I Don't Know What These Are..

[Silver_R34_GT-T]

Hey all, Ever since i bought my R34 GTT 4 months ago, ive been wondering what these weird clip/brackets are.

They are on the left side of the passengers foot space, and they look like they are stock items. Does anyone know what use to be in these things?

Thanks

[Bov]

Believe it or not but I have similar clips and a "flare" is clipped to them. I guess its a road safety thing - if thats what you are referring to?

flare, thats a bit weird.. but yeah, i was thinking fire extingisher but it was way to small.

[Silver_R34_GT-T]

Please excuse my bad spelling.

[satanic]

yeah the damn pricks stole my flare too

Hey satanic, i know this is off the topic of this thread, but have u changed your BOV in ya r34?

LOL< a flare just seems so weird in a car.

[satanic]

No not yet... i've been advised not to on the Tiptronics... causes more problems than worthwhile.

Just get a FMIC and you'll get plenty of turbo noise

As for the flare, for completeness ONLY I'm thinking about going to a marine store and buying one (or maybe multi pack to share with other members - save money). Anyone know any hardcore football rioters or good marine stores?

most imports actually come with those flare holders...they're like a standard thing in Japan but wouldn't u know....its ILLEGAL to have them over here?!

[BL01]

In japan, they will use the flares when their car breaks down in the middle of nowhere and visibility is blur...

Those brackets are definitely for the flares

[satanic]

DAMN legalities Maybe I can find a torch to put in there instead

[xRHETTx]

Perfect spot for a maglite torch. Or maybe a rocket flare. hmmm.

me and my mates bought a 4 pack of flares from a fishing store locally here when we were like 15

got 2 red flame 1's, and 2 orange smoker 1's for $70....bit of fun lol

OMFG THANKYOU for sorting that out....those clips have been a four year mystery for me. I've seen them on a few cars me or my family has owned over the years. A couple of XF falcons i had BOTH had them, i couldn't figure out wtf they were for.. now i know :lol: :lol:

[WazR32GTSt]

i hve always just assumed that those clips were for a torch, as they are prefectly placed for just that item..

[sewid]

Yeah theyre for flares. Compliance shops remove them.

I took mine out myself before taking the car to compliance so I could put it back in there

[Beer Baron]

yeah i have a few genuine nissan flares. pretty sweet got one in the GTR and one in the soarer. plus a few spares just in case i use one some day!

[dezz]

gimme 1?

[satanic]

ME TOO - GIMME 1?

[thommo]

here's a few pics for you of how it should look.

it's actually pretty rare to find these things still in a car unless like sewid you have imported the car and taken it out yourself.

this one is slightly past it's use by, 1997, i've always wondered what would happen if it was lit...
