodge-podge, like they got half-way and thought "Stuff it, let's just put an R-100 tail-light in and be done with it."

Looks nothing like skyline lights, Altezza style lights they are, whatever the hell Altezza is, must be german or something for Rice.

"Altezza" is what Toyota calls the Lexus IS200 and IS300 on the Japanese market.

this raises my issue with aussie car drivers calling mods on jap cars rice...

everytime I see a ford ute or commodore ute with 'jewel' style (ie a style perpetuated by the IS200) rear light, it just proves how hypocritical people can be.

      Misfire/stalling issues

      All the above effort, time, swapping out parts in the dark (i.e. no O2 data). You're literally running in the dark.

      ATTESSA and pressure switches

      By MrStabby · Posted

      Looks like both of my cars have pressure switch issues. The R32 GTR has 18 flashes on the ATTESSA controller which is "ETS pressure switch circuit". The 4WD light is intermittent, and often just restarting the car clears it. There is an $300 replacement option https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/285675135148?itmmeta=01HXN3YKRGKQ08GRZ5KFKKZWJT&hash=item428390a0ac:g:6CcAAOSwWxBltMEG so if it becomes a permanent issue and I can confirm that the switch is the issue, i have a solution. The NM35 is reporting C1208, and disconnecting the switch causes the 4WD light to go away. Translating from the Japanese shop manual "when the pressure is reduced to 2.6MPa (377 psi) or less: conduction occurs when the pressure increases to 3.8MPa (550 psi) or less: conduction is present. Reference: • Immediately after the E-TS actuator motor stops, the pressure inside the accumulator is high and there is no continuity." Not sure how good the translation is but from what i can deduce this means the switch is normally closed (NC) and as the pressure builds from 0 to 550 psi the switch stays closed, then opens and 550 psi. As the pressure drops from 550 psi to 377 psi the switch stays open then closes again at 377 psi. Is that how these things work? These pressures are a lot higher than the R32 ("control pressure 0-228 psi") but i'm hoping i can find a generic switch (like they've done for the R32) to use as a replacement. Maybe something like https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/355586397452?epid=1676016964&itmmeta=01HXN534AF22ACTG6TGDDQGEQ7&hash=item52ca99d50c:g:mAEAAOSw8ilmBcMh&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8LtWdNlWHgyJ%2F3cbw25S2A1lde3qBi3fJii4T3lQavCz4kpqiD42SmBa4FocMvXCjcxiowHjb8vZ8%2BWxc53BkHv781tkStSnCDaenfGKC3bIp0keK20dfsn9LoPa3TfqaEmAydqqyKobgTdXsGGzsl%2BRjOVGuD8OIpOv%2B0wMl7aUtHg0iJtojbtzA%2BRS8Xfm8Ufjuvz4niwrqglAXFUbkL6J%2FGuHPeeECZhLBBN3iNM1Swl94Fv5zE95YK%2B5O6dxDN1ySNOjdMxkA8yaprbuwRHFQv1nlGh%2FWjekj6EUFR2%2FO4HTsoKtSAkY0Mj1w1uf1w%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR6zFjKXtYw but with a lower close pressure, and thread adapter if required. Am i dreaming?

      Rebuild vs second hand NEO?

      By Butters · Posted

      10-15 years ago, the answer would always be buy a good import motor and so many machine shops make.a hash of an engine rebuild, or they think they are some sort of RB magicians and want 40k.      Now as others have stated, you are buying a VERY old used motor. So rebuild is the correct answer.  Just finding a machine shop that will both do a good job and charge you a regular price is now your challenge.
