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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
