Hey all,

Has anybody seen tail lights like this around, any idea where they might have originated from?

I've just bought this car and I'm not 100% sure I'm keen on how the rear-end looks at the moment... let me know what you think.

I would love to get one of the illuminated "Skyline" panels, so if anyone could tell me where to get them i'd appreciate it.

i dont know about where to get them but i rekon if anyone did know where, they would keep it a secret, coz the red afterburners are the trade mark of the skyline...

Some bodgey Japense bastard had cut the wires on mine so that only the outside two tail lights illuminated.

All 4 would light up for the brakes though.

It was quite cool as no one could pick mine as a Skyline from a distance.

I have since re wired it so that I have the trademark 4 stove plates.

I couldn't bare bieng different, but I think clear is cool

I probably would've liked that... i kinda dont mind the R32s with the single light kit (so they lose the inner afterburner) but i think that's just because i dont like the 32 lights anyway... the rectangular indicators...

Before I bought the 33 I thought that the inner circles of the taillights were actually lights not just reflectors, I was going to make the outer circles into indicators... so much for that idea...

maybe its possible to make the (now.. stay with me here...)

the 2 outer parts of the inner lights into brake lights.. and the 2 outer parts of the outer lights the brake lights.. or vice versa... something like that? would that be possible?

We'll I've decided I'm gonna give it a go... make the outer afterburners indicators, the inner ones brake/tail lights... i might make the standard rectangular indicators into brake lights or something too if i can find one of those illuminated 'skyline' panels (apprently they're actually a factory option?). I gather though that this might cause some problems with the boys in blue??

Shouldnt be too difficult though as all of my rear lights have clear lenses... so it'll just be a case of getting the coloured bulbs as Mud said.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
