DR30 Hot Plates on ebay, just ended @ $202.50 AND these were not MINT, they had minor blemishes & small cracks in them, so I guess the sky is the limit for these style of tail lights.

Makes my mint pairs worth over $400 easy.

Cheers,

D

jeeze,

such prices for taillights.

I remember seeing a shitload being advertised a few years back, for between $100 and $150 a pair, where did they all go?

Still have the 2 pairs I brought of ghostrider 4? years ago

You still got the bootlid?

See PM sent yesterday

DR30 hotplates are as rare as rocking horse whit. R31 lights are still available new, so there is nothing special about them. I have six pair in stock.

I have a three pair of DR30 hotplates, but wouldn't ever sell them, and that is the way most people with a set of these lights, and a DR30 feel about having tjhe lights.

DR30 hotplates are worth whatever anyone is prepared to pay for them. In context, V36 rear lights are over $400.00 list per side. If you can pick up good condition DR30 light for $200.00 per side, it's still a very cheap option.

Cazz,

A thousand per side wouldn't buy any of mine.

I think a pair of neither cracked nor faded S1 lights are going to hold their value more than you think D.

Obviously the S2's are more popular, but s1's in above mentioned condition are just as sought after as excellent condition S2's in Japan from what I've seen.

I think I had better take my near-perfect, non-cracked, non-faded hotplates off the rally car then!

Problem is, what's the point in having them if you aren't going to use them (or to keep as spares)...

Trade for my uncracked faded lights.. Much safer in my garage away from tree's and embankments lol :D

(was worth a try)

Hey, before I go off about non-faded - has anyone got a picture of some faded ones? I mean, mine don't look brand new (why would they), but the red is still red and the yellow is still yellow.

Interesting offer D-limo! I'll give that some serious cons... no. :D

Couple of interesting pics I came across today in my searches.

Also my lights at the right for matty.

Anyone know if the lenses come apart easily?.. Thinking a can of transparent red or nightshade could do wonders.

Ever thought of colour coding the outer areas and just having the light circles?

Good for you & you don't need to get them new from a dealer.

If your using Japan as the source, any number is available through Yahoo.

I have just ordered parts from KRS for my PNV and I hope I can get them before the nationals.

    • So many people don't notice it, as batteries decay slowly over time. Two big reasons people end up noticing and needing to replace batteries: 1) The cold weather. The cold not only makes it harder to turn the engine for a few reasons, but it also increases the batteries internal resistance. So this means you need MORE power to turn a colder engine, AND the battery has a lower limit on how much current it can provide. 2) Something gets modified/altered/added in the wiring, typically an aftermarket accessory, like a dash camera, or an alarm etc, and this adds a small amount extra onto the battery, and pushes it over the edge in its failing days. But if you hadn't have read this thread, and just pushed through, chances are you might have made it through this winter, just. But come next winter, it would have been kapoot. But the fact you changed it out now, means you've instantly noticed how much nicer it is for starting, and will be less worry for you that the engine won't start now.
    • Holy shit, I'm glad you brought up the battery issue and I'm glad I asked about measuring it. Old battery was at a healthy 12.82V in the morning with the car turned off. Removed the fuel pump fuse, clamped the multimeter on at min/max/average and cranked for ~3 seconds. It dropped down to 8.30V. So yeah, not surprising it struggled that much. Picked up a fresh battery from supercheap and it's ridiculous. Haven't done a cold start yet, but man, even with a warm start the difference is night and day. I can't believe I lived with this for so long. Just blamed it on it being an old modified car. Went with Century because convenient. If they are shit it'll be a future me problem. But just in case I set up a reminder for 30 months - 8 weeks to check on the battery state and get a warranty replacement if necessary. 
    • There's another sensor that sits inside the evaporator, that's a C U N T to get to, but can be done without removing the entire unit. Usually it's not the sensor that dies but the actual capacitor in the circuit (part of the plug that dies).  
    • Putting the climate control CU into diagnostic mode is independent of the ECU. You just have to do the dance prescribed in the manual. No, I do not know what the dance is. I have an R32, so use the dance in the R32 manual. On older cars, I would have said "no, the ECU should not affect whether the A/C works".... but for an R34 that might be wrong. I don't recall the detail, but there was extra mods required to make my R32 A/C work against the R34 ECU. The R34 ECU apparently gets involved in the running of the A/C more than earlier cars did. Theoretically, if the PFC is a true plug in, then it should just work the way that the original ECU does - wrt A/C. But there's always scope for them to have not cared. Nope. Pressure switch out = getting the fridgey out to pump the gas out before pulling the switch. The switch really cannot sense gas pressure unless it is up against the gas.
