R33: Want all 4 brake lights to light up

[Wink]

I've heard as a compliance issue, R33s have two of the four brake lights at the rear disabled.

Is it easy to re-enable them?

[Eug]

mine wasn't - never heard of such a thing.

i suppose they've just cut the wire? just trace them back and re-wire it together

I believe that to be BS for a start.

But, it will depend how the 2 lights were disabled as to how easy it will be to enable them. If they have simply cut the wires, then simply re-join / re-solder them.

I personally disabled the 2 inner taillamps by simply cutting the wires. So now I have 2 tail and 4 stop lamps.

well im guessing u have a series 1.5 or a series 2 skyline right? coz in series 1 all four lights up but in the 1.5 and series 2 only the 2 on the end on either side only lights up, if u wanna make it light up im guessing jst tap the wires if u want.

my s2 all light up

My series 1.5 all light up....

[Bobjones]

My series 2 also all 4 light up!!!!

i'm sure the series 2 r33 gt-r have only the outer lights light up when braking

all 4 lights light up on all lower model r33s when braking, doesn't matter what yr model it is

however, some workshops disable two of the brake lights on the gtsts for compliance reason

according to adr, you can have so many rear parkers but only 1 can light up brighter each side for braking, check out the aus delivered r32 gt-r and the accord euro, they're good examples

the facts:

r33's have just the two lights enabled as factry standard in japan.

australian laws require all four to be on.

i reakon factory standard looks way cooler!

Wrong, EVERY R33 i've ever seen has all four rear lights wired up from the factory.

Every series 3 GTR I have ever seen only illuminates 2 of brake lights. This includes two that I have owned, and neither had butchered wiring.

My S2 has 2 working, the wiring was butchered at compliancing. (All 4 were working when it was imported, then following compliance, 2 are working.)

Mine were hacked badly, so that soldering them back together will be a mess.

I'm jealous when I see another skyline on the road with all four hotplates on...2 just looks crap.
