its wired up to the brake lights but i chose to wire it up with the wires that would light up when i turn on the lights and not when i brake.. am i making sense here? i dont know how to put it in a shorter and less confusing sentence...

i sprayed the garnish to fit the car color (but it doesnt :D ) , cos the garnish is clear and the leds would be too bright, i put some masking tape over the letters, was planning to peel em out after i sprayed the garnish, but when i fitted it on b4 peeling the tape out, it looked good enough. had that 'embossed' look. so was happy leaving the masking tape on ;) ..

about the color, anyone know where i can get the exact colors for touch up in a spray can? color is gmg..

I bought my touch up paint from 3d paint, give them the colour code from under your bonnet and they have the mixture in their system as long as it is an original colour.

Can you buy the series one fascia that you need anyone? im really keen to do this :D

I rang a jap wreckers in brisbane cost me 50bucks posted to CQ, 60 dollars for leds(30'000; brightest i could find) bout 60cents for resistors. and 40 for paints so far.

Heres mine so far, except the gap between the top and main part has been filled with sickaflex and painted....only problem im having is painting around the letters, its sorta mounding from the letter to the back part on a 45degree angle sorta and not squaring off?¿? if ya can understand what im trying to say.

I painted mine black everywhere bar the letters, then gone white everywhere, so it looks like a normal series 2 during day. shines through well enough i believe.

DR D00F, thats really cool. Do they flash or something? Or fade? Is that ur car? What happened 2 ur plates?

They go red on brakes... I'm thinking about making either a flashing blue one for shows to go with the neons on the car (programmable) or to make it flash a number of different colours, or just ultra violet :laugh: Haven't quite decided... all will cost me about $280 to $300...

Im surprised there's no easy way to get this done thru ebay or something.

I want mine to light up!

There is an easy way :) either through me or MLT15E (also on the forums) but I have yet to actually sell one cause people get scared at the price :bunny:

Ppl have to understand that they are not cheap to make. Ive been making mine since August last year, i want it to be perfect :D (paintings the problem)

Some bloke wanted to buy the original green off a mate for $900, apparently he couldnt work out how to get it off at the time ??? have you got a photo of the circuitry for a special one, do you use a lot of LEDs on one board or just the one colour?

yeah it's not some backyard job... I get my painting done at a proffesional spray painters...

Depends what you mean by special really... I don't know if I have made a special one just yet... been busy in life and stuffs, hopefully one will get made in the next few months after I move (again) :)

How much are you selling these for mate? Interested

I read somewhere once you could buy a new original one through nissan for around 600?????

Well that makes mine cheap as! :P

$350 for everything, $50 less if you can get a good series 1 (clear) facia to me :)

did mine recently, looks mad as! :laugh:

Piccies?! :D

Cheers.

It does a bit actually! :D

Sorry I didn't see this before...

Nah that's not my car, it's on Cassbo's car :( That one is fairly ordinary, doesn't do much... I'll be working on a strobing, flashing, controllable one soon, but it will take a LOT of time (I might have some of that soon! :P) and quite a bit of money...

EDIT: Turns out I did see this before and already answered it :D

LED, and no, as you can see they are pretty evenly spread...

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!

      Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!

      Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
