This one is 28 bucks with an inverter and a case.

I'm gonna be gettin 2 red ones tomorrow to use behind my light up panel, hopefully they'll be the same colour as my brakelights :)

This month's catalogue is here

The one I'm gettin is this:

100MM Tubes $11.95 with free inverter

300MM Tubes $19.95 with free inverter

I reckon one or 2 300mm tubes should be enough to light up my arse end of the car ;)

Its all dirt cheap and has many uses (including ricing up your ride)

..$28 is nothing special for CCFL's... most PC shops have them for $30 with the inverter all the time and the sound module.. I think you can get them $20 - $25 if you look around..

Jaycar ones are shit too - you are better off with the PC-type ones

memphis: haha ... i wanna see that :D

btw: thanx for the site update, i just ordered then

don't tell dj_lethal aobut a sale on these things... he'll go evenmore nuts!

lol.. i think he can get them for $20 or something..

yer i was gonna rice out my skyline logo and other things but i got distracted by 50 other things.. time to get back to the ricing

make sure you paint over the letters if it's for a ser 1 R33 as you can't see them when the lights on... kinda defeated the purpose for me...

this is before painting them... looks okay now though...

didn't like the red that was available...was a real bright, off-putting colour... i thought, "if that's all that's available, i may as well contrast" .....

it lights up the whole word if you entre it correctly... may have to trim the black plastic off of the ends of the tubes....

    • 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.

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!
