Daytime Running Lights


Recommended Posts

ive seen them in the bumper vents of a v35 here and they looked stupid in my opinion.

the ones in aftermarket headlights are better but still kinda out of place

in all honesty, any DRLs bought cheap on ebay are not worth the effort. they are not bright enough, the colour is too blue, and they dont match any of the cars existing lines. to be a proper DRL you would need EACH LED to be a minimum of 3w to be seen in daylight. and they arent cheap. Narva make them....

google any car that has factory DRLs to see what i mean about DRLs integrating into flowing body lines.... its one of those things that never really work as an afterthought.

i personally would look at the 2011 porsche carrera bumper lights with DRLs as a styling idea simply because of the similar front shape

Apparently its "standard" on Canadian G35s .. as DRLs are mandatory there, but not much on the web about getting it or integrating it into our cars. Its all a personal taste whether you like it or not. If it stops others from bumping into me, I'm all for it! :-)

I thought the canadian rules just had low beam headlights that were forced on when the engine is running.. not separate DRLs.. could be wrong though, it has been a while since I have been there!

Audi wannabe is the first thing that comes to mind. Although I love the Look of the "iron man" v36 headlight mod.. Wish it was easier to do though.

What's worse is when you see bogans in their commonwhores with them. I've even seen Patrol's and Hi-Luxes with them in Mackay, lol. But that's QLD for you.

Your car looks great as well projectx. Which one is yours? Does your tail lights stay on btw?

None of those 3 is mine.. I pulled that pic from the MYG37 forum. Its a pretty involved and time consuming modification to get the LED's into the headlights like that. The main problem being, if one little LED blows, you will need to take your car apart again to fix it. The results are so nice though!! My lights are stock right now apart from LED parkers. I was lucky and managed to retain factory HID setup though..

    • From what I've seen and experienced first hand with those powder extinguishers, they're good to use to break a window and escape the car, and half the time then do f**k all to stop a fire. You just need much more than 1KG worth of powder. Not to mention, half the time it's an engine bay fire, and you can't easily, and do not want to completely open the bonnet, so you're left pretending to be an American Infantry... Spray and Pray baby!   And then 100% that shit is really destructive afterwards!   Realistically, those little ones at a race track might help you keep the fire from growing and give the fire marshal / truck a chance to actually get to you with their multiple large bottles.   For a road car, these days, prepare to deboard as quickly as humanly possible, and move to safety. Allow insurance to fix replace it (unless it's like a rare classic etc, then do nearly everything possible to save it!) Keep the little extinguisher with you to help protect other things around you from burning while you stand there singing "How can we sleep while our beds are burning?"   Secondly, powder extinguishers I freaking hate for indoor use, (this isn't really relevant to a car) as you will get a powder fog around you, and it can be disorientating.   When I did fire training when at BlueScope Steel, they have (had?) their own fire brigade on site. We did all the training, and at the end we were told, "If it's an indoor fire, and you need to use a powder extinguisher, we as the fire brigade would rather you just exit the building, you're more likely to get lost in the smoke and powder fog than do much help, so just GTFO" And pretty much that was what they said for most other fires too, grab extinguisher, if it's much more than paper in a bin fire, use extinguisher to get you and others out of the building to safety...   Part of me wishes when my Skyline caught alight many moons ago, I let insurance sort it out, instead of putting the fire out... part of me now says "But I've saved a classic before it was a classic!"
    • Hi all,  I have a older model of the Greddy Front facing intake on an RB25DET NEO Head. I've bought aeroflows fuel rail and injector kit (1000cc Bosche injectors) and I'm unsure if the fitment is correct. The injector o-rings fit in the intake hole but it's not snug. I can very easily rotate the injectors even when the fuel rail is mounted. The kit also came with multiple adaptors, they dont make it any more snug and using them raises the injectors up and i cant mount the fuel rail. I hope this makes sense I've asses a few photos.    Thanks so much guys. 
    • So, to run the 4g aerials to the booster, I had to get access to the rear bulkhead....bit of a mission. Hot tip, don't offer to help change the rear shocks for a mate with a v37.... Remove seat base, 2 clips that slide forward to release it the it lifts straight out Fold down rear seat (pull in from boot) The side bolster of the rear seat is not connected to the middle parts that fold. To remove unbolt at the bottom bolt then push it up off the top hook Then there is a plastic surround behind the seat back, 2 pop out clips, 2 bastard clips, some swearing at it is out Pop the rear seat latch surround off Remove door surround lower trim then side trim  Remove c pillar trim - 4 clips, pull inwards not forwards Remove metal brace - 5 bolts 1 nut Then you have got to the rear strut top...what a pain!
    • If you really want squish back, you can have it put on the piston (at least to some extent).
    • Impressive. He's very very smooth.
