Hi all,

Been playing and wanted something different for my car so decided to do an LED conversion on my R33 Rear Lights.

It's something I started as a hobby as can be seen on gtr.co.uk - although it's turned into a group buy in the UK.

Just thought I'd share my results and ask for a little feedback on the conversion - It's meant to be a little Z-Tune-ish style.

It may sound strange but there are over 800 LED's in total across the back of the car!

Anyway, opinions?

Oh, almost forgot, there is a Fog Lamp on the outside of each Reverse Lamp which wasn't wired up when the Vid was taken hence why there only appears to be a small Reverse Lamp.

Cheers,

Matt.

i cant see any difference? oh its a video... dont mind me :P

i was thinking about getting some LED rear lights and swapping about 10% of the Red LED's for blue ones to give it a unique tinge... i might still do that... have those ones on a switch though, as police around here are nasty...

im thinking about doing what you did with the front lights too :(

yeah im a big fan of it... how much did the lights cost you in the end?

im thinking of getting some BMW ones with angel eyes but i think they are a bit big for the skyline headlight...

The headlights cost me about £500 in parts as they are 2 sets of Bi-Xenon projectors etc.

The BMW Bi-Xenon units don't fit as the solenoid is too large.

I found the Audi units fit with no problems...

thats so hot ;)

wanna...... give em to me??? :)

or give me some info as to how to do it? and do those have angel eyes?

Developing the brackets that use the original mounts was the hardest part - they took a while and a bit of head scratching to get right.

Using the original mounts means the beams can be adjusted as per the standard headlights.

They don't have angel eyes, I do have 2 sets which I was going to install but they aren't to my personal taste really.

The conversion is actually very simple once you have all the parts and they took me about 4 or 5 hours from start to finish.

The main fuse has to be uprated from 10 or 20 Amps (Can't remember off the top of my head) to 30 Amps as the start-up draw current is quite high having twin sets.

i so wanna have a go at something like this... but i dont really have the cash flow for it at the moment... or a spare set of headlights :P

either way, the modification bug has been biting me really hard lately... i have to do something original (or rare) or im gunna die!

ill try and find out prices for headlights like these, but im sure i won't be able to afford it for a while... too much other stuff going on :O

    • So we have most the interior back in, and for the first time with one OEM speaker hooked up. The 31 is running, driving and now tunes!!! Hahaha yet another step for the sub that sat 10m under for two weeks!!! unbelievable really 👌 lots of love work and not giving up on her. Seen so many youngsters part way less, and in way better condition. I’m stubborn, thinking another problem is just a hurdle to overcome, One at a time. IMG_9277.mov
    • That is correct. I'm using a modified ABS ring and a ZF speed sensor on my rear diff for speed input. I'm running a Haltech ecu. 
    • Been busy with the newborn. We originally thought we were going to go for a third, but we're good with two lol. He's starting to actually sleep now so I've had some energy to work on the car. It's been parked away in the garage since late November due to winter.  I went ahead and redid all my head oil drains. I originally had my front and rear head drain going into the same pipe but have since split them up. I also added an Ethanol content sensor to get ready to run E85 this summer. Tossed it on my return line. Sensor sits nicely under my intake manifold.    I also have a lot of parts that came in for my rear end. I'll be swapping over to a 3.3 final drive and doing the GK teck anti squat mod. While the rear subframe is off, I'll also change every bushing. We're planning on buying another house soon with the condition that I get at a minimum a 2 door garage, so I'll wait to have more room for this. Now onto the strange things that recently happened... After changing the lower rad hose (It had been sitting in my cabinet for well over a year and was the last hose I had to replace), I let the car idle in the garage to bleed my coolant. After running for a few minutes, it started missing. Got much worst within a minute or two and then stalled and would not restart. My crank sensor decided to crap itself. No damage, no explanation, just died. I went ahead and replaced it with another ZF sensor but the heavier duty stainless model with a shield. Tossed that in and started right up. Has anyone else seen this? I hate when things fail without cause. Luckily this was a blessing in disguise... This lead me to recheck my timing. It seems I may have had a beer or two the last time I had set my TDC angle as I was off exactly 5 degrees... I miscounted a line haha. I was running 5 degrees less then commanded. It's a little embarrassing but helps explain why my dyno operator seemed to think I should be making more then 478rwkws.        
    • Sharing results from recent Liberty Walk R35 GTR, since they are still considered as somesort of a V36 Skyline. We do them turbos too. This are high flowed SS-1 models with ball bearing conversion done.  Car have managed to pull 485awkws @ 20Psi so far pushing limitations of factory built engine. The build list for R35 GTR enthusiasts as follow : HyperGear high flowed stock turbos in SS1 (G25-660 specs) Custom titanium intake pipes. Vspec performance titanium front pipes. Vspec performance 4" titanium exhaust. Upgrade fuel pumps. 1200cc injectors. Ignition coilpacks Hks intake plenum. Hks intercooler piping. Greddy intercooler. Greddy bovs. Top-secret coolant reservoir. Emtron ecu. Straight E85. Built gear box.  
    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
