hay funky I can't get onto SDU as I have a hotmail address , Blade (tim) maybe you can get on and talk to these guys on SDU and then post it back up here for people who want to jump on this band wagon , there is a place over in Perth I have been told that makes this kit for around $135 , called Evolution R , in Bentley . I could not find them thou.

Perth guys did the group buy thru Evo R. Perhaps they might be willing to do a batch of R32 ones if we can muster up the numbers.

The SDU boys ordered thru Auto Illusions which turned to shambles, they never ended up gettin em, and some people are still in the process of getting reimbursements.

If you need R33 indiglo or reverse indiglo products, then contact the Perth SAU reps for the group buy details and see if you guys can order a few thru em.

If you are interested n R32 ones, then myself included will be more than glad to try n organise some. However due to lack of numbers we'll need to get the SDU boys in on this one too so we can fulfill the minimum orders etc.

speak to jameszilla he has the contact details of the place at autosalon who approached us and wanted to do group buys and stuff. insant got his el kit from there. they do all kinds of cool kits and most likely an idigllo or what ever it is at a good price cos its a group buy, ask james for the details

Just got in touch with Peaks in Japan and can organise R32 Type M Instument clusters from them for $200. Quality japanese made EL Clusters for R32 RB20DET FR models. Shipping should be about $30 couriered to your house.

What about these dudes -- they seem to have dials for a lot of models including the all important R32 (GT-R) :) -- although their dials are a little plainer than some of the flashier ones posted in this thread.

cyberstork don't do EL they do semi translucent white. I've already broght about 5 down from japan. they sell for 2980 something yen before tax, which is about 40 bucks

Dammit. These were the peeps doing the dials for SDU:

Unfortunately my japanese skills are lacking so I haven't been able to dig up any others on ebay *sigh*. Would have thought there was some demand for these in Japan...?

LW.

not really, there's peaks who do the Jap EL's for R32's look horn as IMHO nice n clean too.

Japs are more into 320km/h speedo's than el's, however this whole fnf phase sweeping thru japan might change that.

as for autoillusions, I've spoken to the pres of the 300zx club n he's told me to stay away from em. the ones he made for em had smudged numbers, and some el's had bad lamination etc. another batch was made up using the money from another group buy from some other club, became a whole big fiasco and ended up resulting in nothing. SDU got caught up in this as well and they're still tryin to get their money refunded, some of em.

Yeah, the Peaks one's look great, but useless if they don't do GT-R gauges :D As I said over at SDU, I came across these guys who seem to be big in this business: http://www.nrauto.com

I have sent them an email, so I will await their reply.

LW.

    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
