Hope this is the right spot for this. From what I understand aftermarket steering wheels are illegal if they don't have an airbag fitted and came with one... I am doing a little bit of work on the interior of my skyline and was thinking, how hard would it be to fit a steering wheel from a newer Nissan (was in an X-trail today of all things and was thinking it wasn't a bad looking wheel and that the plastic bits on there could be easily painted to colour match, so maybe something like that or similar) so that the look is updated while still keeping airbag functionality? comments/thoughts/instructions/maybe even estimates on price please? car I have is an R33 S2 gts-t Cheers

I'm looking for a set of s2 headlights. Are there any cracks etc in the plastic? The clear plastic cover is all I'm replacing (comes apart at the clips/sealant with a bit of heat and a lot of umph) as my current ones are a little cracked and it kinda lessens the effect of the retro-fit I did on the lights, but I would be willing to buy the full units I guess. Would you be willing to post to Darwin NT?

ive seen izntrbl's vids on youtube on how to change em, but im worried that they are HID and arent really legal in oz for same reasons i listed earlier (washers n self level) if he could do halogens would be orsm, as long as they done for RHD vehicles like we have here, but 675 US is starting to get beh with the exchange the way tis thinking worth it to jus DIY anyways, bit more end satisfaction if it comes up right, gotta find decent projector units first though

keep us informed, pretty sure there'd be a market for it should the price be right

let me get my head round this, its been a long day say for example my car is already silver.... I can buy say the blue satin ghost pearl flakes, mix with clear coat, and get my nearest panel shop to spray it and itll look sweet? the silver will have a pearlescent blue tinge in the light? bout how much would the spray cost at the shop?

Cheers Nytsky, looking on ebay the projectors I found seemed to be High intensity discharge rather than halogen for the majority, but I will have another look later also looked at sending away, but yeah, US exchange went to the outhouse and the prices just seemed ...that and I kinda like the idea of doing the project myself was half thinking of buying some mazda 3 lights or similar and taking the projectors out of them if I cant source anything decent directly, but yeah, cost vs output again also, good tip bout the series 1, have heard that before, but mine is series 2 hence my troubles thanks anyway

Ok, basically I have looked around the forums as well as the ADRs and have found HID is a lot of work as you need washers and either self levelling motors in the assembly or self levelling suspension on the car for it to be legal. What I have decided is I might just in the mean time go for halogen projectors with some blue vision bulbs in to get them nice and white but still legal. I have contacted slipstreamperformance about their motorcycle projectors, and they say they're fine, so if I were to obtain items similar to this and retrofit to my headlight casing, do you guys reckon there would there be any issues? https://www.slipstreamperformance.com.au/st...oducts_id=11337 https://www.slipstreamperformance.com.au/st...oducts_id=11338 Nothing structural would change and I would be willing of course to test them so they are calibrated to the correct heights/cut offs etc. Also, I would be putting CCFL rings around the outside of the lamps to provide 'angel eyes' as my parkers. Should look pretty schmick. Also, would any of you recommend any bezels (seen a few retrofits where they put the e46 bezel around the projector and it came up alright). Probably lookin at this after April (and no, not just cos I've been stimulated, jus good timing ) so no huge rush, jus lemme know your ideas. p.s. yeah, i know a lot of ppl are like 'why put beamer style lights on a skyline'... well 1: I like that style n want uniqueness (especially since so many 33s are on the road lately) and I havent found anything like this legally on a 33 B: the illegal versions I've found look pretty tough and Letter 3: The original 33 lights arent that great and I need to relense them any way as the glass/poly is sctratched n cracked, so why not give it a go at the same time cheers for the help guys

Hi all I have a cut in the material on my drivers side door trim, on the arm rest kinda part. its been there a while and is not that big, only a couple of cm, but still... every time I look at it... I want it gone! Any ideas for a quick or cheap fix that'll work?

