I converted my set of stock lights to LED's, to make it look like nismo, here's some pics. I'd convert em for people too, for a fee :P

wow, looks amazing!! I like how you use the stock plastic, unlike some tacky one's i've seen around...

how much am i looking at for you to DIY for me? :P

I would attempt it myself, but I don't have the tools or time unfortunately :(

Wow Charles, they look damn good man. I agree with Suwidji and also appreciate how you have used the original light casings. Was it difficult to convert them to LEDs the way you've done? Might go down that track myself.

I've also been looking at a set from MARS Performance. Any opinions on how this set looks...

Also, Suwidji, how do you get that R34 banner at the bottom of all your posts? Would like one myself haha.

Thanks man :D

It's not so much "difficult", although I had no background in electronics lol, I had to learn about LED's and resistors. Just took a little bit of time, also getting the template right took a lot of time.

I had a pair of taillights from MARS, which is now on sale lol, they are pretty good, i actually didnt mind them, "East Bear style". But I now prefer my DIY Nismo style hehe.

Ah yeah, cool. How are yours in terms of brightness? I know the MARS ones are fairly bright but i prefer the Nismo style over the East Bear style. More aesthetically appealing to me. However, I do like the clear indicator section.

I compared them yesterday when I installed it, my DIY ones are definitely brighter than the MARS ones lol. And plus, I can choose whatever LED i want and whatever resistor I want to use to reduce/increase the brightness :P

At the moment, I'm using 12000MCD LED's, and when braking, they are 100% brightness, but when it's parkers, it's probably about 80% or so?

I also converted my centre brake light on my boot :)

Qest use the highest quality leds available in Japan hence it reflects on their price.

The lifetime on them is extremely long and highest quality.

They use the genuine Nissan housings fully refurbished and highest quality electronic parts available.

I know the owner well and if anything he goes overkill on making these.

I can get them for 10% off the Japanese retail price.

If you want info on purchasing them flick me a pm.

Here is what they look like on my car.

It's kind of a DIY job fellas. Got the LED ones off eBay (they're the same ones that daniels14a posted earlier) and then just heated them up removed the plastic covers and switched them with the OEM ones, sealed them back up. Done! :) I'm happy with how they turned out

Has anyone actually seen a genuine nismo or east bear LED tail light inside?

I had some in my car when i bought it but not sure if they're genuine or copy?

They're no cardboard DIY sh!t though , very good build quality so was wondering..

      RB20DET lean on cold start

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.

      By MidnightR32 · Posted

      Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?

      Rb20e and RB20DET parts

      By A31Skyline · Posted

      yess of course im not using 2nd hand parts from my spare engine, but the place where i live is hard to find parts for the RB20DET ,but for the RB20E is everywhere including new ones and a lot cheaper ,because for the RB20DET you have to order it overseas to get one and it cost a lot of money 3x the price to be exact. so i ask this topic because if i can use the new ones but for RB20E is it compatible or not. if not im screwed haha, not totally screwed but i have to save a lot of money first before i can begin repairing my engine, thanks for the information before.

      Unless my sensor just died, was only a couple months old, I strongly believe it didn't. How can I test it? I never mentioned it being 20:1+?

      Well, you wouldn't use 2nd hand bearings out of another engine anyway....so just buying the proper bearings is obviously what you're going to do. The crankshaft would be common. The conrods might be common. There is essentially nothing else you would be able to use.
