ummm...just wondering how ppl are using these as brake lights and a tail light, as LEDs dont have the extra filament in them to make em brighter.

If you connect 2 resistors in series and have the tail light active going to the first and have the brake light active loop straight to second, would this work? Would it blow fuses because of 2 different actives?

There are 12V LED's available, wouldnt these be more suitable then cheap 1.5V ones with resistors?

Also, Jaycar sell these two products, which are 12V. Do you think they'd be suitable?

So where are all these panels some people were going to make up and sell? :thumbsup:

If you are interested pm Dr Doof as he had it on his car and it was at the NSW Show N Shine for display, not sure if too many people noticed it as the sun made it hard to tell unless you were looking closely.

I had about 8 people over the day tell my my parkers were on, and im like, yes, and ill show you why :domokun:

it was kind of hard to see, but it still looked pretty cool :)

i can make them for people, but i would prefer the money up front, as im in somewhat of a hole at the moment and cant afford a gamble...

$300 all up, less if you give me your facia, it will also take less time :)

thats my prototype V there, felt like making one that stands out a bit more, normal ones only have the letters light up... also do any combo of colours you can think of :)

really just for friends (or anyones in syd), pickup only ;)

My Leds for this little project have finally arrived, but did not receive any bits of paperwork as i have in my other led projects. (bought the brightest ones specially, came in a bag with nothing but the leds). Only thing im wondering, i got these figures out of the book i ordered them out of and just wondering which ones i use...mA 75; mA (peak) 100; Vtyp 2.2; and Vmax 2.6.

12v - V? =

Ans \ mA? =

ive read so many threads on this! can i just confirm? If i want mine to shine red. i spray the fascia in black but not over the letters, then spray it the colour of my car(white) and leave the leteres completly clear? or is it possible to have the letters white so it looks stock in the day but at night time the red shines through?...i cant see it working very well

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!

      You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
