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

    • Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks 
    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
