Hey guys n gals,

I've got a rear R33 skyline garnish that i've modified so that the SKYLINE letters light up red, im sure alot of you have heard/seen them. Thought i was purchasing a R33 but never went through with it so i have it sitting in my room. It is primed black and ready for you to spray it the colour of your car.

I've attached pictures but they aren't the best because was taken with my phone. It still has the tape over the letters, took the S tape off to show how it will look for photos (obviously still needs paint and clear coat), but have put tape back over it for sale.

Any questions please ask. will post anywhere in Australia.

umm for moderators sake ill put price of $300 ono

Thanks,

Mitch

Sorry mate, 300 is crazy...

I did mine for 60 bux worth of bits from Jaycar... U did a good job, but I would think this thing should only go for 100-120...

gl if u get the price want!

like i said, i put that price up just for mods sake.

good on you for making it that cheap, but it actually cost me from scratch, garnish lights wiring paint etc. Cheers

Really? wow I didnt want it to seem rude, If ur selling it just to get ur moneys worth back on it,

But i did it from scratch too...... how expensive were the lights/wiring and paint for you?

My LED strip for the back was 50 bucks, wiring and switch 10 bucks, I got my panel beater to paint it and matched to my petrol tank cover for free as he owed me, I sanded the letters back myself and I had some silicon in my garage to waterproof it....

Mine cost a butt load to make... but it's a bit more advanced then most :huh:

To be honest, there's a hundred different ways to do it. If you just use an LED strip or something like that, it's cheap. If you build the strip yourself, the electronics for it add up to about $80 alone... then there's the cost of the actual facia, the wiring, painting and sometimes installation.

I've sold a few for $300, I didn't think it was unreasonable... but they were 2 colours...

ive seen a few of urs doof, they are always excellent... I just seriously want to know how it cost 300 for this guy to make essentially wot I did for 60...

with multiple colours and moving lights etc etc I can see how the electronics can get alot more expensive, but this just seems basicly the same as mine.

I didn say it cost me $300 to make mine.. i dont know what they are worth so $300 is just whats popped in my head, like ive said im taking offers. plus id like to make some money for the time and effort that i put into making it :cheers:

    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
