It wasn't that difficult, but then again it's a bit of a half-assed job... Here's how I did it and prolly isn't the best way. Wasn't expensive though.

You need a clear panel for this

[*]get the thing off (4 nuts)

[*]remove any silver paint from letters so they are clear

[*]cut the back out in the shape of a letter box (you'll never get it open as it's sealed with goo, grrrrrrrr!)

[*]get some translucent red self adhesive vinyl and stick to inside of panel (mine needed 2 thicknesses to get the colour right) - £free

[*]clean it well and carefully mask letters and black bits (masking the letters took a razor sharp knife and a lot of time)

[*]get (right colour) spray paint and plastic primer - £12

[*]prime, spray to a good thickness

[*]get a neon tube, mine's for a PC case but is a bit short, and fix inside - I used a hot-glue gun near the ends. - £13

[*]test

[*]seal up with whatever you like

[*]tag transformer wires onto tail light circuit

[*]fix it back on

[*]connect up

[*]grin! - £priceless!

[/list=1]

Hardest bits were masking the letters and getting the right colour paint - the QM1 I had mixed was no where near the QM1 the car's sprayed in (apparently there are at least 2 QM1s...).

Cost just over 25 quid ($65 ish). Bargain.

for r32's this light was a factory option offered by nissan. in the r32 factory optional parts catalogue it was called the "rear finisher" and was sold under the following codes according to body colour.

5NG03~5NG07,5NG09,5NG10

the price at the time was 33,300 yen. i went to tokyo nissan last week to ask for one for my friend. but they ceased production quite a while ago in 1995.

guys.... i just got pulled up by the coppers. "you arent allowed to have allowed to have any blue lights coming from your car. (its green) the only people allowed to have blue lights are police cars" "it came with the car!" "remove it"

i was lucky to get away with it, because the car was just imported. the fine is $75 and one point.

what state are you in, im in WA and the new rule here is that there is not allowed to be anything like on the bonet, but you can have any colour underglow you want aslong as the globes themselve are not visable. So the glow is fine. I had blue LED windscreen washers to and they are illegal because they are visable but underneath fine...Weird!!!!!!

Taking pics tonite so ill have them up on sunday for you guys to check out

G'day Moschops

Can I ask, could you explain the following steps. I'm having a lil trouble trying it

remove any silver paint from letters so they are clear

How'd you remove it? scratch it off?

cut the back out in the shape of a letter box (you'll never get it open as it's sealed with goo, grrrrrrrr!)

How'd you cut it? looks kinda fragile thats all.

get some translucent red self adhesive vinyl and stick to inside of panel (mine needed 2 thicknesses to get the colour right) - £free

Hmmm, any advice on where I can get this from?

clean it well and carefully mask letters and black bits (masking the letters took a razor sharp knife and a lot of time)

May I ask, what black bits are you referring to? I presume you simply used that white marksing tape is that right?

Please advise as I reckon your car looks awesome. Thanks heaps in advance.

    • Yeah, sort of blurring two different things together, aren't we? I just meant O2 feedback closed loop. I used to have a 0-1V LCD meter on my dash, wired directly to the O2 sensor signal. So you could easily see what it was doing. Normal running it would flick back and forth nicely. Slow down to an idle and it would keep flicking, as the ECU tried to servo to maintain stoich, but it would slow down as each swing happened until it would stay at one end of the scale. As I said above, the sensor heater is not enough to keep it hot enough when there is also little heat in the exhaust flow. Give it a blip and it would start swinging again, then peter out again. Meanwhile, idle speed control would run just fine, because unrelated.
    • It's not even O2 feedback, it's just simply when the ECU sees the closed TPS signal for whatever reason the idle will start steadily dropping until the engine dies. With the TPS adjusted to not trigger closed TPS it will idle at some ridiculously high RPM and something like 6 degrees of timing. In the absence of getting eyes on it personally and a lot of quality time doing diagnostics I couldn't tell you what the real problem was but it was interesting nonetheless
    • Oof. One of my mates has an R34 GT-R that he initially was a "I want to go twins for response and convenience" on his stock 2.6 with Kelford 272 cams, but his friends are pests and were always in his ear about their place being in the bin.   Eventually one of the 2860-5s decided to add it's own input and force his hand, so he conceded and went for a Pulsar 6262G ("G35 900") with T4 0.85 hotside.    Here's an overlay of the results, same cams, same stock bottom end, same boost, same fuel, just from a pretty tidy 2860-5 install to a Pulsar turbo on a 6boost maniifold on BP98.   Worth mentioning here, it may seem like a dead horse thing but the dyno plot doesn't tell the story of how much better it is to drive - transient response has completely changed the car, he used to have flat foot shifting to stop it having to wind up again on gear changes even at >7000rpm... now it builds boost faster than that even short shifting.   It's 100% transformed the car before you even consider how much better it holds on: Pulsar and Garrett aren't the same, but from our experience if you're just looking for a better drive and the ability to make the same or more power I think the divided G30 770 would probably be the smallest I'd go to.
    • Great work Duncan, any events local you will give it a test once all done?
