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

Thats cool if they are similar, certainly gives it a nice finish. Havent seen Dezz's so will have to check it out too.

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.

put a top back on HAHAHA :)

yeh I only noticed the reflection when I put the pics up on here :O and sif put a top back on, i'm preparing my beach body :)

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:

Your pictures remind me of this picture i got emailed a while back, of the guy selling the table on ebay...

Do you see what I mean? :laugh::no:

yeah oops sorry..

Rhett

was gonna say, how'd you get the idea looking at my car....my rear indicators are some of the whitest i've seen :dry:

And to make matters worse, I actually went to look today! LOL! :D

So whose car did the idea come from, the plot thickens! :)

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

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

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

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
