Veilside R33

Edit, moved to general discussion forum

Jakes performance wanna the best in canb isnt it?

actually im wondering the same thing, when i bought my car it had a "mines chip" in it, so what does this mean? does it help performance? or will i need it to be dyno tuned or what does it do?

pics of rims mate, [email protected] thanks mate.

speaking of colours, im sure someone here knows the pink r33....has that got any balls? or is it just painted a pretty colour with no guts?

k dudes i should be there, will prob just say stop to say hey, cause work is having a party and all booze is paid 4 ;@)

i might be able to make it then, 5would be perfect but i'll c what i can do.....what do you mean joking? silver wipers=20+kw, all i need now is neon washer jets and some big decals to get into the tens.

um if its in the evening then yeah for sure, like after 8ish, ive just sprayed my wipers silver so im keen to see how the extra 20odd kilowatts go. but yeah cruise sounds good.

sh*t thats great, though i fear travelling up to qld, painting the calipers then driving back down would cost a fraction more than having them done professionally here, can anyone post up a qucik DIY on how to do it? i checked the articles and diy section but surprisinlgy there is nothing there.

if its 4 ps2, finish it, then i'll buy/swap it off you.

hey all, after a bit of deliberation and thought, i decided what i thought was wrong with the lights, it occured to me that that the gauge earth should be connected to the car earth and the other wires should be hooked up together, and that the red/black wire had no place being connected to the 2 earths, i disconnected them then re-connected the earth to the earth then connected the other wires, as soon as i touched the other 3wires together, my warning beep to shut the door sounded...good sign!. so i connected them all, insulated them, then put it all back together, flipped on my lights and immediatly my dash lights came on aswell!!! yay!!, now my brake lights still werent working so a qucik trip down to the servo for more 10v fuses(seeing as i blew all of mine) and once the fuse was put in the boot all was good.....brake lights, dash lights, warning beep, all connected and working!!! so cheers for the advice and help guys, its all back to normal and i can drive at night without being cannaried.

that looks sweet mate, well done, do give us a quick run down on how u took the wheels off, how u prepped them and how long it took. it looks nice so i think i'll go do mine, and for $17 its a very cheap and attractive mod, they'll nice under my veilside rims too.

post up a link to the caliper thread when ur done..... or i could just look for it.....no post up a link

yeah the wires are insulated, so thats all good. it must be the way its been connected, i was sure i had reconnected them correctly but if one is out they r all useless, perhaps black to black, then connect the other 3? earthto earth would make sense and u would have to connect the other 3 otherwise there would be one left out. does that make sense?

just looked at them, seeing as there is only 2fuses i'll just put new ones in, im just positive that it must be the wiring other wise i wouldnt keep blowing fuses, if i blew it once then replaced it it would work with a new fuse, but as its kept blowing then it must be the wiring...no???

i checked a while ago, there are only 2 fuses in there(the two closest to the front of the car) and they r both fine, i have a feeling a lot of them only have 2fuses, dont know why, but i know this is the case with nismogirl and a heap of others. im pretty damn sure it must be the way i have wired it back up. i'd say i will need to get the right wires going to the gauge, replace the blown fuse in the boot(for t/lights) and it should be fine, but im gonna have to make sure the wiring is right b4 i put a new fuse back in cause i cant just keep blowing fuses.

so who knows of a place to get the "good stuff" from? if there is good and crap then whats good and where from? im changing my red interior to creme and i wouldnt mind doing the main dash in c/f graphic, who knows prices? couple hundred$$ for say half the int. or something?

ok heres the update, i checked a previous post and heres what i did, the taillight fuse in the boot was blown, i replaced it with a spare fuse and it blew immediatly, so its the wiring from the gauge right? the wiring is as follows, from the car: red with blue stripe, orange with black stripe and black. from the gauge: green wire and a black wire. there are connected as follows. red/blue stripe and black from car connected to black from gauge, and green from gauge connected to orange/black stripe. not sure if this sounds right but im 99% sure this is where my problem lies, anyone think its connected incorrectly and how do you think it should be done if they are incorrect?

thanks nik, will give it a shot, by the way there wires are as follows, coming from the car: red/blue stripe, orange/black stripe and black. coming from the Amp Gauge: green and black. the red/blue stripe and black wires from the car are connected to the black wire from the Amp Gauge. the orange/black stripe wire is connected to the green wire from the Gauge. does this sounds cool with u guys or is something amiss or wired incorrectly? i would have thought that the red and the black car wirs shouldnt be connected to just one wire from the gauge, i would imagine that the wires should be coneected in 2's but i could be wrong.

i just used a cutter on my headlights, it made them look brilliant and shiny, however u will need to do them every month or 2, but i just go over mine with meguires when i polish my R33 anyway and they come up great again. have u heard of glass lights for sky's? i never even knew they were available from anywhere? is this just something u are interested in or have you actually seen/heard of them?

hey guys, took my boost gauge off my R33 skyline a few weeks back to pass rego and left the wiring hidden under the dash panel, a mate of mine then showed interest in buying it so i agreed to sell it to him, anyway i took out the wiring the other day(the only wire that came with the boost gauge that i needed to take out was wired into my volt/amp gauge, so i thought fair enough, i disconnected it and the taped up and reconected the other wires then put it all back together, simple. however now my dashlights and taillights dont work,which means i cant drive at night, also my warning beep that rings when the lights are left on isnt working(which resulted in a flat battery cause i left em on) i have checked all of the fuses and its all ok(thoughi heard there may be more than 1 fusebox, i checked the one under and to the right of the steering col.) im am quite sure the wires are all hooked up correctly, so im thinking that maybe i have shorted/grounded it out. if so how can i fix it? but any other ideas oin what it may be? anyone??? edit: after some advice from an old thread i checked the brake lights fuse in the boot(which i didnt know existed) it had blown so i replaced it and it blew immediatly, does that tell anyone anything? im starting to doubt my wiring job, i think it may be the wrong way round i have posted this in the general discussion forum aswell, but i wanted 2 c if the local boys have any idea?
