Light On Skyline Logo On Bak Of Car

[Samon]

I'm planning to do that on my S1 33 (with the clear SKYLINE panel). I've got a can of touch-up paint made up, the plan is to spray the whole 'garnish', then use a sharp blade to gently scratch off the paint over the top of the letters. Then, I'm going to dremel out the back of the garnish and mount some LED's in there. These will be wired to come on with my taillights I think... I may go with an extra switch (but still hooked into the tail-lights so I don't leave them on by accident and flatten my battery)... we'll see!

I'll post up some pics when it's all done.

You gotta love guys you do a favour for than get smart cause it was late. Every one want's something for free don't they!

I think it also looks like a great mod! I'm going to look into it a bit more. Doesn't look to difficult. Hope your finger gets better! You are a Dr anyway so you should be fine. lol

Yeah I know, Zilch is a bastard STILL hasn't paid for the whole thing yet!

I installed another one just last night too on a white 33, it's the first pic in my sig... goes red on brakes...

I'm starting to think about different colours and designs too... Got a lot of ideas in my head and a few schematics drawn up, but it all costs money unfortunately...

I didnt even know that mine lit up until i checked to see if my tail ights were working 2 days after i bought it.

With the LEDs, do you need to add some resistors into the mix? Just remembering how I blew a LED in my air-con unit after 3 seconds . Oops...

Absolutely! If you know the specs for the LED's you're using, here is a little tool to calculate what size resistors you should use: http://led.linear1.org/led.wiz

LOL Doofy, well if I must... For the record Doof and I are good friends, we're just slagging each other(happens a lot)

I came round a corner too fast in Neutral Bay last week, straight into an RBT.

Got a stern talking to and while they were running my license, rego etc. One of the senior constables comes up and says, that's a real cool idea you have on the back there with that light up panel but I don't think you should have the blue LEDs. I politely informed that some R33s came like this from factory only they were green to which he was pretty stumped. He then decided that it still wasn't acceptable for the road and that only red was allowed It's still pink however

They also tried to defect my gauges but thankfully never asked me to pop the bonnet as then I'd be screwed. Got off without a speeding fine as well

So my advice, just go Red, it looks mad anyway, especially on a black or similarly dark coloured car.

If you want to change yours Zilch, I can do it for a lot less cause we already have the facia, it's painted, and the mounting points for the electronis too... Plus I can re-use the one in yours too...

I can switch it around so it's red, then more red on brakes, or you can get really tricky with the same type of circuit, but swap out the blue for something else... maybe orange or ultra violet? Hell... I can even get colour changing ones if you REALLY want to get in trouble

PS: Come to the meet tonight

[Zilch*]

yeah ok I'll be there, with the last $100 too

[DRD-00F]

oh yay!

Coming all the way?

anyway, move to the Cruise thread, this isn't really the palce to talk about it
