Hi all!

I'm new to the forum, just changed my dash lights from the factory white (mine was faded and yellowish looking) to blue LED. Looks kind of purple and faded/blurry in areas in photos (not great photos from my phone) but looks great in person. I attached the before and after photos as well as the LED's i used. Used this multi faced LED to try and spread the lighting out more. Well worth the time and money (only took 2hr and $10 for me as newbie) for the change!

Yeah it was. Found a good guide (can't seem to find the link) online and followed it. Took a while to do because it was my first time and had to work out where everything was, but definitely not a difficult job to do. Well worth it.

good job man! I have Red in mine, one day I might get around to doing the lights in the ac unit so they match.

Any future things you do consider making a DIY with pics as you go =)

I got the exact same coloured LED's for my dash and gauges.

However, I would leave the dome light LED yellow white and also the same with the centre console. If you want readability and visibility then stay with yellow white but the dash is fine with Blue and it actually looks much better IMO.

Cheers

Skylab: thanks mate! I was trying to choose between red and blue, both would look better than the factory colour! I cleaned my AAC valve the other day and thought I should start doing DIY tutorials with it, I'll be sure to do it for now on!

Robocop2310: totally agree with leaving the interiors. The guy who had the car before me put red LED in it, totally useless!

Thanks for the replies guys!

      Compatible rear drive shafts R34 N/A?

      By RB25inside · Posted

      Are these the Dmax ones you are in reference too? https://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35#description Not a bad idea to get the uni flange ones. I have sent just jap an email too. Will see what they say lmao. Only thing is the Dmax ones are on a big back order. Low key anything will be better then my OEM ones I got as they are sounding like popcorn when I go under load lmao 😂☠️🪦.

      Compatible rear drive shafts R34 N/A?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      They should do. I have S14 (or something S chassis, anyway) driveshafts in my R32 (because my diff flanges have 3x2). They're the right length. When you go looking for R32/3/4 driveshafts (for turbos), they're all the same thing, so are the same length. So there really shouldn't be any reason why those cheapies from JJ won't also fit an R34. R32/3 NA should also be the same thing. The (3x the price) D-Max ones are uni-fit. They have 5x1 and 3x2 bolt holes and say they cover all the cars. So that would also suggest that they are all the same except for the flanges. And in that case, the flange goes both ways. I'd be buying the D-Max ones if I ever have to replace a shaft. Because that will open up diff options without needing to juggle shafts also. Juggling shafts is gay.

      GReddy Injector Help!

      By ChoppedSpots · Posted

      Yeah with the adaptors they do look like the photo above - just the fitment within the plenum itself and then further with the rail to the intake is questionable - we shall see tomorrow hopefully once I get some replies from Aeroflow, maybe those bosses are the missing piece....

      GReddy Injector Help!

      Should be fine, if you have it sitting too far in, you end up just spraying the walls and have shit idle. You "can" run them like that, however I don't think it's a great idea (also depends on your plenum, might be good to just get the injector bosses first, mock it up and see if you need to get the bottom extension) Ideally your injectors, with the extension should look like this  (Not my photos, just Google)

      By ChoppedSpots · Posted

      Thanks for the replies guys, it's really appreciated.  It seems the kit was supposed to come with those injector bosses but hasn't. Unsure if they'll help as even with the adaptors to make them a 3/4 height injector they still sit too far out so mount the fuel rail?
