Haha yeah it was the best looking but not the best to drive , the ceff felt better on the track and soon enough i'll make it look pretty again (just finishing a couple cars that i'm building that don't belong on this forum)

edit: oops , prev. page is what i was dribbling about :)

post some more pics up then! :)

Really like Stangs ceff, nice daily spec.

Get hassled by the boys in blue much?

Thanks. :) Haven't been pulled up as yet, touch wood, but probably just a matter of time. With the car all white it doesn't stand out like it used to with the black bonnet though.

Here's a comparison of how the rear of the Ceffy looked when I first bought it, and after the respray a couple of months ago.

Remove those door bumpers like I did. You won't regret it.

Your paint is in good enough condition to pull it off without a noticeable difference.

Actually on that note, even on my horrible f**ked up paint, it isn't noticeable unless I point it out, or sometimes when it's dirty.

I did mention that to the panel beater who resprayed some bits for me, it's one of the few exterior details that still bothers me. Was mostly worried about having an obvious whiter line where the strip used to be.

Right rear door is actually a little yellower than the front, so may give that a going over again anyway though.

    • Convert to dual filament bulb   FWIW, it will look odd - I dare say a bit dumb as it looks like your flasher relay has shit the bed.
    • If the RB20 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.
    • Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.
    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I鈥檇 finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I鈥檝e owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I鈥檇 love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I鈥檝e explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
