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? =

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 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
