Hey just curious but I noticed my R32 where the Skyline word is normally embossed on the back of the car. I've got this extra panel on top of it where the words are backed by a silver transparent material.

after some browsing online I found that it was an optional light up panel which glowed a lowlit green at night when the lights were on.

I know its normally disconnected during compliance but I'm just wondering if anybody has managed to get there's working again and whether it looks good. also wondering if its easy to reconnect?

I just know that green may look a little retarded so I'm just also wondering if anyone has managed to change the colour at all?

I got the factory option light up panel on mine... but the EL wasn't working, so I pulled it apart, put some LED's in it, wired up a controller... and I got...

normally the whole thing lights up when braking, but I can choose to make it do the knightrider thing.

its a seperate panel that sits on top of the rear bumper (urathane'd on usually). If you have a stock bumper only then the word skyline will be embossed into it. If you have a light up panel it'll be clear with a silver mirror backing behind it (not embossed).

You'll know it if you have it :P

    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
    • Can try Maxima. Or random Infiniti models from the same era. Good luck with your hunt, let us know what you find!
