Hi,

We did get the lense and we are looking further into this project to make sure it is viable.

We have also been in contact with a forum member who is willing to donate a pair of fog lights so that we can continue on.

Should have some more progress shortly.

That would be me guys, I've just bought a replacement front bar that has the the lights in it as well so as soon as I pick it up I have told psi I will be happy to donate them for the greater good ;)

Dale lives not too far away from me so I can drop them over to him no probs. I've just been working away a lot at the moment but I will be home for a while in two weeks so I can pick up said bar.

The ball is a rolling!!!!!

oh Dale you should of mentioned you needed them I have spare fog light housings I could sent you with the lense... doh...

Sorry mate, I didn't realise you had the whole lot. We just want to check how the mounts are set out so that we can come up with a solution that means as little work for you as possible. As I read that some of you are heating up the glue to get the lenses off and it may warp the surround. Any solution we come up with will need to be mass produced and include instructions for anyone to follow. I don't want hiccups or people saying this isn't a DIY job further down the track, so bare with us.

I did some searching a while back when I read Phil's original thread about attempting this and came across these pics on JDM Styling (I think), forgot i had them on my phone.

Just goes to show it can and has been done on a S2. After the glass cutting is done does anyone know what kind of bulbs can be used? as in if a big orange bulb is put behind the clear will it just look orange again or will it be far enough back to not stand out?

Sorry to disappoint you guys

but the second pic was photoshopped :D

and i still currently have the orange

OK if someone can pause time fo me I can actually continue the project... my time gets eaten by work.

105-110mm diamond hole saw, a wood jig to hold the lense, a drill and a heap of water, I already have the spare glass lenses waiting

    • Oh yeah forgot to also mention need to also unplug the IACV as well. Thanks for the reminder @MBS206 Unplugging the TPS takes it out of closed loop so you're able to screw down the IACV without the ECU trying to add/subtract timing to maintain the idle (not sure PowerFC can even do this, but Nistune and the OEM definitely does)
    • For sale is my 1999 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T, tuned to 234 kW / 313 hp. I've had the car for a few years as my daily driver. The car is original (as far as Skylines go), with only a few minor upgrades to enhance performance and driving experience, as typical for such a car of its age. Overall, it is in great condition with no body rust, thanks to its earlier import date. It features a top-notch security system (not literally, but it's great!) with remote start and still functional 4-wheel steering via HICAS. It comes with several performance and handling upgrades, including:     Hypergear 450HP Turbocharger running 17 PSI boost, installed mid-2021 by Jaustech     550cc injectors     Nistune ECU     Front-Mount Return-Flow Intercooler     X-Force Stainless Steel Exhaust     Upgraded engine mounts     Bottom end bearings replaced     BC Coilovers     Lenso DR1 rims     Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE003 TL 245/40R18 97W tires, fitted early 2023 The interior is mostly stock, with a few additions:     Viper Satellite Tracking System with remote start     Bluetooth Double-Din Touchscreen Head Unit     Steering wheel cover Cons:     A few paint imperfections here and there     Driver’s seat shows more wear than the others. It's not torn at all, but I've added a seat cover to protect its condition. I also have a CarVX Vehicle History report available for serious buyers, so you don’t need to purchase it yourself. Price: $26,000 ONO.
    • I've had two suzukis in the past have an extremely hard time turning over and not starting after sitting for a few weeks. Ended up the alternator would seize up causing the starter to force. Same issue both times.  Maybe they're sourcing their alternators from the same place...
    • Ah right. Maybe my rb just loves chewing through batteries lol.
    • On the R34 can't you just unplug the IACV? This is the way I've always done it on the R33. Disconnect IACV, get it idling around 650rpm, and then do a power reset on the ECU to get it to relearn idle (factory ECU).   The big reason no one has touched on as to why you'd want to get the base idle right, is that it means the computer needs to make smaller adjustments to get a good idle at 700-750rpm.   Also, cleaning the IACV won't normally make the car suddenly idle lower or higher. The main issue with the IACV gumming up is that the valve sticks. This means the inputs the ECU gives, aren't translating to changes in air flow. This can cause idle choppy ness as the ECU is now needing to give a lot of input to get movement, but then it moves too far, and then has to do the same in reverse, and it can mean the ECU can't catch stalls quickly either.
