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 :)

I wish I can see em in real life, as I too realised photos wouldn't show how good they look in person :)

HOLY CRAP first you hook me up with some awesome dash lights, now your trying to do a LED Tail Light Kit, very impressed and very interested in a set for a 4door sedan :D, keep up the great work and hopefully it all falls into place.

wont be able to do any others for about 3 weeks (holidays, racing etc)

They need to be installed into your factory housings so if you are happy to be without taillights for a week (1-2 days fitting and return postage) im happy to do them for $500 including return postage.. If you need your taillights because its a daily im looking at buying a spare set and doing it on an exchange basis for the same price (but a $100 retainer that will be refunded when your lights reach me to ward off people trying to keep both)

If you are interested say so here or PM me and ill start up a group buy.

Here are some more build pics

underbody coat to protect wiring and joins from the elements and corrosion etc, plus it looks nicer.

I have had another person ask for indicators, it wouldnt be too hard at all. they would obviously cost a little more and take longer as I wouldnt release it until i was sure that it worked flawlessly..

as a side note, took the car down to canberra and they were perfect all the time, even survived a -4degree night covered in ice

does the black backing make the lights look 'tinted' when they're not on? have you pulled apart a Nismo set? do they mount on black backing? i've got the Qest ones, they look great and are made very nicely but back is too light, i want the OEM look like Nismo.

I take it these are brighter than Nismo?

Depending on how close the discs are mounted, you don't really notice anything, the better option is to spray them RED, or Silver and they are seemless, our old kits used a fairly heavy silk-screened and soldered board, but the larger one had to be mounted further back to avoid uneveness in the LED ring (you'll notice some kits go blurry for about 25% of the ring where they're not parallell to the red lens)

Hey Daniel I just went outside and took a photo so you can see for yourself, I dont think they do and look as per factory minus being able to see the LED's which is exactly the same as genuine nismos as I was lucky enough to have a friend with a set that let me get nice and close to look at it all but didnt pull it apart as we were far from home.

I will try and mount the boards further back for some people if they prefer to hide the LED's a bit as my set are basically a test set till I buy another set of lights to 'experiment' on

here you go

    • I swear at my GKTech ones every time I have to take them apart and replace a spherical. But I wouldn't swap them for anything else. They absolutely slay every other option, at least in terms of how they actually work. You sure you don't want to live with bearings? I mean, they don't have "ball bearings". They are rod ends and sphericals throughout. Tough as nuts, even though I have found more than one way to wear them out.
    • From when I was looking at getting the 86 engineered for the turbo, the joint said to put in a few euro 5 or 6 cats, then tune the car on a nice clean E85 tune When I was looking at a turbo for the MX5, it was basically the same thing, a couple of cats and a nice clean tune Although, it will depend on the year of the Jeep IRT emmisions standards required, and what mods are done, especially if it has a newer engine installed that requires a higher Euro
    • Yeah - but it's not actually that easy. There are limits for HC, CO, NOx and particulates. Particulates shouldn't be a concern in any petrol engine unless trying to comply to the very latest Euro standard. But getting a tune right so that all the others stay within limits AT THE SAME TIME is not a trivial exercise. You couldn't possibly get it right by just guessing at the tuner's dyno, unless he had a 4 gas analyser up the pipe, which is not often the case these days. It used to be. Every decent shop that did "tune ups" (as opposed to tuning) would have a 4 gas analsyer. Perhaps there's still quite a few of them around these days. But most "tuners" are only watching O2 and power readings.
    • Slight segway but the most expensive part of the whole thing which I would have thought would only be required for an engine size/type swap, not a VIV test, is emissions testing.  That's when you get into the big bucks.  I can't remember the exact price now but I got quotes for the GT-R based on swapping to RB30 (not that anyone bothers doing it legally anymore...) and it was around $4500 just for that alone.  The guy that does them manipulates the tune on the vehicle to make sure it passes.  The cheaper option is to book into Kangan Batman Tafe (I think that's where it was) and hire their tester.  Allegedly you're not allowed in there with the car though so not in a position to tweak anything to make sure the vehicle passes.  I'm sure in this day and age of ultra tuneable ECU's you could get the tuner to program a special efficiency (clean) tune that emits the lowest amount of particulates possible that would pass the test.  It might only make 50kW's but as long as it passed who cares!
    • I'm sure he has left signs, or, he is looking down, laughing That's my cunning plan for when I leave, lots of half finished projects, with no rhyme or reason of where I was actually up to, just to keep everyone on their toes
