any chance you can set them up like the nismo gt leds instead of just circle ?

Anything is possible :( But no, the cost would balloon out if I start getting additions made to the current design. As it would require more template cutting and hand soldering by the manufacturer.

oh wow looking good dan!

are these tail light going to come with the whole housing or we have to take it apart and fit the new stuff in the original housing?

cant wait!

Unfortunately not with the housing, unless I can start picking them up cheaply. Just waiting on some quotes for some laser cut mounts, but the DIY should be fairly stress free. Taking the lenses out just involves putting them in the oven at 80c and then popping them out quickly with a screwdriver.

OK here are some pictures, I apologise for the random angle they’re taken from (I don’t have a tripod) some are with my Pentax, the others with the phone. The phone produces the deeper red which is truer to the actual colour. Either way they look really good in person :)

How much are we looking at at the moment? :P

OK this is still highly dependant on the DIY-ness of the kit. As it currently is, it's not do-able as the supplied PCB's for the LEDs were too fragile. A good day of driving managed to crack a rail supply power to the LEDs so not happy jan.

I've just sent them the diagrams for the new boards to be remade (which are as tough as old boots)

Still hoping for ~$300 a kit, closer to $500 if I supply the tail lights as well. Somewhere in the middle is if I do the install for you.

Too easy mate, the new boards will arrive with me on the 25th June and be ready to go :D

Already had lots of comments from people out and about (I've explained the current 'broken' LEDs haha) they like the look with a more continuous ring.

My only comment based on the latest set of pics is that the inner ring looks 'fuller' than the outer ring, and whether a double-ring in the outer set would fix this up. A bit late now obviously though :)

Yeah the pictures don't do it justice, I wish I could be driving behind my car all the time, at night it's mesmorizing :rofl:

    • Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.
    • I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want. 
    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue. 
    • Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder
    • Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
