[MJ]

Gson give it to me

These are pretty damn rare, id love to get my hands on one

[dan_the_man]

heh go order an r33 one new from nissan and expect to pay around $400

[david mell]

ive tried pulling the thing apart too on my r33, spent hours trying to do it.

eventually i snapped a bit off and had to glue it back on. havent tried since, its a bitch to get aprt, wanted to stick a neon in it

if any1 figures out a way to get it aprt that wont damage it, let us know

thx

yes ive tried my r33 one too and found that it is sealed with mastic so you would have to be carefull or as said before,cut out a slot to slip in leds and seal the hole up.

ah thats exactly wat i want...except for an r33 hehe. u cannot do that flex wire thing with the r33's as the panel where the skyline letters are is clearish and not filled. but that looks really good hehe

Cut the back out and drop in a tube. I stuck two thicknesses of red translucent vinyl inside to get the colour I was after. Sealed the back up with duct tape and tagged the transformer into the side light circuit. Masked the raised letters and sprayed white to match my car, Job done.

I brought a clear rear garnish for the r33 from ebay and it doesnt have a light behind it at all. Its not just removed or anything, it actualy never had anything behind the clear plastic ..

So whats the go with them, did they make some that light up and some that didnt ..

Also has anyone modified one that doesnt light up so that it does ??

Its a rare factory option, not many have them so if u bought one of ebay of course chances are it wont light up...

I drilled out a tiny hole in the R33 plastic, fed a 30cm cold cathode tube in, ran the wires through convenient holes in the back of the plastic and re-joined and powered them from the power to the tail lights.

Piece of piss*

*This may, in fact, be a lie as it is was a proper bastard of a job...

i thought the the light up panel was common knowledge..some people :

[siksII]

guys i think thats enough this thread should be closed, if u want one buy one from nissan

ps. i like standing out.

also on a serious note, i have found the light up panel makes highway patrols job that much easier when spotting a skyline from a distance

Mine lets the safety guys know when the gas is armed

[Pal]

i have heard to get the mastic apart, chuck the piece in the oven on about 80 degrees and keep testing it untill it comes apart, this works on headlights as well. so if you need to clean the inside of your headlights. cook em (got this from mate with supra (and works))

thanks for that people, i just didnt know, i thought all had lights in them.

SiksII that looks very very nice, nice job painting it and only havin the letters illuminated. Do you have a problem with this thread, im just not sure why u think it should be closed. If a thread has usefull information to members and people are still posting messages on it then why should it be closed?

Would you have likes it more is i made a new post about it rather that posting a new message on an old thread?

Hey i wonder what they normaly look like when the whole panel is light up standard, has anyone got a picture

Thanks everyone

Hey Mick, i was joking, i was being a smartass saying that people shouldnt do it so my own car which has a light up panel stands out

The pics i have posted are of my car which has the standard nissan light up panel, i did not do that, so that is how it looks from factory which answers you last question

[Mick]

oh i get ya now, i thought it was becuase this was an old old thread until i replied to it.

Hmm i didnt think that was stock, i thought u painted round the letters .. it looks mad though.

its not like you cant define a skyline from the circle tail lights or anything
