Hey Guys,

You will have to count me out of this one..... I will definetly be in for the May meet.

Enjoy & I cant wait to see these headlights on the cars soon....be sure to post some pics !!

Marie :action-smiley-069:

Possibility I might not be able to come tomorrow due to work.

Will keep you guys updated. Will try to get as much work done as possible today.

Push comes to shove I'll be coming later than usual...

I'll be there, usual time around 7pm (read: 8pm)

I'm bringing limited tools for the lights and a drop mat, dont think I'll have a chance to get mine in before then anyway.

Bigsky, Im looking at you as the reseident expert! :D

Ah yes, I can help! It's all easy just tedious. Don't forget to bring some masketing tape. My headlights won't be installed as yet, trying to figure out the HID stuff...

Bigs, how long do you think to complete the install (no issues of course)?

I should really check my wiring too, based on your post in the lights thread, would hate to get the old lights out (in the dark, cold and far from home) only to then realise I have to do it all up and start again later...

So, depending on how bold I feel after checking the wiring, I'm bringing:

- Lights (duh)

- Socket set (incl 10mm + extension)

- Screwdrivers/misc tools

- Drop sheet/rubber matting

- Lighting

- Masking tape

I'm out for tonight ladies and gents. however I'm free next weekend and will be itching to go for a drive somewhere on saturday. So you guys can discuss that tonight and let me know =D if not hopefully by the end of this month I'll have done something else to my car to make up for the fact that I no longer have an exhaust =(

It was a good meetup...hope you all had fun.....good run down the Princes Highway as well..Tony, we left you and Anna at the Eastlink exit...hope you guys didn't go too far down the Princes Highway...

Josh/Marie,

This is what you missed:

1) Return of the Interfooler - Better than ever, paint job all done.

2) Visit by our cousin Zeds, led by Majestik in his matte black vinyl wraped 370z with Amuse body kit

3) The Stanceworks guys came in later - First time I've every seen a Mitsubishi Triton truck in the garage cafe with camber - Took up so much space Andrew couldn't get working on his lights.

4) Decoding of what options your Vs came with - I brought the document from Nissan FAST but it was in Japanese so Opal had a good time translating stuff. 8IgSKy apparently had heated seats when it was manufactured but somewhere along the line, someone removed them. (I'll post this up soon)

5) Guest appearance by Brian (G35me) in his H8TAX R35 GTR

6) As usual, we had our Princes Highway cruise back. Thanks for joining us 8IgSKy and Interfooler, even though home was the opposite direction. And Josh, I got Opal at the lights this time for you....[she is probably going to dispute this or claim that she was distracted etc....] :P

Until the next meet, keep safe guys.

(ps. I'll set up an EOI thread on a cruise next weekend (weather permitting))

YAY! It's done, headlights installed! Damn unplugging the headlights were a bitch! Dreadnought it took me 4 hours this time, took a while to unplugged the harness from the old headlights. Annoying with the tight space and undoing the bolts of the front bar underneath the headlights, holding the wheel guard plastic back.

How y'all doing with the install?

    • Convert to dual filament bulb   FWIW, it will look odd - I dare say a bit dumb as it looks like your flasher relay has shit the bed.
    • If the RB20 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.
    • Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.
    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
