looks great cara, how did you do it? and what kinda cost was involved?

took the lights out of the cover, cleaned them up really really well with wax and grease remover, did it a few times to make sure there was no crap at all on them

them just got the VHT nightshades and did light coats till i was happy with the darkness i wanted.

i also did my side indicators and front ones too :(

very nice, where can one find this night shade stuff? what is it exactly?

it's a spray on tint ..comes in aerosol can. From what I've read about it before the stuff looks pretty 'matte' black but looking at the photo above it's very shiny so there you go.

Hey Cara what's your suspension height (centre of wheel to wheel arch) front and back ? :(

Hey Cara what's your suspension height (centre of wheel to wheel arch) front and back ? :D

um i got the tape measure out and from the centre of the wheel to the wheel arch is 13.5 on the front and 14 on the back....not sure whether it is in mm or inches dosent say :)

Cara i gotta' admit .. looks nice.

cheers dude

you can buy the VHT nightshades from any automotive store :(

extend it to 14 again - is it longer than a foot? or is it around 6"? I doub't you've got wheels on a 34 that on only just bigger than wheels of a mini :) so it'd be inches.

ummm... where's the reflector?

no reflector = defect time.

well spotted......

and those tail lights dont show much actual light when they are on.....i might have to take a pic of mine tonight and see how much light comes thru......but i think its alot more than that :)

tinting lights (both front and rear) has always puzzled me. while it may look cool (to some people) during the day, at night you are reducing your visibility (more chance of someone running up your arse if they are tinted too dark and when the brakes are on only look as bright as normal lights) and with the headlights you are reducing how bright your lights are. i hate driving cars with dull headlights.

now you might think that i should shut my mouth if i have nothing to say, but in fact i was making a point that tinting your lights makes your chances of having an accident higher, and also increases your chance of having your insurance company refuse to pay after said accident because of illegal modifications to lights, and could even possibly have you blamed for the accident if a car runs into the back of you (where as normally it is the person following who is at fault).

    • Hi, We've all posted some thread, or know of some other person's thread, that contains information that we want to send people who are asking question to. But if we don't have a link readily available, have to go do a search for the thread before being able to do so. So, it occurred to me that we could possibly utilise the auto-text-replace function that fixes some of my swear words to perhaps auto replace some special keywords with text that also has a link to the thread. A specific example. The thread that I did with the improved R32 GTR wiring diagram scans. If the phrase "R32 GTR wiring diagram" could be auto replaced with "R32 GTR wiring diagram" then all I (or @Duncan, or any of the others that refer to the thread) need to do is remember that that's the keyword (or phrase in this case). OK, it would be better if this keyphrase wasn't that long, but it does need to be specific enough that it doesn't get triggered automatically. And obviously there are threads on turbo topics, or suspension topics that we could treat similarly. Alternatively (and/or additionally), I've been thinking about trying to build a library of the real expert content that is trapped in the bowels of the 25odd years of this site. Things like some of SydneyKid's content. There are threads that he started that should be more easily found, and he has individual posts, or series of posts, in other people's threads, containing very good information. Some of us know that it is there, but....just have no memory of exactly where/when/how we saw it. If we had some sort of library thread, we could put posts in there containing links to things we've found, suggestions for how to categorise it, then a mod or other appointed thread maintainer can copy the link and any key text up into the first post in the library thread. There are probably many other ways to get it done. Some sort of wiki is probably the best way.   Thoughts?
    • But, probably that happened to the last person too, which is why the RTV was there.....if you aren't putting a new gasket in you will need to seal the old gasket back to the metal surface with something, the gaskets will generally only work properly for a single use as they set/harden in that shape
    • What is with the horrible blue and white bit in the centre of the wheels, didn't that come off with some scrubbing?
    • Not sure how broadly you define Northside  but Castle Hill Exhaust are still around and could sort it.
    • I haven't done this as I still use the factory cluster, but I do know the circuits for the flash vs on for hi beam are separate which is likely the issue. The ON runs full power through the switch and the flash uses the relay in the engine bay. I'd hit the wiring diagram per GTSBoy's suggestion
