^^^looks good

the only reason the trust front bar looks good is coz it makes the headlights look very evil, it exposes the whole front mount core(giving u that hardcore look and ppl think ur packin shit loads of boost) and is lower than most other after market front bars

Definately get new indicators. Trailer lights do not belong on a Skyline :P

I would also go for the black inserted headlights.

I would hate to think how little reo you now have and how unsafe your car would be in a front on accident :/

sorry, just my opinion...........

And who charges $1600 for a fmic now-a-days? Unless of course it is a full custom job.

Hi Al,

wow..thanx for your comments!!..,really appreciate them.

There is still a fair bit of Reo in the front,....but who would it be more unsafe for?, the driver or the thing that gets hit?? :woot:

I actually really like my chrome headlights, they're different to the norm, and when polished come up a treat!!!

The black ones are cool though.

Yeah, I am tending to sway towards you on the indicators. I suspect that finding nice ones is going to be a little difficult?

I do like their 'raw' look though, just got no class at all.

FMIC??...what is the 'going rate' nowadays on install and parts,..I was quoted the above figure a while ago, admittedly.

Regards,

Spit.

looks good.

doesn't look like it's colour matched properly to the rest of the body though - looks too white while the guards and bonnet look to have more ivory.

Hi R09,

mmmm...interesting comment...I must say the guys at my work, those who spray paint for a living, seem to be actually impressed by the matching.

I guess digital photography can make things appear that way,(ivory/mismatch/shade) though i can't see it in reality.

Admittedly, my car does need a good polish!!...maybe that's what you can pick up on???

I value your input Ronin, and i thankyou.

Regards,

Spit.

Just found these if you are interested in changing your lights :cool:

Indicator link

I would choose "M3 Series Truck Clearance Marker Lights" and mount them in the lower ducts using some cheap L-shape brackets from Bunnings.

Hey mate I put a couple of pics up in the members gallery under Front bar. I don't know how to transfer them to this thread. They were taken on my phone quite late in the day so they are not that great but you can get the idea. You can see the orange globe where the park lights are. If you want to ge indicators I was told to look for actual trailer ones as they are small and clear. Tell me what you think anyway.

      You will now be able to lift the parcel shelf trim enough to get to the shock cover bolts; if you need to full remove the parcel shelf trim for some reason you also remove the escutcheons around the rear seat release and you will have to unplug the high stop light wiring from the boot. Next up is removal of the bracket; 6 nuts and a bolt Good news, you've finally got to the strut top! Remove the dust cover and the 3 shock mount nuts (perhaps leave 1 on lightly for now....) Same on the other side, but easier now you've done it all before

      OK, so a bunch of trim needs to come off to get to the rear shock top mounts. Once the seat is out of the way, the plastic trim needs to come off. Remove 2 clips at the top then slide the trim towards the centre of the car to clear the lower clip Next you need to be able to lift the parcel shelf, which means you need to remove the mid dark trim around the door, and then the upper light trim above the parcel shelf. The mid trim has a clip in the middle to remove first, then lift the lowest trim off the top of the mid trim (unclips). At the top there is a hidden clip on the inner side to release first by pulling inwards, then the main clip releases by pulling the top towards the front of the car. The door seal comes off with the trim, just put them aside. The the lighter upper trim, this is easy to break to top clips so take it carefully. There is a hidden clip towards the bottom and another in the middle to release first by pulling inwards. Once they are out, there are 3 clips along the rear windscreen side of the panel that are hard to get under. This is what the rear of the panel looks like to assist:

      R34 manual conversion speed signal wire finding, need help

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes. Autos typically work from the speed sensor on the pinion shaft of the diff. I also think that even if you have a proper speed sensor for the bog manual in the manual box, that the signal it outputs is not compatible with the auto dash anyway. You should consult that manual (the book, not the gearbox).

      And I just realised that that advice is slightly nonsensical for a GTR, because you need 2 of them. But it is otherwise true.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Having had a reasonable look at the car, I'll be able to remove the (one time) rams and retract the hinge (they are held in the down location by a tiny (m3?) sacrificial screw) which will get it physically back in shape. From there if you remove the rams you need a resistor to turn off the airbag light (as Mark said, there are plug in kits and I might go that way because its reversible). And...per all the threads on here, even if you have the resistors to turn off the airbag light, the bonnet light will stay on as it writes to the airbag computer history - that is either replace the airbag controller, reprogam the EPROM (if I can work out how), or remove the globe from the dash. Having seen how sensitive this system is, if I had my time over I'd pre-emptively remove the rams, even on a road car, because this is all a very unnecessary pain in the arse. Reminds me, time to go and have a look at the Fuga too....
