Hi

As the name suggests i have a friend who is very good with electronics. He is offering to install lights in the back of the R33 panell which says, SKYLINE. If anyone is interested in having it done cheaply, but professionally just PM me or reply.

I have read posts, including this one http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...p;#entry2268684

He is chargine $170 which is much cheaper than what other people were doing it for.

You will have to pay for postage, but that will only be a couple of dollars. I forgot to mention that he will be repainting the panel. So when you get the part back you will need to connect 2 wires and its done.

holy crap!! $170? i think i will do it myself for that much. i did it to my old 180 and it cost me about $15.

cool goober, you can do mine. $15 for parts, and a couple of bucks for your trouble.

woohooo, look marge, a couple of bucks !!!

;)

here is a pic of it

but i tried to change mine around an broke my S :)

hopefully ill be having that fixed soon.

so its using single LEDs ???

im running twin leds per letter - as seen in the first post in the thread in the first post

No.

The cold cathode that was installed is only long enough to light up 6 letters.

As a result i chose the cathode to light up KYLINE and have the S on an LED. I could of had a longer cathode but i didnt want to wait for it. So we decided on putting an LED behind the S to light it up.

EDIT: Only S1 can have them as the panel on the back is clear and has just been painted over. If you did want this then it is preferable to have a S1 or else buy a series 1 panel for around $30

Sorry my last statement wasnt clear.

IF the cathode is long enough to adequately light up all of the letters, then only the cathode is being sold. if the cathode requires extra light to ensure the SKYLINE panel is appropriately lighted up, then addition LEDs will be used.

does that answer your question?

Mine came stock with the car from japan, lit up blue. Didn't even no till i got home :P When i rang him up a few days later i asked him bout it and he said its an optional extra when u buy the car brand new over there, i'll take a pic at night and post it. i Dont know how its done and aint gonna try to find out on my own car, cause why f**k with somethin that aint broke haha

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
