Led Boot Brake Light

Hey everyone,

I got an R34 with a lip on the boot, I always intended to change the spoiler from the lip to the stock 25GTT wing, and I have done so but I now have the hole where the stock boot brake light goes...

On ebay there is an LED boot brake light available for sale, but it doesn't include the lamp housing as it assumes your simply replacing your stock with an LED to get a better look, but I have no housing...

Does anybody have any ideas on what I can do?

I went to a wrecker to see if I could get the whole lamp with housing, but they said it would be a useless pursuit because they would be ruining the boot lid to get the lamp out, so i'd be paying for the whole boot lid...

I'm in some real trouble here because the hole allows for rain to enter the boot, I have it masking taped up from the inside for now to keep rain getting in until I get it sorted, but I don't want to rely on that for too long, any ideas or help would be appreciated.

are they kidding.. it's easy to get the light housing out.. they might mean that someone who wants the boot will want the light also? :S

The LED light on ebay is from 666DAN on here.. i would look at posting on here.. and scouring the sale threads for wrecked back ends but get the light.. also try other wreckers..

yeah your best bet is to try other wreckers but as has already been said most people who want to buy a boot lid also want the lamp housing. I have actually gotten the led kit from dan so if you do find a housing its not a bad thing to grab. Also if worst comes to worst try actually getting the part through nissan but they will charge you like no tomorrow probably but i think thats more of a last ditch thing.

Also have you talked to the guy you bought the car off maybe he has it lying around.

And some places to try that are not to bad are sydney auto dismanterlers 97092800 or try just japanese 9724800.

Good luck

Gimps, thanks for the info about the seller actually being on the forums, i'll give him some messages, maybe he has dealt with some people who have been in my situation and knows what they did.

hybrid, I already went to Nissan and they told me it would take a week for them just to get me a price :)

I got the car from an importer, so there's no chance they will have the housing laying around, thanks for the numbers and names, i'll give those two a call :P

      My extinguisher mounted like this unscrewed a little (Maybe from the chair sliding forward) and dumped a bit of white on my mats. I'll need to get a more narrow one for future.

      I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.

      I know which one I'd prefer to have in my garage, and which one I'd actually drive as intended

      I definitely agree with you there - I never click on content for cars I would never ever be able to get or compete with/against/be seen next to. Seeing a MX5 compete with a FD RX7 will make people upset though, for sure. Even in 2.5L Turbo form which is pretty grass roots. (or at least as grass roots as classic cars can be) Yes we're all classic car owners now.
