question on R32 GTR tail lights - differences?

[jbonevia]

This has been bugging me for a while - i remember probably 8-10 years ago i used to see a R32 GTR getting around my area with the number plates GDZILLA or something close to that (eastern suburbs melbourne). Anyway it must of been an aussie delivered skyline being that long ago, but i remember that the outer round tail light was actually the indicator.

Most of the skylines i see today (GTR or not) have two brake lights on each side, and the small square indicator in the middle of the brake lights.

Anyway i was driving down springvale road last night and i saw a black GTR heading past the Glen shopping centre, i noticed when it changed lanes that it also had the indicator as the complete outer circle and the small square middle light was actually the reverse light.

So this got me thinking that there is probably two different tail light setups for the R32, is this correct or am i just insane?

[Dahtone Racing]

yes there are two different setups

all imports have the twin brake lights on each side with the indicator in between and the reverse lights on either sid eof the number plate.

O-O SKYLINE O-O

aussie delivered models have indicator on the outside and brake light on the inside with the reverse light in between

O-O SKYLINE O-O

im assuming the aussie tail lights are as rare as rocking horse shit?

[Dahtone Racing]

second hand, yes.

new, probably not.

just call any nissan dealer

but you'll need a VIN number

I have an an aussie delivered GTR and 1 night a few months ago some one came up next to me and told me my outer break lights weren't working.lol.

i think the aussie delivered lights look stupid... personally...

*runs*

[Dahtone Racing]

i think the jap model reverse lights look stupid

and their position are shithouse

so im in the process of changing mine

probably wont be street legal but its a show car anyway

[Tosh]

yeh I'm not a fan of the aussie delivered light AT ALL

and yeh it'd be very easy to get new lights from Nissan for the aussie GTR

Anthony, you don't always need a VIN number.... usually they can look it up with just the model (unless they're being assholes) and if it's something like trim bits where there's a few differet finishes and whatnot, a chassis number will nail it down

[Dahtone Racing]

ive always dealt with assholes lol

[Ronin 09]

what do you mean... like this? what's wrong with them? I like it

[Dahtone Racing]

yep thats the aussie ones

meh im not fussed with em either way

but i want someone to make me some LED ones

[Ronin 09]

i like them b/c they're different - which reminds me i should probably get a pair from nissan before they stop making them!!

[Dahtone Racing]

they wouldnt be making em anymore

they usually have spares in stock though
