So i just put in some Red Dash lights and they look great!!! They look very nice and a great vivid Red. Gonna get a Red boost gauge to match now, lol.

One thing that sucks is my RPM needle... The Speed needle looks great! and looks like a defi gauge, it lights up VERY bright and looks awesome! but the RPM needle is super dark and doesnt light up at all...

Is there another light i need to change to make it brighter? Or is this normal in R33 Gts-t?

Thanks :D

thats strange. your factory boost gauge isnt lit up either, and i know it's the same bulb that lights that entire dial. could it be the uneven spread of light that leds are prone to?

maybe try swapping the lights around as suggested above. or try a regular bulb in that side. if it lights up ok, you know the problem is the led.

i just put philips crystal vision parker bulbs in my dash, and it lights up pretty even across the dials, and very bright too!

      Interesting. My tuner said after the tune that my fuel economy would be better but it is the exact same from what I could tell even though my car was running rich before lol. How much do km do you reckon you get on a full tank of petrol on your commute?

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      By PranK · Posted

      A little follow up here on the ceramic coating.  We've had storms galore here and I've done a few ks, enough to gross them up  Consensus is that they didn't get as dirty as usual, the coating definitely repelled a little of the dirt and I think they kinda snowball. They get a little dirty and then they get dirty faster which makes sense. Cleaning them regularly would allow them to protect better.  Cleaning was a breeze. I tried first to just hose them off which, unsurprisingly, did nothing. But, making the wheels wet and then just wiping them over with a used but clean microfibre cloth was all that was required. I didn't need any cleaner at all, just water and a cloth. The wheels look amazing again.

      Gave her a nice wash today and took extra time to clean off the tree sap and tar and crap. We have a usable garage now so she'll stay cleaner longer. Took a few snaps in some nice light afterwards.

      OK, solid mount Z1 diff brace is in, pretty straightforward, it picks up 3 diff hat bolts and ties them to 2 support bolts on the subframe. Pretty sure someone else on here said they had reduced axle tramp with this but mine was already pretty good for smooth wheelspin, and still is....will see you this goes over time and whether I end up with a broken rear diff hat

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Ah yes, but the part in my hand was actually painted and fitted by me! I knew any front lip was likely to be sacrificial but I've had to fix it twice already... by the time I buy a fibreglass fixing kit, sort out sandpaper blocks, buy some fibreglass filler, body bog, spend the time and effort for a 'Greg' result... a new one being $290 seems like it's the better way to go and spray that with bedliner/raptor coat and we're all pretty again.. Would have preferred it last more than a month though. Them's the breaks I suppose.
