Just wondering if the R32 gtst comes stock with the rear brake light inside the car. I have one on mine, but it keeps falling down. Ive tried everything to stick it up there from outdoor double sided tape, to some silicon crap. Any recommendations?

Cheers :(

I think all Skylines did not come with a rear brake light inside the car. Well with R32's that is. It would have had to be put in for compliance.

I recommend Head Gasket Sealent. That stuff can take up to 200 degrees C, so it can take a lot of heat and the sun won't melt it that easily. I use it to stick up my Turbo Timer. Its been the best so far.

head gasket sealant sounds a good idea, never thought of that one. Liquid nails is also pretty strong... i used that one for my turbo timer as well..

Althought not sure how it would go when being stuck on glass...

^^Its sorta a-bitch with these rear inside brake lights. Cuz the car doesn't really need them, I mean we all got like 4 extra large circle brake lights, its just AUS laws I guess.

Preferbley have it sitting on the rear parcel shelf and just stick it to the window.

    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
