Hi guys 

So I just got a pair of new nismo taiI lights$$$$$$$$$$$ but when I hooked them up I noticed the two inside breaking lights don’t work

i looked it all up and I’ve found that in Australia the compliance’s disconnect/ cut the wires

the problem is where abouts in the loom is the cut or disconnected wires 

I have searched myself with no success so this is my last resort

thanks

jack

That can't be true.

R34s are not like R32s. The only rule that had to be complied with that required the modification of taillights on Skylines was that there must be no permanently illuminated taillights outboard of the rear indicators. As R32s have 4x taillights with the indicators in between, the outer taillights had to be disabled. That was achieved by cutting the wires that run between the inner and outer lights, and was easily restored by just reconnecting them.

Pay careful attention to the fact that I am talking about taillights, NOT brake lights. There is no problem with the brake lights being inboard, outboard, up high down low, upside down or any other relationship to the indicators.

R34s had the indicator in the centre of the inner light, which is the taillight and the outers are brake lights, so there is no problem with the rules. If your Nismo's outer brake lights are not working, then they might be stuffed in some manner, or stupidly modified in some way. Look for cut wires inside them. Play with a 12v drill battery and jumper wires to see if you can make shit light up. It's not rocket surgery.

 

My brake lights all work fine it is the tail lights( the one with the indicator in the middle) that are not working and there is no problem with the lights because I tested it with a one of those power checking things with the two prongs that you poke into each wire and it indicated that there where 0 wats going through the tail light wires  on both sides

Le sigh.

Do you know how electricity works?

You did not "check them". You poked holes in the insulation with multimeter probes in probably one place, found no voltage and gave up.

Go outside, open the boot, and START FOLLOWING THE WIRES YOURSELF!

There is no way that the wires in your car needed to be cut for compliance reasons because there are no compliance reasons to do so on R34s. Therefore there is no "common" place for them to be cut, so no-one on the f**king internet is going to be able to tell you what is wrong so you will have to solve the f**king problem yourself, like a f**king man. For f**k's sake.

You are not describing the problem very well.

If it is that one of a pair of tail lights (you started off saying breaking lights) is working and the other is not then just take power from the working light and supply it to the non working light (assuming it has a bulb which works).

Look guys I’m sorry ok I am new to all this so try not to be to harsh on me 

So I am open to being corrected

what I’m trying to achieve is to get the two inside (tail lights) with the indicator in the middle to work

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
