  1. Killer Build Micah. 8's incoming bro keep at it.
  2. Since this is an out dated post im sure you would have found the answer.. but i just did this myself over the weekend and thought i might detail what i did as i was confused in the same way. I took out the stock baffling and the mesh separator, then put the sponges in laying flat (not on their sides, you have to compress the sponges to fit but once they are flat and inside the cam cover everything fits as it should) in the cam cover as far back to the breather holes as i could get it. Then put a thin layer of gasket maker around the edges where the factory sealant was, pushed down the mines baffles and screwed them back in place then ran the sealant around the edges once more. I've still got them off the car as im sending them to paint but i hope this helps anyone else who was stuck.
  3. I can also being taking orders for the R33 coupe lights as well as i have hit the minimum buy amount so if you're intrested for the R33 owners please send me a message again email is best as i can check it and get back to you the fastest. Here is the message i have sent out to my R33 guys. This message is to all who have expressed interest in the DIY kit for the R33 coupe, I now have enough people to being taking orders. How many are ready to go ahead with payment so that I can place the order through. If you would like to go ahead with the order please respond to this message, if not I will take that as you do not wish to continue. If we end up with less than the minimum buy I will let you know, in which case we will have to wait until I can reach the minimum buy again ( aka tell your friends with r33's! ) Pricing for the R33 is as follows, I will break it down separetly and include shipping to AU and to your door and paypal transaction fees. LED DIY kit Brake light circle boards are $455 including shipping and paypal fee Turn signal + reverse light boards are $410 If you want both its $830 Please note that the prices I have given are the BASE price which means no sequential upgrades only the LED boards. So no animation just static LED lights (bulb adapter, sequential lights , load resistor, etc.) If you would like to do a cost analysis for yourself please visit www.zledslights.com and click on R33 DIY kit. Note all prices include shipping from the USA and shipping to YOUR door plus the paypal transaction fee.
  4. I made a little video of the nismo style lights on one of the guys who bought a set from the group buys car.
  5. Here is the install video. Also i have created a demo photo for the R33 coupes
  6. This message is what i send out to all of the buyers who have ordered. I'm only displaying this to be as transparent as i can, as i believe the more transparent i am the less stress it causes. *********PLEASE READ THE WHOLE THING************* what i need from you is the light boards you want, as in what do you want them to do/look like ( obviously like i said if you customise them its an extra cost which i can let you know asap) i'll need full payment via paypal standard boards with no animation 430$ and the lights shown are 475$ both prices include all paypal fees and shipping to your door ([email protected] is the paypal email address, please include your name and what they are for in the description) before your order is placed I will also an address to send the boards to once they arrive in Australia so that i can ship them to you. If you are local to Sydney or would like to come to sydney to pick them up that’s fine too. Also you can have a look on www.zledslights.com for videos and options of how the leds are currently styled, but dont feel like thats what you have to do you can create your own aswell at extra cost. Also just to be clear about how all of this works. 1. You express intrest in the group buy. 2. you pick out the style and options of LEDS you want. (Static non animated LEDs can be had at request. But why go through the trouble and not have some fun 3. **YOU MUST PAY IN FULL BEFORE THE ORDER IS PLACED ** 4. I will update you on the process along the way. 5. your boards arrive and you now have two options, you can install them yourself or I can install them at an extra cost of 150$ (( this can be paid before or after the shipping to AU if you cant decide. )) Also please note that i WILL NOT collect any money before i have met the minimum buy amount. Once you express your interest to me i will take your details down and inform you once i have met the minimum buy amount for the set of lights you are after. The easiest way to for me to track the intrested buyers is via email so if your able to send me an email i'll add you to the respective group of intrest. again once i hit the minimum buy and only then will i begin to collect any money to then place the order and get the process underway. Please do not ask me to rush an order or express post them before everyone else as its not possible, the group buy is happening for the sole purpose of cutting shipping costs!
  7. heres a few questions i usually get. Questions asked via PM that i will answer here. I do not have a demo set for the R33 lights, reason being I dont have enough for the minimum buy to start production of them, they will look very similar to the r32 lights with the addition of the R33 signal bar at the bottom with the built in reverse lights. If you would like the lights for your R33 let me know and have money ready to pay for them as once i have the minimum buy i will collect and place the order. Again i do NOT accept deposits only full payments as if i place the order and someone has only paid half, then changes their mind i then have to buy a set of LED's for a car i do not own and try to resell them. The prices i set are firm, I do not make the light boards. Can you go back to stock if you dont like them? YES. you only need to remove the boards and put the light bulbs back in, and remove the load resistor to control the fast blink. Is there an install video? Yes, i am currently editing and finalising the clip to be put on youtube. Do i need to pay for shipping when they get to AU? NO, the price covers all shipping from the manufacturer to your door. How long does it take? The last order i placed September 24th and received all 14 boards plus 14 signal boards and 14 load resistors in early December, so from payment to delivery just over a month and a half. These are custom boards that are assembled to order. How can i pay? The preferred method is via paypal so everything is tracked and above board, however if you are local to me i can accept cash and i will accept a bank transfer, however the order will not be placed until full payment is received so you could be holding up someone else by using the two latter methods. Do i have to get the same design as everyone in the group buy? NO, you only need to use the same board, you can have any pattern you like, and design you like. I prefer you to get creative as it adds to the design portfolio and i just really like seeing things people come up with. I will get an album together of completed lights that are non standard from whats advertised on the manufactures webpage. Theres been a couple that have gone all out and it looks awesome!
