crystal tail lights may not suit a 31 man

i sort of agree with you but im just curious on what it would look like although the import ass end does look good standard ive had the car 6 years now and was thinking of changing the look

get some old style wheels with massive offset and stretched tyres, and then lower it so it tucks tyre.

you can order those performance alloys watanabe rip off's in nearly any size you want... get some 15 X 10's 0 offset.

yeah ive got an old style deepdish 2 piece rim off a gts-x and as for the lowering ive already got adjustable koni shocks with lowered kings its pretty much the lowest 31 around well one of and people hate me for it so its wound up at the moment just above the tyre line

led conversion might be cool, without the 'ice'. would be a custom job though ive never heard of anyone making r31 ice bling taillights.

projector headlights, white out the black striping (or remove) and put a front lip on it with decent front bar. that way itll look better. ice taillights are the automotive worlds way of showing off your bad taste.

If you can understand Japanese, or have a translation program, somewhere in the R31House.co.jp site there are some pics of an R31 with LED tail lamps. They look exactally like the standard tail lamps, but once lit up the LED's look awesome.

Unfortunatly, their site has changed, and with me being unable to read japanese I have no idea what I am looking at.

**EDIT** I found a pic.....not the best but all I can find!

cheers mate i think u have seen them on that site ive also seen one skyline down the coast like that it looked good. if you want to fet in to r31 house go to http://babelfish.altavista.com/ and tranlate r31house.co.jp it will bring the whole site up in english :dry:

hotplates ftw

that's what the 'lines are known for, i see absolutely no reason to change it to try and be (apparently) cooler.

try an R30 taillight conversion if possible :D

im not trying to be cooler :) as you put it but if you had a car for six years you would want a change too, your coment on the want to be cooler part is so missled i want to be different not cool :P

ok sorry not quite cooler then, different eh...

sell it and buy a DR30! :D now that's different...

i was thinking about doing the opposite (selling it and buying a 31) but that's not financially possible at the mo' :(

id love to have a dr30 too but i cant part with it if i did it would be near impossible to find another one there getting quite rare i cant even find interior parts as the model i have which is the straight gts 1987. i could imagine how hard it would be to get parts for a dr as im led to believe there even rarer, the import rs that is :D

oh yeah its rare as anything, and expensive too. there are some shops in japan that stock some parts but u can imagine the hassle in that :blink:

yep thats the price we pay for having rare cars but its worth it all the same. and it is a hassle getting stuff from japan when your just an everyday person and not a company that can import in bulk :

    • 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)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
