Where to get Skyline Serviced

[nsanity]

I need my lights sorted.

I'm possibly looking at converting them over to Xenon's (strike that, i want them done, but i want it done properly) but for the moment i just need the lenses' cleaned up. Driver's side has that "someone washed the inside this one time" look about it.

Any ideas where to head?

Thanks plr4t8r for the tip, I appreciate it.

FMIC install coming up - can anyone recommend a place and tell me roughly what ball park figure I should expect? So far 1 place in phillip quoted me $600. Does that sound right?

[Bluprint]

If it includes getting the piping done, yes

[Sauce]

The kit has piping...

[Baconer]

do it yourself, theres write ups for every model skyline with pictures and problem solving for everything that could possibly go wrong on these forums

[low200]

yeh man, do it yourself, you dont even need to cut a hole for the piping on skylines.

Itll take you an afternoon.

Depends on the type of kit. On most you do actually have to cut a whole. I think the Trust and ARC ones you don't though... either way it is still an easy job.

Ceels didnt with his Trust one.

I did with mine, though mine's an R32. Had to cut a hole in the vertical surface beneath where the battery sits. Went out and bought a 4" hole saw to do it too if you need to borrow it, though the auger's screwed.

A mate tried and failed to install it on the weekend, cut a hole and whatnot but couldn't get the piping to meet up properly, which was why I was thinking i'd probably need to get a place to do it for me It's all just looking kind of shithouse atm... If he couldn't do it I certainly can't do it on my own.

he mustnt be that good then (no offence)

what type of kit is it? like a good quality trust, HKS, Blitz etc? or a just jap cheapy?

[Sauce]

I'm a pov, so its a just jap kit

[Baconer]

theres a write up on that exact kit installed on your same model car (cant remember if yours was s2 or not :X) in the tutorial section. Heres the link you lazy todge, now get to work!

Nothing wrong with a Just Jap kit. Cooling Pro FTW!!!

[Sauce]

The S2 tutorial doesn't help all that much with the wacky piping that ARC kit has unfortunately

[low200]

chances are piping wont fit properly on a pov kit, mate to have all his piping remade coz the pov pak stuff didnt fit at all.

as opposed to cutting a part? or is that a hole in the whole?
