I tried ordering JJR LED tail lights for my 34 a couple of days ago from just jap, turns out they are a discontinued line and I can't get them anymore.

I asked the sales person if he knew of another manufacturer that made good quality lights and he said that they aren't worth spending the money on cause they are crap. .

Does anyone know of another decent brand or place I could get them from?

I wondered to myself as to whether or not it was an 'age thing' (- me being an ol' fart); or a 'fashion' thing.

My '99 version has been maintained with the original 'stove oven' look, and that's been my preference.

I'm considering a LED conversion as well but would only get it if the results are similar to the R35 tail lights. The ebay/after market ones look crap IMO. Don't like the clear plastic showing the LED and then the clear mirror reflector indicator. Faded LED dots with the original yellow indicator is bomb.

They suit some cars and not others, I bought JJR ones for my 33, my originals were leaking and I thought I'd see how LED's went. Pretty happy with how they look, they look really good during the day.

Another reason I went with them is I'm pretty close to having LED's (or HID's) everywhere in my car

OP: I'm 99% sure the ones Just Jap sell are the same as the MARS performance ones on ebay

I only really thought they would suit the 34 properly, more of a modern looking car IMO.

Yeah I think I'll end up getting the ones from Mars on eBay, the rest seem too look not as good quality and qest are way too overpriced I think.

If you agree with each to his own then this post was pointless,

Nismo didn't make LED tail lights because the look like "a donkey's arse"

Again each to his own,

OP the Qest lights are a good choice if you don't want to spend the big bucks on the Nismo ones but they are still fairly exxy.

EDIT: you've clearly already figured this out, not a fan of the mars/east bear style ones myself, but see how you go.

I'd go with the Qest if I had the $1000 bucks haha but sadly I don't have that kind of money for tail lights, I'll think about it for a while more on which ones I'll get. I don't mind the look of the Mars ones but are they good quality? I don't wanna buy something that's going to leak or short out on me..

      I wouldn't be concerned at all, other than to suggest having them flow tested when you receive them to confirm they are reasonably similar, and then put the highest to lowest flowing ones in cylinder 6,1,5,2,4,3

      I’m only posting this cause I thought I had seen a bad review on these somewhere before. Any feedback? Would you guys recommend that if I do buy these I send em to RC to have em checked before installing. Or any other suggestions?   https://www.ebay.com/itm/114009965865?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=JDl-15yLQ8C&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=QTzlFXB1S-S&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...

      BCNR33/ECR33 Door corner piece replacement

      Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
