Hello,

I have abit of a yellow and black theme going on with my car and am considering what smoked tail light would look like?

Does anyone have any info on products avaliable? dont really want to 'spray' them, would prefer if a proper smoked tail light was made for them (although i have searched with no luck?)...

any information would be helpful.

Heres some pics of my car to get an idea.

Really not sure if it would look good or not?.... let me know what you think?

Cheers,

Anthony

^Cheers mate

I think it has the potential to look good... im just not sure on it?...

i know you can get tint plastic that you can stick to the lights, anyone used them before?

Don't do it.

a) It will look like ass

b) Skylines trademark are their awesome red round taillights, why would you want anything else back there?

+1

Plus smoked lights on a yellow banana will look ugs !

To answer your question, you will have to spray them - only indicators come pre-smoked, everything else has to be sprayed.

Thanks for the input guys

I do agree with this, i think making a substantial change to the rear tail lights could take away the classic 'skyline' look of the car... would look very different..

IMHO

Looks good in daytime

Looks crap at night

Worst of all, I'd be concerned about a night driver with impaired reflexes, hitting me up the backside.

.

I was more interested in finding an actual product (similar to the nismo smoked indicators, which in no way hinder the lights underneath), aswell i wouldnt want to dim the lights on the back for the same reason as you ha.

Stock tail lights over anything else on a GTR.

It's a trade mark in a sense.

Unless you want to lessen the chances of other drivers not seeing you brake lights...

I do not particularly like tinted / smoked tail lights.

Totally agree - stock tail lights on all Skylines are sexy as...and yes a trademark look for sure...smoked lights look arse - but altezza lights or whatever they're called - looks gay-arse!! :domokun:

Always thought this was classed as a DEFECT aswell?

Correct me if i'm wrong

Sure is mate you are correct. Smoked side indicators are too but less noticeable so people get away with them.

Thanks for the info and input guys.

Was just throwing the idea around and im pretty sure we have got it sorted.

I dont think its worth it as:

1. dont want to be defected

2. have not seen it done on the 34s where it actually looks really good. as in an actualy product that works, and doesnt dim the lights too much and is functional

3. looks good how it is, and changing it to smoked etc would be a risk that it would most likely look worse.

That's good!

Now if your Q had been,

"What body colour of an R34 GTR would best suit or contrast with dark taillights?"

...I would have said Black or Yellow.

And the worst?

I would have said M/Jade or Silica Breath

ha very true, i think red would also suit dark taillights, i do like the red and black combo aswell, i think on the yellow the dark tail lights stand out too much (just judging from the photo shop above), and the taillight design just doesnt suit them if they are dark imo, where as on other yellow cars it could probably work...

I can only imagine how bad a Jade 34R would look with dark taillights ha!

      49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.

      Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf

      Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.

      Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.

      Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
