gotta say,

its a pretty funny idea i dont think i would wanna try it, BUT i do like the LED lights for the r33 copy tail lights in EVO-LEE's link that he put up, they are a lil different and pretty cool...

haro

Guys you if you want LED tail lights you can make them yourself it isn't hard or you can now buy them off the shelf here. The names of the shop escapes me at the moment. But the question is changing your tail light defectable, I pretty sure all those Lancers and Civics with Euro tail lights can be defected.

That's why I said this is probably the origin of rice - SE Asia is generally a poor country and an Evo or GT-R cost almost 3-4 times more then the Japan price IIRC.

their not defectable if DOT approved but the ones at autobarn arent DOT approved, ones from mitsubishi are. but cops wouldnt notice the difference. gotta take the tail light out to see the stamp saying DOT approved. but my lancer was lol, not DOT approved geez only paid $150 for the tails :D while my mate paid $450 from mitsubishi lol, no difference at all.

i admire the work done to those cars :) just not their choice of kit lol the time taken to make them up would of been astounding

The silver one is OK, if you weren't paying much attention you'd prolly just think its like any other Skyline (apart from the fact 4 door GTRs are as rare as hens teeth and the 4 door GTS-t's have diff tail lights) but that purple...'thing' is awful...KILL IT NOW!!!

Do they know what an Eterna is...it's the wedge shapped Magnas. They must have done a shitload of custom work to the car.

I was thinking a MMC UK delivered Carisma looked the closest but the boot is too high compared to the rear door line as well.

It may in fact be a 3 series BMW, they have high boots...so good spotting.

M powered GT-R :):D:D

That ain't no 3 Series BMW... look at the centre crease line on the BMW, the crease goes right through the door handles. That "thing" with the R33 lights, bumper etc has a similar crease line, yet the door handles are positioned below the line.

Yeah, looks like malaysia or around that area. Can't be singapore since you're not supposed to modify anything on your car or else the government takes it, but OMG, a friend there paid over $90k for a little hatchback... I wouldn't pay anything over $15k here for the same car...

Skylines are expensive and fairly rare over there... My fiancee lived there and all the guys she worked with just couldn't accept the fact that I was rich enough to own a skyline (having no idea how cheap they are here)... So she showed them a pic :) rofl!

I've seen a lot of new cefiro's over there though. Wish I had my camera at the time.

      HKS stroker kit step 0/1 or HKS GTIII 2530

      Reading your posts Josh, sometimes I feel like I've gone in a time machine back to the 90's when everyone was doe-eyed and figuring things out for the first time.  I've lost track of how many single turbo GTR's I've seen on track that haven't burnt down lol. Everything has been figured out a long time ago. These things are at the point now where its essentially turn-key to go single turbo.

      Among other things yes. Making sure to either use an oil pressure regulator or the right restrictor size for your oil pump/range of oil viscosities you intend to run, making sure you plumb the lines correctly, turbo should be placed such that it siphons properly even when the water pump isn't turning so you don't boil coolant in the turbo after shutdown, oil return should be low resistance and also preferably picking the one that is most likely to return to the pickup as opposed to some other irrelevant part of the pan. It's far from impossible to figure this out but I have seen people really, really struggle and if that's the case it's easier to just take the path of least resistance. To me, bolt-on twin turbos are a fixed cost whereas single turbo is almost unbounded.

      Latest round of updates on the car. I purchased and installed a SWS clutch slipper to help with 60ft times and got some second-hand good condition 275/40R17 Hoosier DR2 radials. Test and tune in November showed the tyres were an upgrade over my over 15 year old mickey Thompson's and I got a 1.8 second 60ft and pb et of 11.71 but even then, that run wasn't great due to rain and driver error (the event got called off 10 minutes later fast forward to the weekend just gone 25th of Jan and there was finally a break in the weather to let racing happen. The first run the track was slippery and only managed a 12.1@129 Second run the track was better and got a new pb et and mph: 11.54@131   Lith and I then worked out that I installed the previously mentioned clutch slipper incorrectly and its never been working, and I had just been dumping the clutch the entire time, we also noticed it was on street boost and not race boost. So I lined up for a third run with the car turned up in the first two gears, but the passengers side axle objected to clutch dumps and left the chat which stopped my weekend.   so there will be another attempt in the future once I replace the tyres as they rubbed and are stuffed now. but a low 11 should be on the cards.

      Turbos don't require pulling the motor apart so that's "easier". I would recommend the Nismo R3 turbos instead if you want to do stock twin turbo. It doesn't make as much power as the 2530s but it's only like ~50 whp off the mark and should have better response (ball bearing CHRA, slightly smaller turbo). A local that went with a Garrett G30 and 6boost manifold recently nearly burned his car to the ground after the hood insulator started melting and and burning so if you go single turbo I recommend doing a lot of research and validation work to make sure you don't do the same.
