The japs have a weird way of thinking lol

Just wondering has anyone ever come across an issue when the outter tail lights only work when the headlights are on but all lights come on when the brakes are engaged? It's obviously intentional. I checked the globes, they were fine and were twin filament and the wiring around the tail light seemed ok. Has anyone ever come across something like this and where they could possible trip the wire so that they only come on when braking?

Cheers,

inner taillights were single globe sockets when i first got my car from japan and fitted twin filiments sockets and changed around some wires,and now all four taillights work when parkers are on and when i brake they go brighter..r33 series1

may pay too have a look to see if urs are the same....

Mr fanny i think your right,cos on my compliance sheet it says that the did somework on rear taillights.they changed inner tailight sockets to single filiment,and you cant just put in a double filiment globe cos it wont work,u need to change the inner tailight socket to double filiment.Any jap spare parts should have em.dont try autobahn or repco as ive been there with no luck..

Welcome to the "silly little things" in the ADR's. All the the Aust delivered GTR's got the same treatment. Look at the tailights on the next ladder-chassis 4x4 you see.

Funny, my car managed to slip past without getting the 'snip' :D

It's not a big deal, but the Aust GTR's had that because the outer lights are the indicators. The JDM indicators became the reversing lights, and the JDM reversing lights were turfed so that the wide Aus licence plates can fit. It's one way to tell an Aus car from a Jap one - there are no lights around the number plate.

You mean like this?

Hah my ones werent cut, just had a little piece of tape over one of the inner globes so they wouldnt light up when i pushed the brakes, and all 4 were on when i had the parker lights on. My one didnt get snipped either :rofl: Just got rid of the tape now all 4 work when i push the brakes :)

    • I have a VALCON if anyone wants it, I have no idea why you'd want to have VVT specifically broken out of the ECU as opposed to running it off the FCON/whatever standalone you have.
    • Hi Yes we're a bit optimistic we might get something out of sealing up the two pipes of the external wastegate and reactivating the stock one. I believe the orginal stock wastegate was tack welded shut. It doesn't budge and visually looks closed and sealed. The car has noticeably more lag so it could be at least part of the problem, maybe all. It's definately one of the key changes made since last tune. And it's one that's more difficult to fully understand and measure, not like for instance timing or cylinder compression.  Thanks for that feedback, we'll let you know how this progresses. Fingers crossed.   Regards Rob
    • Transplanting the vvt from a 25neo into an rb26?
    • Well, I was going to say, "Is the wastegate set up so that it is not leaking?" That's actually a different thing to what you're asking about. In theory, if you have allowed the two halves of the manifold to commmunicate (more than the stock manifold does - which is at least a little bit) then the negative effect should be apparent in delayed spool, not in outrigth power. OK, maybe just maybe, a badly set up twin scroll wastegate "crosstalk" might kill the top end, although it's hard to see how. What is happening with the original wastegate in the turbo? is it sealed off properly. If it's left flapping in the breeze, it will f**k everything up. If it is still there, and can be returned to service, I'd be capping off the external (presuming the two halves can and will be isolated from each other after doing so) and have a go with just the stock wastegate. I have an internal wastegate in my highflowed rear housing. The bigger opening and flapper should be fine to >250 rwkW. So there's not exactly a pressing reason to have the external. Done right, an external will give better results. Done wrong, it might just be possible to have worse results. Report back!
