My 34 Interior Led Mod

[xntrq]

hey guys, just installed on my R34 quite an amount of LED's and I'd thought to share. Don't have a full build log for it since I wasn't too bothered taking hundreds of photos.

Bit of background on myself, I'm a PC modder and played with LED's, wiring etc and put my skills and experience with that into my car.

This is a full custom and properly done job with heatshrinks, cable ties etc. perhaps the best I've done with lights.

I was going to do a log, but wasn't too bothered after a few pics.

Now before anyone starts to flame me about being gay or homo or what not, I did this for visibility in the foot wells and not so visible areas during night. But it looks nice anyway and I like it.

Strips of white LED's, car charger plugs, switches.

Soldering one LED strip to test out.

Soldered wires to one of two toggle switches I picked up at JayCar.

Drilled holes to suit the switches in the cover under the steering wheel. Added carbon fibre missile switch for extra awesomeness.

Driver foot well LED.

Passenger & rear foot well LED.

Upgraded gear selector back lights. GUIZE THIS IS AUTO? Yes it is, and I like my auto.

Carbon Fibre Style missile switch.

Installed two LED's to center console/armrest.

48 LED strip in boot.

This mod costed me just under $100 sourcing all parts and what I already had.

LED strips: Local guy who sells it on eBay, PM me if you are interested.

Cigarette lighter plug, switches, missile switch cover, resistors: JayCar

Looks good.

The amount of times I've been searching for something in the footwells with a phone screen as my only source of light.

Le sigh.

Something I also noticed.

It's an auto.

Mines about tens times that but in blue , the seats look like they float in midair and rear seats as well

Looks like the car had a blue explosion of light but mine is on the door triiggers and capcitive touchless hidden switches to override so missle command isnt needed lol

Cost at least half of what you did , i had to put a few white leds to override in the roof for when i actually want to read something the blue is so intense lol

It looks mental you cant see any lights just a friggin blue glow , then all the dash lights and digital gauges are ripped apart flush mounted behind clear black out resin and blue led displays too , i'm doing a build video and photo write up

But won't post up till my new internet is up and running , the car is setup for shows - car audio

Yeah man, loving auto cause I drive around the city quite often. had my mate pay me out cause he's on manual so I took the m4 during peak hours and he cracked the shits haha.

I got blue inside the footwells. Pretty happy with just that, but yours looks pretty mean.

Also, razer computer gear (Y)

hey mate, just wondering where you got the LED's for your dash? I got mine from jaycar but there's hot and cold spots. I've tried contacting 666DAN because I heard he's a good supplier for any LED, but he hasn't contacted me back. thanks!

lighting on the footwells look sick too!

Dan is the man for LED dash lights

He's on eblow as well ?

Funny he gets back to people fast as hell normally? Odd

Dan has great service !!! had one fail he sent me new ones the next day !!!

I found some other LED sources for dash lights but they cost 50 bucks Corncobs of nano smd leds ? Which might be better on r34

The rest of my smd leds are made in china spec but a 15 metre reel of waterproof cuttable ones was like 15 bucks free shipping

Wont beat that price local and quality is good too

wont work on dashlights but footwells etc it will

They must be soldered not crimped !!

The touchless switch to turn on anything is handmade , you can wave your hand close to the area and it switches without touching anything

Its adjustable so your not flicking stuff on and off by accident

I got them off ebay. I'm also getting slight cold spots on my RPM dial but not enough to fix it up. There's a guy in Chester Hill that sells shit loads of LED products that I can give you his details later tonight. He's got T5's for dashes so you could go there, test them out before you buy.

But flicking on and off requires a little bit of force, touchless switch would activate when you get too close anyway. Think automatic doors in shopping centres. they slide open when you walk past. now you don't quite want that do you

The place in the states , I'm sure would be no shadown spots my concern is being to bright !!

If anything , they don't sell nano smd lights here in oz , not that I can find

On series 2 r34 the cluster has a film that stops light and shadows it bad , ( mine is series 2 !!) but i swapped it for nismo cluster alll good now , could be a bit brighter in streetlights out on dark roads its fine

These switches dont work that way , your talking motion or heat detection

These detect the moisture resistance in your body produces Even if its only slight , they can be adjusted to the point of actually touching the spot or 40mm from it

Thru 25mm plexi .

They are expensive and not for the faint hearted to wire up .but can replace any switch in a car and since you cant see the switch unless you setup a led or outline they work for kill switches even better

My car is converted to push button start as well lol

To many toys haha