Edge sidekirts, CMA style front bar (if I remember right), and some gtr2 rear pods all from carmate.com very happy with the overall look, altho may do the mirrors in the future that many veilside kits up here on r33 (which im not a fan of on the r33 really) and a lot of other front bars didnt really grab me. wanted a unique look, think I got it. Waiting on some LED fog lights to arrive, then I'll shove them on too. But back to original topic, the hood is good, id rate it

just got the car back yesterday, been busy driving so only camera phone pics, sorry bout the quality

quick question, the projector units, do they have a levelling device? dunno how it applies in the UK but here to do these conversions and have them comply with the ADR' (specifically ADR 13) in cars built after 1st October 1991 we have to have: 1. either a vehicle or a headlamp self levelling device to orientate the beam, as well as 2. a headlamp cleaning device to remove debris from the lens that may otherwise cause light refraction beyond the low beam cut-off line this is for HID of course but you see where I'm coming from. I've seen nozzles that just spray water onto the headlamp be used as a cleaning device so that shouldn't be too hard, it's the levelling that has got me thinking.

cheers matt, much appreciated

I reckon you should do a guide for the headlights bro... series 2 owners cant really get the other series headlights on if what Ive been reading is correct. Help us out plz?

let us know how he goes, also interested to get this done (in like a month or so tho)

just thought id let yas know, rained heavily tonight with my car caught outside (visitin my girl), but no probs first vents line up ove my intercooler piping and seem to run down quite readily away under the car the 2nd set of vents are alright 2, i was worried maybe of a few exposed electricals that sit lower in the bay but they all came up clear (by that i mean didnt get wet, not got wet but worked still), n if youve ever seen rain in the wet up here youd know its a pretty good test maybe water sitin in the bay however may promote rust and others nasties over time, so i might make some guttering in the near future anyway just to be safer rather than sorry also... buying a new kit in the next 2 weeks so yeah, i realise the pics were probably set off a bit by the standard front, but I reckon still looks good, and was planning on the upgrade anyway just yeah.. like i said... decision was made for me with the mates extreme reversing stylings, lol will post back in about a month i guess when the rest doesnt look so stock, hope it helps yas

hmm, I was actually looking at the do-luck or JUN kits from PSI, maybe a mix n match of the 2, but will have to save a bit for painting and fitting and delivery up here maybe in a months time or so have 2 make do for the time being

the pics don't do it justice really (camera phone) Im thinkin of getting some fenders on the car, possibly the veilside style, sprayed the cars silver, widen it up a bit, should contrast it a bit better make the bonnet appear a little smaller and the CF-black-ish a little less controlling plus gonna do the clear indicators, get rid of the orange on side and front, should look schmick then I was thinking about the rain, where the vents are anything electrical underneath seems covered or wrapped up. asked a few people what they reckon, i.e. other engineers like myself, mechanics etc. they reckon I should be alright, but we do get some pretty heavy downpoors in the wet, which should start in a few weeks if that guess I'll find out

As promised...

My 'war' was won when one of my mates accidentally backed his ute a little too far... into my car . lucky was a ute cos the hoods all he got. Anyway, ordered the blazer CF hood. Went to all the trouble of convincing the NTGov, managed to get a letter from the NT roads authority to say they're cool with it (which is still in post apparently). The hood arrived this morning, will be putting it on tonight. Should be able to post pics some time this week.

I have a 96 series 2 with the round indicators at the front in with the fog lamps. I have read the fog and indicator fittings are different. I have seen pictures around the web of some with clear or greyed front indicators, so now I'm asking where do I get these or how do I make them??? anyone?

I like the look of going flush and wingless. Any changes on getting some of the boots, or can you recommend anyone else who sells them?

Gday all got my 33 gtst back in jan/feb, only jus gettin on my grad wage now so hope to start doing it up bit by bit soon question for down the track (want to get zorst, FMIC, n boost controller sorted 1st) any1 know any good places to get a respray done up here? or to get body kits painted n matched? if so, rough idea of costs?

I have also done the dash and a/c buttons with Dans LEDs, and got some blue gel/film and put in front of the lcd's, but yeah, the AC is darker, and very hard to read in the day w/ peak sunlight. The other two bulbs that you dont replace when doing the LED swap over, you reckon its possible to change with brighter bulbs? has any1 heard of any1 doing this? do want
