Hey guys

I was wondering if it is possible to take my rear taillight covers off and replace it with something better than an ageing not-as-clear-anymore one that has indented lines going across it.

I've seen some R31s that dont have that clear cover and i was hoping if i could do the same?

Cheers

Only things I'd suggest to fix your problem is get an early HR31 or an R32/33/34 - because thats the only way you'll get lights like you describe without making the car look poxy.

Most likely you can get fresh light assemblies from somewhere like jenesis ( http://www.r30.co.jp )....

haha this is like, straight-translation using babelfish isnt it? thanks none-the-less. now i gotta figure out the english lol :P

Hey Yas,

I can supply you with this derivative of the same lights.

Maybe better, maybe not, but BLACK background instead of silver/grey

Let me know what you think.

Cheers

that first pic isnt uncovered local lights, its lights off an import nicknamed afterburners. came on seris 1/2 imports r31s..

heres the pic your looking for. series 3 lights (hotplates) with the cover removed. yes, it looks dodgy, but it could look cool.

    • Those 2 solenoids in that assembly I mention, are the PWM solenoids for torque converter lock-up clutch & EPC (line pressure control) ~ when most folks hear of 'solenoid failure', the tendency is to think electrical failure...but fact of the matter is, especially wrt the EPC solenoid (which is moving/running all the time), you can have an electrically 'good' solenoid, that's absolutely broken/worn out mechanically inside...ie; valve plunger return spring rubbing against spring retainer plate, lowering preload pressure.. ...and the solenoid armature extension limit spring wafer with bad wear/broken off petals... ...and if there's ever been any metal flying about, damage to the valve plunger end itself... ...the stuff one never really sees, unless you go the whole 10yards trying to answer the question "why is my line pressure screwy, but TCU isn't flagging any EPC solenoid fault?"...and carefully dissect the solenoid. Worst (and most probable) scenario is when the plate spring petals break off, they get held by the magnetic flux, get mashed up by the armature into little bits, which end up in the space between the armature & shading core bore, and things get stuck or randomly jam up, and your line pressure goes flat and doesn't change...and the TCU never sees it, as it doesn't actively monitor LP... ..then it gets into insidious land, if you end up with lower than expected line pressure...lets say high clutch..and the lower pressure causes it to slip ~ when I say 'slip', think say 2000rpm on the drive plates, and 1800rpm on the driven plates, because the slip is making them under-rotate by 200rpm ; you get all the usual nasties like heat and band/clutch wear, but even if it's only 20rpm slip the same thing happens...and... you'll hardly ever pick this up driving the thing with the torque converter active as it effectively masks these sorts of slippages that are line pressure related ...(the newer TCUs can detect clutch slip rate)...just  FYI as it were...
