^^ have you had any problems with the police?

none as of yet *touch wood*

as long as it's a good balance between allowing the yellow through and looking dark it's not really noticeable unless someone points it out to you. one of those subtle things that you cant quite put your finger on.

it's easily removed with a solvent - that said, reversing is a bitch with the windows and lights tinted

has anyone got pics of their indicators done in that nightshades stuff? i tried my local repco and auto barn and they only had the spray. does normal (window) tint film work on indicators?

I did the spray on my indicators (yellow) just to see what kinda look it gave, and it was sweet.

Just tape around it and spray away.

Ended up swapping to the nismo smoked indicators... same thing.

You can get the stuff off fairly easily, but I would recommend a clear gloss over the top cause it does dry almost matt...

I do need to give them a gloss coat..

The lower black strip was done with vinyl...

and thats using clear light assemblies with coloured glodes, I should take a phot of them light up in day to show you...

Its done on the outer of the lens, I guess I could of done it inside the lens but that would mean breaking apart the assembly which is different to stock ones.. If your using the stock light it will definitely need to be done on the outside of course...

Ohh good! :P

I just did the reverse and indicator light on my four door 34 be cos its seperate to the round break lights i wanted to match it to the car (its black) and give it more of a classic skyline look. I just wanted to make sure it was ok to do it to the outside because of sun exposure and such. Just to clarify have u used anything to protect the spray like a gloss coat?

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
