Ive owned 4 r32 skylines and on one of them there was a square brake light on the top of the windscreen. I think it is better since its an extra light that only comes on when you are braking because if you got your lights on, only the 4 round lights light up both when you are braking and when you are not braking, so people who are not focusing on the road will be able to tell that you are braking cause of the extra light that lights up, because i had alot of close calls with people behind me nearly rear ending me. Is it an oem part? i cant find any anywhere. If anyone can point me in the right direction that'll be swell :worship:

It could be that the R32 with that third brake light was Australian delivered. Does that sound right? The ADM ones had some changes that the JDM ones didn't.

My wife had a Corona as her first car that had two additional brake lights in the top of the back window. They were just generic universal ones from Repco.

Hope that helps.

Oh, then I must be way off with the ADM thing.

maybe the GTR's need them because there is no light on the gtr spoiler but the gtst spoiler has a light

Mine is a Hella I think. Or maybe Narva.

I think they get installed as part of compliance.

have u got any pics?

My GTS-T has a narva/hella item which I'm assuming was also installed during compliance, it's got the GTR spoiler (no lights)

I'm pretty sure it's an ADR/compliance law rather than a factory option / nissan part

Alrighty, i checked ebay and there are 2 'hella matrix' lights

this one: http://tinyurl.com/pkhy42c and this one: http://tinyurl.com/paeqexo

Im thinking the 1st one. Also what brand are these and are they guaranteed to sit in nicely on a r32 gtst? If anyone knows any more better looking ones then let me know please

thanks :happy:

My one was removed during tinting, and fell off when I stuck it back on (didn't use fresh tape, silly me). So I shoved it in a corner and now it's stuck there lol.

But yeah, looks like your ones linked but older (non LED I think).

Brake lights are much brighter than tail lights (something like 21W v 5W), so any competent driver following would be able to tell whether or not you were braking. For people not focusing on the road, it really won't matter how many brake lights you have.

That said, what I did with my 32 (doesn't have that stupid eye-level light) is to clip the tail light wire to the inner 2 tail lights, so now I have 2 tail lights and 4 brake lights (I stole the idea from the 240K setup, having seperate tail / brake lights). Much simpler, just as effective.

    • Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.
    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
