Hey, My R32 GTST came with one of those add on things that go over the top of the Word skyline which makes it light up (blue or green)

Does anyone know anything about them...i really wanna connect it and i heard that ya have to have some special relay or something

I also heard that they were an optional extra when buying a skyline new...and u could select either Green or blue

Is it just better to buy a small neon or getting the right relay...or simply connecting it up again???

Thanks!

anything is possible really

what you could possibly do is place mirrors in there so that it reflects the red through the word when u break and when u dont it shines back to blue or whatever colour you want

you would need some sort of kill switch to cut the current when u press the brakes so that the blue turns off

I've got the blue/green ricey "SKYLINE" on my 33. I had the car for two weeks before someone else pointed it out !! You gotta scrape the mylar foil off the lettering (ie remove the panel) light goes in behind, wired to GND and switched thru taillights, hey presto you're the son of rajab Of The Rice ( one rice to rule them all).

Personally I reckon it would be quite a mission, but I guess it looks cool enuff to some folks to warrant the effort.

hope this helps.

It's definitely aftermarket, 'cos the Jap who installed it didn't scrape off all the mylar, & just twisted bare wires together & wrapped a bit of masking tape around the whole lot....dodgey !!

hmm unsure of that one...i guess if u put neons behind it and have them so u cant see the direct light and only the glow..then should be all good

Should be fine as well with the glowing off the chrome...but who knows

U will know if u have one cos it is a stick on plastic thing...at the moment i have mine in bits...cos the acual factory light blew up...probably cos i found it full of water...and im currently trying to put neons in it...i have those flexi EL wire ones but the glow isnt bright enough...i mught just get blue perspec's and put lots of LED's in it insteed...will look cool when finnished...hopefully!!!

U will be lucky if u can find one cos to fit it u need to drill holes into the existing bumper and they use a Sh!tload of glue crap...and its impossible to not rip paint off when taking the glue off...ill hopefully post a pic when i have finnished mine

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      By sonicii · Posted

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
