Hi all,

Been playing and wanted something different for my car so decided to do an LED conversion on my R33 Rear Lights.

It's something I started as a hobby as can be seen on gtr.co.uk - although it's turned into a group buy in the UK.

Just thought I'd share my results and ask for a little feedback on the conversion - It's meant to be a little Z-Tune-ish style.

It may sound strange but there are over 800 LED's in total across the back of the car!

Anyway, opinions?

Oh, almost forgot, there is a Fog Lamp on the outside of each Reverse Lamp which wasn't wired up when the Vid was taken hence why there only appears to be a small Reverse Lamp.

Cheers,

Matt.

i cant see any difference? oh its a video... dont mind me :P

i was thinking about getting some LED rear lights and swapping about 10% of the Red LED's for blue ones to give it a unique tinge... i might still do that... have those ones on a switch though, as police around here are nasty...

im thinking about doing what you did with the front lights too :(

yeah im a big fan of it... how much did the lights cost you in the end?

im thinking of getting some BMW ones with angel eyes but i think they are a bit big for the skyline headlight...

The headlights cost me about £500 in parts as they are 2 sets of Bi-Xenon projectors etc.

The BMW Bi-Xenon units don't fit as the solenoid is too large.

I found the Audi units fit with no problems...

thats so hot ;)

wanna...... give em to me??? :)

or give me some info as to how to do it? and do those have angel eyes?

Developing the brackets that use the original mounts was the hardest part - they took a while and a bit of head scratching to get right.

Using the original mounts means the beams can be adjusted as per the standard headlights.

They don't have angel eyes, I do have 2 sets which I was going to install but they aren't to my personal taste really.

The conversion is actually very simple once you have all the parts and they took me about 4 or 5 hours from start to finish.

The main fuse has to be uprated from 10 or 20 Amps (Can't remember off the top of my head) to 30 Amps as the start-up draw current is quite high having twin sets.

i so wanna have a go at something like this... but i dont really have the cash flow for it at the moment... or a spare set of headlights :P

either way, the modification bug has been biting me really hard lately... i have to do something original (or rare) or im gunna die!

ill try and find out prices for headlights like these, but im sure i won't be able to afford it for a while... too much other stuff going on :O

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
