Got bored this afternoon so decided to try this. Had the idea following Dezz on the last cruise, I reckon it looks alright will see what it's like at night though. I wanted to take the reflector out of the outside light as well so at night you just see the two circles but wasn't game enough to for fear of breaking the lense.

With the indicator on...put an electronic flasher in as well so they flash at the right speed now as well might use them a bit more now :D

Did this a few weeks ago but finished it off today as well. Oh the joys of 4on 4off shift work

Yeah thats exactly what I thought, looked at them before and after and they actually ook pretty similar in brightness. I might put some higher wattage ones in though cos they are a bit dull. oh the joys of an electronic flasher :D

Nah he hasn't done it just got a black car, hence I thought it would look cool if all you saw at the back was the two round lights.

Higher wattage ones could either melt your loom, or just continuously blow out because the housings cant dissipate the extra heat quickly enough

meh thats what fuses are for they go poppy before the wire melts :laugh:

ive had a can of night shades in my cupboard for months...was going to put a coat or 2 on just to darken them to what everyone elses appear to be....mine and justin's seem to be some of the clearer ones i've seen...and the black paint doesnt help the situation

use replacement yellow LED globes. they're brighter and use less power :dry: cheap and easy fix.

but I agree. LED array FTW. I'm in the process of LED arraying my tail lights, indicators and reverse lights on the new R32 :)

nah i was driving behind dezz looking at the back of his car obviously :dry: and thought it would look much better without the white strips and the reflectors, so all you saw was 4 round circles. Saw a pic of an rx7 ages ago that had led tail lights, that had been tinted, you looked at the back of the car and it was all black no lights, then when the lights came on you would just see the led circles....looked awesome. I put 4 coats on mine, pack say 2-3 :) although depends what you call a coat as well i call a coat 2 passes with the can :banana:

I did a similar thing on my wagon ages ago but only one coat so they weren't as white, the stuff has stayed on for 2years plus with no problems, but take some iso alcohol to it and it will rub straight off <----Good if you mess up the first coat cos you didn't clean it properley :D

      Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
