So it started out with buying blue replacment LED's for the clusters from 666DAN... but my climate controll lights didnt work, i honestly didnt even know if they were meant to have lights..

took it all appart to find that i had everything needed to turn the existing blown bulbs into blue LED's laying about in my workshop...

Looks SWEET now, gonna have a go at getting the LCD backlight blue tomorrow maybe...

I was also thinking about mounting 2 blue LED's inside the air vents so small amounts of blue light comes out of the vents... But on the other hand... That might be too much blue, As the new sterio is gonna be blue theamed aswell.

If i decide to do the Air vent LED's does anyone know the easiest spot to tap into the light circuit?

Thats sick! I really want to get mine done, but I've run into so much trouble with it. My last attempt killed one of the LED's. Couldn't find a replacement, so got a whole AC unit replaced.

My original unit was from a series 2 so it had different lights.. now I'm not even sure what LED globes I need from Dan666..... *sigh*

you need to place a resistor in series with the LED to limit the current, other wise it basically shorts out the unit.

i used 2* 180 ohm resistors giving 360ohm total that limited the current to around 25mA whish is the value that these specific LED's create the maximum light output

Slightly off topic but does anyone know how to even out the bright vs dull spots on the dash? I too have recently fitted white multi-angle LED's (from 666DAN) to my R34GTR.

Don't think it's possible man. I've got this kit of 666DAN also and it's the best it can be afaik. I think red LED's make it perfect but.

Here is my setup... I've changed the double DIN HU to Snigle and put a consult display unit underneath.

very nice.... i like it..

You can never have too much blue lol i can barely see out my windscreen at night so many cobalt guages in my face, lol looks maad but i think a lower voltage transformer or somethin might be in order....

Looks cool man.

That looks really sick mate. To bad I can't make mine Blue I'm force to do it red. Main reason is the R34 GT T series II has a film over the dash so on well I am happy for you. It turn out really nice and sick :D . Think of blue neon above the pedals and under seat as well.

    • Isn't there a fitting on the back of the balance tube? That's what the OEM boost gauge uses.
    • Getting a decent signal from all 6 throats is a challenge. I don't know for sure, but I suspect that the stock balance tube is not ideal for it. I have done it on an ALFA 4 cylinder (about 35 years ago, so don't ask for too many details). We drilled 4x holes in the manifold runners, put in some fittings and ran hoses to a decent sized (I think it was about 20mm diameter) pipe that ran the length of the inlet manifold. So, it was quite a decent volume. There is a "tuning" balance to be found between the volume of the common plenum on such a thing and the diameter of the pipes running from it to the runners. You need the volume to be large enough to damp out the sharp spikes in pressure signal you get as each runner gets sucked on by its cylinder, but not so large that it becomes too slow to respond to actual changes in MAP. And you need the hoses to be small enough to transmit the signal quickly, but not so small that they delay the signal. You might have to have more than one go at it, if there isn't any actual success based wisdom to be had here. Hopefully there is. Anyway, I would not do it on only a couple of cylinders. I would also not care about "permanently modifying a part". Just bloody drill holes and make stuff better. There is nothing sacred about any GTR unless it is a genuine museum piece that you shouldn't be modifying at all anyway.
    • He's still joining you, he's just delayed it and won't have the fulleh sick ITBs...
    • The strange thing is this is a URAS front bumper (or clone of it). The bumper actually does not sit flush with the GTT hood - You need the addon to make the hood 'long' enough to reach the bumper. I have no idea why they didn't incorporate this piece into the bumper itself.. instead of sticking it to the hood instead.
    • Another thought on this OLD topic: When you paint your bonnet lip, leave a small unpainted back lip/line along the back of the lip, where it rests on the bumper. That way, the line in the back is much more prominent than the gaps in the front/under the lip - and it breaks the hood-to-bumper connection at the "correct" place, when comparing to a GTR. I'm gonna do this with mine this week, so stay tuned for pics!
