One thing I've always been curious about is how people tint there tail lights, indicators etc. Is there a particular paint you can buy or a particular process you use use to tint/smoke lights or indicators? Or is it something that needs to be done professionally? In most cases I've looked at it almost looks like a dark clear paint has been spray over the top of it (or inside it?) to give it its finish.

Cheers,

Night Shades - available from supercheap etc, youll find it hidden on the shelves somewhere....

Illegal too, but looks good...

Best way, take the lights off put them side by side and do heaps of thin light coats untill you have desired darkness.....

My mate stuck a layer of gloss over them to and they look much better.,..

ive got a can of nightshades in my cupboard, along with some clear coat...

bought it with the intention to add a bit of tint to my rear indicators on my R33, but never got around to it....

should cost you about $14 for the can...look for the dude with the dark glasses on a silver/blue can with a black lid :D

    • Hi all,  I have a older model of the Greddy Front facing intake on an RB25DET NEO Head. I've bought aeroflows fuel rail and injector kit (1000cc Bosche injectors) and I'm unsure if the fitment is correct. The injector o-rings fit in the intake hole but it's not snug. I can very easily rotate the injectors even when the fuel rail is mounted. The kit also came with multiple adaptors, they dont make it any more snug and using them raises the injectors up and i cant mount the fuel rail. I hope this makes sense I've asses a few photos.    Thanks so much guys. 
    • So, to run the 4g aerials to the booster, I had to get access to the rear bulkhead....bit of a mission. Hot tip, don't offer to help change the rear shocks for a mate with a v37.... Remove seat base, 2 clips that slide forward to release it the it lifts straight out Fold down rear seat (pull in from boot) The side bolster of the rear seat is not connected to the middle parts that fold. To remove unbolt at the bottom bolt then push it up off the top hook Then there is a plastic surround behind the seat back, 2 pop out clips, 2 bastard clips, some swearing at it is out Pop the rear seat latch surround off Remove door surround lower trim then side trim  Remove c pillar trim - 4 clips, pull inwards not forwards Remove metal brace - 5 bolts 1 nut Then you have got to the rear strut top...what a pain!
    • If you really want squish back, you can have it put on the piston (at least to some extent).
