Wow that does look great, but I agree, too much light coming off that side LED takes the focus from around the bulb where the illuminated ring is... Can this 'angel eyes' addition be linked to another led that shines down in front of the airdam where the intercooler is, like this BMW one?

Not questioning whether it is or not... However, WHY would it be illegal? Having that neon/led shining down the front of the airdam...

Not sure about the laws in Perth, but in QLD and NSW any neon, even inside of the car that shows while driving is illegal, i think one of the reasons was that it is a distraction to drivers. The neon in the front of the BMW is the same as having an underbody kit. Its fine for show, but illegal to drive with them on. I was told that angel eyes are illegal in all colours except white.

That is such a crock.... Anyways, thanks mate! I'll dig a little deeper and check out the WA laws...

still not quite finished on my headlight design yet, but theres an example of my handy work
at night there not really that bright........they put off a fair bit but its more for an effect and not a purpose if ya get what i mean.....

i bought em as a complete kit from a local wholesaler in adelaide, theyre actual spot lights with an angel ring

looks mean as hell with the bumper, il post a pic........havnt got one at night though, im still in the process of getting some perspex covers made to make it look like i have proper headlights instead of 2 pairs of high powered spotties

You have a mental looking ride. I LOVE 33's more then any other series (personally). When can i see this car in real life :worship:;)

      I was more thinking so it doesn't flop around as much rather than for rotating it. Once you have the balance right, it should rotate well enough, depending on how much resistance there is on the pivot. I think you said the pivot point was on a bearing though didn't you?

      You can get them with the worm drive rotator but I was too tight to pay another $250-$300 so manual labour it is! I don't think it will be too hard to rotate though.

      Sag as in the windows start to slowly open themselves, or they're just slow to go up/down with engine off?

      It looks like it needs a big worm gear drive on it to control the rotating, not a few sloppy pins!

      R32gtr sputtering and stalling

      As Duncan said, first there was OBD, which few cars used, then came OBD2.   Now an interesting point, OBD2 isn't even for what you want to do. OBD2 is for emissions testing. There is some sensor data on OBD2, but it's up to the manufacturer what they're putting on it. Most scan tools operate on UDS, which like OBD2 is a standard built on-top of CAN. UDS specifies how to structure a message, what very limited things mean such as "read memory address" but it does not specify what is stored in which memory address, that is all up to the manufacturer. You either a scan tool compatible with that vehicle, or to know how to reverse engineer all the data, which can take a VERY long time and a lot of vehicles to get it right. Oh and then the manufacturer does a firmware update and changes what's where... Ask me how I know that as fact Oh, and by the time you've got the scan tool that supports all the manufacturers stuff, well, you're back at "But a consult cable and the Nissan software" The main difference being most manufacturers software these days works with the same hardware readers, as the readers are built to support J2534 which is another standard for how the PC communicates with the tool to make it do specific things on the car...
