Im in progress of finding LEDS to fit in the orginal casing of the rear lights, so it looks amazing at night. iIm also wondering if its posible to digitalise the interior for example digital speedo like the r35 gtr and also changing the center console gauges but leaving them in the orginal casing but make them digital somehow.

tbh, the led rear lights dont look that good, especially if you can see the individual diodes, makes it look worse.

there's no modernising the tailend, but i like it that way i guess, as for the interior, if you can figure out how to modernise that centre console, would be good.

but i do like the dash design.

Led's dont really suit the car ... but if you like it go for it !!

Motec... though technically thats not a modern dash... its a racecar dash.

SOmeone in the projects section us fitting a 350z interior into an R32... that would be my choice for 'modernization'.

Anyone know where to get digital speedos etc?

got digital rpm,boost and oil pressure

make your way down to autobahn and buy the drift iridium series there fairly pricy when i got mine roughly 300 ea when i got mine comes in blue and red

If I had to pick the LED's it'd be the first pic as it still kind of keeps the stovetop/afterburner look

the mismatched patterns just look wrong

personally if it was my car, I'd want to keep the car as original as possible especially an r32 GTR

my opinion only though

good luck with your project :)

the simple fact of the matter is this, You modify a car to your own tastes because at the end of the day it is you who is going to have to live with it day in and day out. I have wanted to do a full digital instrument cluster in my R32 for awhile but the costs involved aren't really cheap, You may also want to look into a HUD as well just for shits and giggles.

In regards to LED tail lights I have a set on my R32 as I wanted to know what they looked like and my original ones were leaking so I had to pull the out anyway to reseal them. Here are what my ones look like

lol try hard ?

the styles are very similar if not the same to the nismo r34 led tail lights?

they try hard too

yes, looks crap, the look of the individual diodes don't look good at all, even if its on an r34.

needs a way to prevent the LEDs from being visible i reckon, but that's just me.

I finally found what im looking for LEDS in original casing Thanks to MARCUS!! Also has a glittter background so it glitters a little during the daylight, ANd the blinker is Clear they taken out the yellow tint and put a yellow bulbs in, They are basically nismo quality hand made and much brighter. If you scroll up at Xalmons post im getting the last one, the flower like pattern, I saw it on a R34 and it lookked AWESOME in the night and in the day it looks original , Just a faint glittery shine look like little red diamonds. I was told they look awesome and Ten times better the the individual led tail lights like what i have on now. they look tacky and cheap especially for a GTR

    • Yeah, my moulds and seals are 32 years old now. I think I will continue to not use a pressure washer on it.
    • I hear the old "I'd never use a pressure washer on my motorbike" BS in the dirtbike community too.  The only people that have had a problem from using a pressure washer on anything are the people that aren't using them properly.  If you hold the wand any more than 45 cms away from pretty much anything (radiators, wiring connectors, paint, etc) you aren't going to cause any damage.  We've had detailers wreck moulds and seals on cars at work before and the only reason why is they held the pressure washer too close and on the one spot for too long.  If you have 5% more brain power than a detailer then you know not to not do that and you'll never have a problem.
    • I'm pretty much healed up post surgery so I spent another almost full day out in the shed re-arranging everything to make room for all of the shit that I've taken off the car.  I need to get everything off the floor and away from the car for when I start making a massive mess stripping off the remaining body deadener and then for the the painting process.  Almost got the shed to a point now where I feel I can actually start working on the car again (clean shed clean mind or something!).  Almost 11 years of accumulated car parts, building supplies, tools, junk, etc have taken a long time to get in some sort of order again!  Most stuff is now boxed up and in the back shed if it's not car related.  Most people would still be horrified walking into my shed but it's significantly better than it was before!   For those that saw my separate post the other day, yeah I ordered one.... This version- I convinced myself to stop being a clown, wake up to yourself and realise it will take you 5 weeks to make one by which stage you're over working on the car again...  Maybe I am getting on top of my "mental ailments" and making smarter choices.... $1450 delivered which will take my miserable half-dutch arse a few days to get over having spent that much!  If I don't have a use for it straight away after my car is off it I might even see if there is a "rental market" for them.  See if anyone wants to hire it for a period of time.  $25 a week or something like that.  I'll worry about that when my car is actually ready to come off it though as that might be a while away!! There's now no excuses now for not ending up with an underside you could eat off! Away for kids sport the next few weekends so hopefully can get the rotisserie assembled ready to go for the car to go straight on it the next available weekend.    
    • I always use my Karcher, but it's only a little one that I picked up from Supercheap  The only issue I ever had with a pressure washer was when I was a kid cleaning coaches, they had a hi-po industrial sized petrol jobbie that would strip paint if you got to close I saying this, we have a fairly high power washer at work with a diesel powered heater that sprays water at about 60°c, it works great for removing old wax and road grime on the underbody after some foam cannon action, albeit from a "stand off" distance of a few feet
    • Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!
