Hi,

Just wondering anyone know where i can buy the kit to keep all 4 of my R35 Rear Lights on instead of the two..

Noticed that my R34 has all 4 lights on but the GTR Doesnt.

Thanks

The Zele 4 light kit is the best way to go. It's an off the shelf kit and easy to hook up yourself. Did it on my R35 and it worked perfectly. Instructions here: Zele 4 light kit install instructions

I purchased the kit from "Matty32" who is on the thread linked above. Direct link to his site: New Era Parts store

Great service and the kit arrived within the week.

I went with the mcr harness

I had it ready to go before I even picked up the car

You connect it inline with the existing harness, no black box, no splicing, too easy

G35 the Zele may look brighter in pics because of the tighter packed LEDs on the inner vs outer

They both do the same thing, basically send constant power and ground. You could diy if you had a voltmeter and some time to kill

Hi,

Has anyone whos installed these kits have the issue of having the LEDS on the rear wing illuminated all the time also, so it looks as if your driving around with your foot on the brake?

MCR says their kit dimmley illuminates all 4 tail lights, does the zele kit do the same or is it runnIng full power all the time?

I fitted the Zele kit tonight and the inner tail lights are now illuminated with the same brightness as the outer ones. When you push the brake pedal, only the inner lights are brighter, as normal and the rear wing leds come on, as normal. The rear wing leds are not illuminated until the brake pedal is applied.

It works perfectly and looks much better. There is a switch on the unit to change it back to original spec if needed.

Started to make up a home made harness for this on mine, took a couple of diodes and so far got all 4 lights on now, but the small ones seem brighter than the outer ones, probably need some voltage regulators now to dim them down a bit.

JUST A NOTE TO BEWARE OFF.

When i first started to do this i came accross a problem, that with the inner lights on i could start the car without putting my foot on the brake pedal, didnt like that so had to fit 2 other diodes to sort that out.

will let you know as i go along.

I need to make sure that they work ok first before i decide what to do, i didn,t do it to make money, just wanted too see how hard it was to do, as on other GTR sites, the kit looked like a small box. If anybody wants i can post up the wiring diagram, and some pics of the harness,s but not till next week as i am not neer the car till then.

Tony.

    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers  
    • This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?  
    • Sorry for reviving an old post, but I'm having the same hot idle tick issue. Did anyone ever find out what it was?  I have checked/ replaced Injectors Coils checked Lifter clerance (is at zero) Checked Cam lobes Replaced exhaust gasket and studs Would appreciate any advice this is driving me nuts  
    • There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)
    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