  8. I'm not sure if we have spoke through email or not, but if you would like send me another email or a direct message here and i will do my best to answer any questions.
  9. Again the group buy has a minimum order of 5 units before i can actually place an order, the way i do this is once i have 5 orders or more ready to pay in full ( im sorry but i do not do the deposit bid as im not paying for your lights! ) i place the order for the boards of your choice in the style of your choice. The orders must be grouped by model of car. I.E. R33 with R33 and R32 with R32 etc etc, coupe and sedan versions and so fourth. I also am in the process of making a how to video for installing the lights and disassembling the tail light ( R32 but the logic applies across all automotive lights i think ) for the people who have the means to do it themselves. However if you break the boards or fry the circuits during install obviously that falls on you. About the install, this has been redesigned to be a simple as possible for the end user ( you ). The kits are now able to come with bulb adapters to cleanly fit into the existing bulb housings. All of which i will cover in the installation video. Which i should have out sometime in the next coming weeks. (Xmas is around the corner so give or take a few weeks )
  10. Hi all, A few guys on here might know me in person or seen me around, I'm Ricardo from Texas originally moved to Aus back in 2013. Searched for about 7 months and bought my 32 GTR and have enjoyed every second of it so far. Its complete bone stock and I've been adding my own touches to it with the hopes of building a 380-430 awkw weekend cruise/track day car. The end goal is to be able to participate in the WTAC club sprint and have some fun. For now im just really enjoying the car for what it is. ( even if its slow as snails right now haha ) I'll attach some photos from when i bought it to its current state. Don't get your hopes up it hasn't changed too drastically haha. I'm also getting into editing videos and mash ups so if you see me out with my gopro strapped to the car say hi! Basic mods done, oil cooler and filter relocation and changed cold side gaskets to tomei metal gaskets. Replaced Fuel filter, Deleted Hicas from the rear to the front ( using threads in here, thanks!), replaced injectors with new standard injectors, A/C re-gassed, blue tooth radio installed with new 6x9 in the front doors on MDF boards i made, LED tail lights as seen below and Digital triple cluster ( because american and Fahrenheit + PSI haha) car alarm, and last but not least i removed the stock exhaust and put in a 3 in cat-back. Here are a couple short videos i've slapped together, its also my channel. Feel free to sub.
  11. I almost forgot about the post in SAU, I have been dealing with everyone via facebook, I need to update the post as the 1st batch of orders I did I miscalculated shipping costs and I had to pitch in L In order to get the group buy rate you will need atleast 5 orders placed together via myself. Once they have been placed its just a matter of waiting for the boards to be assembled and shipped. You can visit http://www.zledslights.com and view the different styles or you can come up with a design all your own. The sky is the limit really. It is important to note that if you have a SEDAN R32 the lights will be different as we currently only have the R32 coupe lights available. We can make other models but there is obviously a longer lead time as the boards will need to be developed. @Gho5t - does it cost MORE to have them (conversion sytle II) for just the rings as shown then solid for brakes, so no animation? No, the two conversions shown are the same in price, however the animation of the light is optional and is an extra 42$ ( US currency converted ) - I will amend the original post with the prices to reflect accurate shipping costs plus the paypal fee which i didnt realise in the beginning.

  13. *** GROUP BUY OPPORTUNITY *** I am now the official distributor for Zleds in Australia. What that means is I'm able to offer significant discounts to the DIY kits for the R32 rear LED conversion kit. I am setting up a group buy to reduce shipping price on the consumer end as they are from the United States. These lights retail for more than $600 USD or about $835 AUD, this group buy will see the price cut in half at 400$ AUD with shipping included. The minimum buy is 5 sets. The lights can be customised how ever you would like for additional cost. (Depending on how creative you get between 30-95$ for what you come up with.) I can also get these boards made for the R33, R34 and R35. However the templates for the R33 and R34 have a 2-3 week lead time to be developed. The R35 already has a template if you would like them send me a pm to discuss pricing. I am also able to install the boards for you for an additional $150 with supply of the lights to be fitted. Awaken your GTR with quality Zleds rear led conversion kits. I have had these installed on my own GTR below for over a year and a half with no issues what so ever. The lights also can be set to pulse on braking or changed to be the "NISMO" style ring LEDs if you prefer. What you come up with is limited only by your imagination. I have included the YouTube link below as well to see the lights in action. (Many of the NSW guys have seen them already and can attest to the build quality) 'Nismo' styled lights Conversion 1 style If you would like to order please send me a message or you can email me at ricardowilliamsATright2drive DOT com DOT au Before any of the boards are purchased I will need to meet the minimum buy. For R32 boards it's 5 orders, the R33 and R34 are 7 as they will need to be made for the larger halos in the R34 lights and larger turn signal in the R33 light. Pricing for the R33 conversion is 490 and the R34 is 525. These prices only reflect GROUP BUY pricing. Please note that these are also base price minus the sequential brake upgrade. I have attached a few photos to view of them on my own car, Please send enquiries to my email - ricardowilliamsATright2drive DOT com DOT au You can also visit www.zledslights.com to view the current lights available and styles of others already done. Alternatively you can send me a message on facebook.
