Check my earlier post, I gave a link to the first one! Personally I loved the first one - second was a bit shocking!! But still good if you're in the right kind of mood. This one is funnier though!!! http://www.mplayer74.com/movies/cats.wmv

Bug deflector? BUG DEFLECTOR? That ain't a bug deflector, THIS is a bug deflector! We also have showers............. ..... Thankyou Alan! I feel :stupid:...

Ah!! You might be the man to ask concerning this mystery which I've never been able to find a realistic answer for. Do you know what that great big plastic/glass thing on the bonnet of most (all?) modern Japanese patrol cars is?? The best I can think of is some kind of spoiler to increase high-speed stability, but I dont know!

LOL thats SICK!! http://www.mplayer74.com/movies/KA1.mpg here is the first one (with the pigeon) for those who haven't seen it..

Hmm interesting! I can only imagine what the worth of original Sport Option Kobe Seiko wheels are worth nowadays!... And now I know what the watch brand "Seiko" means!!! You learn something every day

Thankyou Alan for the clarification! I guess 'inspiration' for those wheels was drawn directly from Watanabe... did that company make wheels otherwise or just for Nissan?

Yep, to some Panasports/Minilites/Superlites/Watanabes all look the same. But to some (twisted sticklers such as you and me, Ben) it HAS to be Watanabe! Anything else is a compromise. I love the fact that the Watanabe is the great classic rim for these old cars, and the fact they were offered as a Nissan Sports Option makes them even cooler. They seem to drip with nostalgia... Mmmm...

OK, I wont warn you if I see you being ripped off. I do not think the furniture store analogy is appropriate. If they claimed their furniture was made of wood when it wasn't then yes, I would warn customers who entered the shop. I would hope others wouldn't be as ignorant as to stand by silently. It's not a "I know more than you" attitude, it's basic consideration for the well-being others. That's just my opinion, though.

Hi Ben, yes those wheels would have been just perfect for you! How wide a rim can you fit on a Z without overfenders I wonder... 6.5" is a little thin I would have thought. Although the stock steel wheels are 5" aren't they? Do you know how wide the rims you have on atm are? 6" I would guess.. AE86's are awesome yeah! I think they're a little overrated and overpriced, though. I doubt I'd ever own one because of the cries of "OHH DORRIFFTUUUU HACHI ROKUUU" permeating the air as you drive it anywhere.

That's a pretty self-indulged attitude... Would you like to be warned if you were bidding on something described incorrectly? I know I would......... *BANG!*

Alan, I must be blind! :stupid: I didn't even notice! Rob, here is the wiring diagram. I can't attach an image any bigger than 1024x768, but if you want a larger one I can email it to you. The wiring shown here is slightly different because it's for the 240K tail lights, but you get the idea (black being the ground).

Wow, it won't load up the large versions for me but from what I can see yeah the front definitely takes some inspiration from the Z. The rear end definitely DIDN'T though!! and I thought the Z was ugly at the rear..............

Ben, I think those would look really nice on your car.................. ;)

Rob, on the very first post on this thread I have given a link to a page describing how the lights are meant to work. The outer lights do not light up with braking, this is why the bulbs are a much lower voltage. If you are unhappy with them I will buy them back no problem.

The outer lights do NOT light up brighter when the brake is applied. We determined that earlier.. Might be worthwhile checking Zkid's theory...

A is amps I guess. That's usually 12 anyway so that should be fine. OK, so the outer bulbs are lighting up fine? What happens when you put the foot on the brake? Are both of the inner lights the same dimness?

I meant the old tail lights. How do you mean 'broke'? Did they get smashed or did they stop working properly? Funny, I could have sworn the lights all worked there, I replaced ones that didnt... weird. Anyway, I just went out and checked my lights - outer bulbs should be A12V8/3.4W and inner bulbs should be A12V23/8W. Which bulbs exactly aren't working? Do the indicators/reverse lights work properly?

Rob, the bulbs in there definitely worked when I tested - I made sure to replace those which didnt... I'll check the power ratings of the bulbs when I get home today. I was asking about the wiring because if it's a dodgy join then this might explain why they're only coming on very dimly. Seems that's not the problem though... which lights exactly are dim? On both sides? What was the problem you were having with the old tail lights?

It does indeed Alan. A pity they don't make the "Skyline" badge for the rear finisher anymore though (not sure about the GT-R), so it's hard to find those badges! Rob, alright, you mentioned before that the old tail lights weren't working. Can you test these lights to make sure the problem is in the new lights? Reason being when I tested them I was pretty sure they worked well. Also (you've probably done this already) you might want to check all the wiring and connections to make sure they're connected up properly.

Hi Alan As far as I know the rear finisher is just the same, with different badging. The chrome looking plastic rings are attached to the tail light units (please see attached picture), and then the finisher just is placed in front of that. Like the S30, it all sortof falls apart once you take off a few vital screws and nuts. From what I can tell in pictures, everything on the rear apart from the lights and badging is the same across models.

Hi Rob When I tried the lights out I thought they seemed fine. Did you look at them at daytime or night? They do appear pretty dull during the day... because remember when you depress the brake pedal they have to light up even more. At night they should appear fine, though.
