Looks like he got ass-ended. I wonder if a 3rd brake light would have prevented the accident? J/K

Zenki JDM ones have a rear brake light if they dont have the Aero package. They are essentially (baring different grill, shaped turn signals, and buldging sidemarkers) similar to USDM S14 zenki.

Aero Package Zenki with the Navan 3 piece wing, Aero grill, and Aero (often mislabelled navan) front bumper cover; do not have rear 3rd brake lights because of the navan wings integrated 3rd brake light.

cool. thanks. didnt know that. also dont know if mikes car had the wing and removed it or he just shaved it when he got it painted. all i know is that its not there. haha

hmm my trunk does not have the navan wing. it has the same wing as US got, but it hasd the 3rd brake light in it. and it's clear. i put a picture.

[wylin]

I can check my hyper rev volume 19 that would be the easiest way to see if it has a rear brake light. =P

cant really tell with out seeing the sides both the low stock wing and the navan look the same to me at those angles. But yah the navan wing has a red LED down the center. Silvia tend to have the emblem on left also.

Japan s14 have 3rd brake light, this HKS kansai car has it, trust me its a zenki its actually the car the caused me to buy a s14 in 1995

Zenki S14 in japan have a 3rd brake light and non aero's have a wing thats identical to USA s14.

Hmm brian must have a weird wing then. also i thought he had a white s14 with auto? or is that sumone else.

[Dousan_PG]

that was his old car. this is his new one

[Brian]

will. i sold that old car and got this new car.
i assure you there is no tom foolry. it is the same as a US wing, but it has the clear 3rd brake light integrated in. and no trunk mounted light. i love it. gonna take the silvia sticker off i think.

[wylin]

i found the same wing on the Hiro S14 in my hyper rev 19, other then that though i dont see any other cars with it...cool stuff tho.

[Hawd]

i'm assuming it would be cheaper to shave off the 3rd brake light than buying a jdm trunk?

[Dousan_PG]

hawd, depends
if you pay a shpo to do the body work and paint, i would say probably same as getting the JDM trunk and having a shop paint it


it really depends on luck and costs and how much you can do yourself...could go either way

[SilviaDriver]

im doing it all with my dad and i

so far ive shaved:

shaved trunk holes. [my car is base too..previous owner put an SE wing on..he did a shitty job i see 5 holes. 4 holes that line up wing and 1 hole that is fucked up haha stupid ass]
shaved antenna

and thinking bout 3rd brake light..and most likely i will after seeing mikes car

cleaned up my rear quater panel crash and all door dings too.

gonna get the whole car painted a new color and door jams too...all for 150 bucks =]

remmeber i told u Aaron i can do paint and body

[justinhustle]

i shaved my antenna...was going to shave 3rd brake light

but i rocks the cf trunk nooooow

Spray paint? What kind of paint are you using?

[Matt_240]

yea, what kind of paint can you get for 150? my paint cost at least 600

[Hawd]

About how much would a jdm trunk lid run for? Trying to estimate costs because I'm getting a base model s14 in black next week and the paint is in good condition with a few blemishes that a good claying can get rid of. The trunklid is spoiler less and I can always sell it after I get the Jdm trunk lid. Shaved 3rd brake lights look hot IMO. But then again I want to shave off the antenna so I'm thinking it would be easier to shave it all at once.

im using PPG becuz PPG is factory paint for most cars..and the color i chose is a factory color. juss not on Nissans.

suppose to paint the car this sunday..but havent shaved 3rd brake light yet..kinda getting lazy

I wasnt trying to be an ass. I was just wondering b/c spray paint can sometimes come out quite nicely. I only thought that b/c it was so cheap. But deng...your lucky. Good luck on the paint job man. Let us know how it turns out.
