Sorry buddy, was out late today and didn't have a chance to get pics, will definately get some and post em up tomorrow night.

On a side note, been stopped now by two R33 drivers commenting on the SKYLINE panel :)

i did a setup like this on my 180sx i had a few years back. got the idea off a GT starlet that had a light up garnish. i just used a 8" neon and some alfoil to make it reflect like a headlight. worked well enough. going to do it to the skyline when i could be bothered.

Hey guys, I used to have one of the light up panels, believe it was genuine but who knows. . .

Used to until someone ran into the back of me anyways. the day after I got the car!!

Tried to get a replacement one but the only person I talked to who could get one wanted like $700 to get it in from Japan!

Ended up with the boring Silver painted panel. . .

The 'Skyline' writing has white paint on it applied from the inside, and the rest is just normal clear plastic, i think

Oh well

Later

yeah thats the genuine EL panel ones..

got a questions regarding this bread board ..

how do you cut it down to size neatly?

just picked some up for this other panel im doing... but instead of 5 rows that you need, its about 40 rows, but long enough to do the whole panel..

any hints?

I used a metal ruler and 'stanley' knife, then used a "bench mounted, grinding wheel" to smooth the edges. Or you can just use a file, it's only fibre-glass

yeah sweet

didn't get to see your post til now, but thats pretty much what i did anyway:)

cheers for that

might end up redoing my panel with 2 stage lights and run the 2V LED's that aare the 7000mva or whatever .. see how it goes

Mine came stock with the car from japan, lights up blue. Didn't even no till i got home When i rang him up a few days later i asked him bout it and he said its an optional extra when u buy the car brand new over there, i'll take a pic at night and post it. i Dont know how its done and aint gonna try to find out on my own car, cause why f**k with somethin that aint broke haha

you can't have white pointing back unless it is the number plate light. otherwise cars may think it is a headlight.

i had a nice officer explain this to me one night. i didn't have any lights on my car, but i was just asking him because he had pulled me over because he was bored.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
