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.

      V37 Radiator removal

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic

      If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
