Where did you get the S3 lights? Trying to find some myself.

I got them from Kudos about 8 months ago. I believe they were the last few remaining sets released to public. I have a feeling as they are no longer in production, you need to know someone to find any. The price of these reflected this, and although was expensive, I feel it was worth it to finish the front end off.

Also 2.7 Ohm resistor mod, can you explain?

The airbag light stays on if you don't hook up the 34 GTR airbag, and even then I don't know if it would work (being 20 years old) or if they are even same resistance. Hooking up a 2.7 ohm resistor to the brown and black wires fools the ECU into thinking there is an airbag. You could always remove the globe as well.

I'm pretty sure none were made after 1998 haha
the stock that's available is just whatever Nissan had laying around globally in warehouses.

Wow Steve looks great mate?. I miss the car everytime you put up an update. Good job mate?

Cheers Matt. I was hoping you'd check up for updates. The car is enjoyed and appreciated, I am making sure I take good care of it :)

I'm not sure when they were last produced - so I'll take your word for it. What I meant was since Kudos made a post ~7 months ago I haven't seen any other sets become available, at least in Australia. Just the random odd person selling a set, and they get snapped up really fast.

The REAL love of our lives hey... ? (making sure the wife isn't looking at this post) ?

But seriously. Lovely GT-R mate. The series 3 headlights really transform the look of it, they look great. Keep the posts up.

Thanks for all the kind words everyone, I am really happy there are so many people who share the passion for these amazing machines.

2 sets of good news.

1) I have managed to convince (probably just sick of my whinging) my lovely wife to let me do the turbo upgrade. Going to start trawling through the rb26 dyno thread to see which one to go with. Anything between the 600-650hp atw should be sufficient, I don't want to go overboard without forging bottom end or sacrificing too much drive-ability/reliability. Open to suggestions, thinking BW8374 or GTX35?

2) Enjoy the second location shots.

Car looks amazing, well done, it’s the little things that make it, the series 3 lights, 34 wheel etc, just set it off, beautiful car. 
The Precesion 64/66 is a popular turbo, might be a little lazy with stock compression motor but will make 400-450kw on a lower boost setting, then when you’re ready and build the bottom end, you can turn it up, that turbo will be good for 550kw ATW. 
Just be mindful that you’ll be past the limits of the stock box, so if you beat on it too much you’ll end up with a noisy or broken gearbox. 
and the can of worms has been cracked open ?

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
