i read up on em ages ago (bout 2 years ago) and it was something along the lines of no diffusers present in front of globes or something. have to check it again to make sure it still applies.

yeah i guess, I just don't like the way its so chunky between the globes, like its not smooth at all, its like 2 steps... more hacked together than anything else, not really there for style points.

trust me holdin it in your hands it looks good for all of 5 mins then you go... eugh.

a simple mod like opening up your headlights and just painting the reflector black (not the ones in the globes obviously) makes a world of difference.

like this... cost $5 for black acrylic paint.

Are there pics of these bad boys fitted to a car? How do you open the headlights?

Mate have you got any pictures of the headlights you painted on the car?

Looks neat.

I like that man, is it hard to opening up the headlights?

not hard at all... exact same process as opening up your indicators, see my DIY guide on this thread.

Same process. if you guys want I'll make a step by step guide for that as well.

YESSSS WE WANT A PIC OF IT FITTED!!! hahahahaha

haven't fitted it yet lol coz I've only done one, and then I destroyed it to make my prototype with added fibreglass and the High beam relocated... etc... it looks like a mangled mess now.

    • Would this not be the same for the exhaust you've posted up?  If your exhaust volume and emissions are fine, why does the brand of pipe matter? 
    • The issue is more the fact that there is inspectors that deal with japanese cars a lot and they might know what a real Mines pipe looks like. And then they're gonna get antsy and not pass your car. But I'd have to talk to one of them about this, because you know as well as me that it's just a damn pipe and it effectively doesn't do anything. As I need to have my GT2860s and my exhaust setup (and the increase in HP) TÜV'd anyways maybe they can just correct the entry in the papers or assign a badge to the front pipe. I'm no expert either though, will inquire about this.     Thanks for the insight. Not sure if having a custom made pipe is good or not. Will find out in due time I suppose. Would be kind of funny if this was made in Germany though.
    • See this is a really tricky topic as technically the same rules apply to all cars but for cars but there is a difference. If you want to modify a car like the Skyline which never existed here you have a bit more freedom as they do not adhere to EU specs anyway. Any modification you do has to be in dividually checked anyway so as long as one of the inspectors think it's ok and within the TÜV ruleset you can get stuff like a top secret rear diffuser put in your papers. Which frankly would need a shitload of tests and certificates for EU spec cars, like a 2010 BMW M3 for example. But if you DO run these tests and all tests come out ok (safety stuff for the most part) there is no problem running such a part legally. It's just way too expensive to do for a single person on one car. The most touchy parts are emissions related mods, like an exhaust, turbos, air intakes. If it makes noise or alters the carbon emissions it's essentially illegal until you prove it's not. Meaning it doesn't exceed noise limits or have worse carbon emissions. I'd say for hoses if you replace them same same it doesn't matter what material they are or what brand you use. Same for nuts and bolts usually, they won't go and specifically check that your water hoses and some bolts are 100% OEM parts, that is nonsense.
    • What I don't understand here is that it mentions using a sealant. So either way you're ruining the inside of the tire and making a huge mess to clean up. Why not just do that, air it back up to spec, then take it all off and put it back in the car? Also, why not just include a plug kit that's not garbage?
    • What a f**king weener. I have worked in Gary, IN. At the time there were more gun deaths each night there than almost anywhere else in the world. Still not a reason to be afraid. 95% of people from your part of the world only have 3 teeth left from when you were addicted to meth, and now you're perpetually wrecked by Fentanyl. The only saving grace is that most of you didn't vote for Trumpler. Speaking of which, I'm off to the oval office right now. Got to relieve my bowels.
