R33 Clear Tail Lights, Where To Buy Them?

The standard tail lights are clear underneath... ...The reflector is just plain white too... ...It's the red outer cover that gives the tail lights their colour...

There is a thread from about a year ago where someone explained how they did it and what he used...

They looked good on his car... ...But his car was really themed around ice and snow... ...So it worked...

Big draw back was he got pulled over by the cops all the time because their headlights would reflect back at them in white and not red... ...So he's back to standard red...

As you can see from the pic of the 34 above... ...The red reflector in the middle does look a little naff... ...And most clear ones out there are LED tail lights...

At the end of the day... ...It's your car... ...As you can see a lot of people don't like the clear tail light look on skylines... ...But if it fits the overall look of your car... ...Then go for it...

htial ^^^good memory! here's the thread, that was me :blink:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Le...49#entry3668249

It's all good... ...I think I remember it so well because it did just look sooo good on your car... ...And we had a good chat about it at a monash meet up... ...and while a lot of the time it does look shit... ...You went about it the right way...

It's just a pity that it was so defect-able...

And did you end up selling them???...

thanks for that, nobody has ever given me a hard time about them, most people love them and everybody wanted to know where i got them etc!

they are sitting around in my garage up for grabs - they cost me a s#!t load but i'll load 'em off for $50 bucks if anyone is interested. the guy that started this thread is gonna come check have a look hopefully over the easter weekend.

Off topic, but btw i got fibreglass 6x9 speaker pods, & my quick release steering wheel boss kit to find a new home also

      ENR34 - Leaking Transfer Case

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 5 spd AWD boxes are all like-for like. They might not all be identical (covering >10 yrs of production means that many parts were updated as they went) but they are the same thing. You're not going to be swapping to auto.

      Oh, oops, yeah, I'm getting the cams in the 2.5 replaced, so the above factory 2.0 cam specs don't mean 5hit, but, after alot of googling it seems the factory 2.5 cams don't like to rev So, yeah, there is that 🤣

      Update - new drop of oil noticed. Leak seems to be continuing, but a slow/small one.

      ENR34 - Leaking Transfer Case

      By AdiR34 · Posted

      Hey y'all! So I am the owner of a shiny new '99 ENR34 25GT-Four, 5spd manual. Took it to the tire shop to get new shoes. They mismatched the front and rear axles (225/40s on rear, 225/45s on front), so AWD system went bonkers for the next day. Took it back in, they fixed it, but I noticed about 8-9 big drops of red fluid in my parking spot. Leaking has stopped, but it's clear that the transfer case may have been stressed/hurt by this debacle. I'm taking it in for inspection tomorrow. If things are FUBAR, I have a few questions. - ENR34 manual transmission transfer cases seem impossible to source. Can a GTR transfer case fit? Or if not the whole thing, just seals or components? GTR is 6spd, mine's 5spd, so I'm thinking no, but lmk. - Finding a few RB25DE NEO AWD auto transmissions for sale, for decently cheap. If my only option is to swap to auto, what else will I need besides an auto-specific gauge cluster, and associated wiring? - I imagine the R32/33 GTS4 transmissions/transfer cases are a no-go? They're not NEO engines, so unsure. - RB25DET/4WD setup from the Stagea, any parts that transfer over? I did search up for this on SAU and google, very little info covered.   This is my first post, so apologies for breaking any rules, please let me know, and thanks for the help.

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Thanks. I agree, looking at those plugs in conjunction with good compression/leak down tests I'm not too certain its ring related anymore.  I have a Swagelok ball valve on the drain and tubed it lower down to the left side of car to easily dump it into a container. I do not drain back into the sump. I've never had to drain it though as there's never been any oil in it.
