very nice... so no need to pay $220 eh.

might be an idea to put in a flat clear panel where the red plastic used to be.

now to red bulbs, any ideas?

- lightly paint the bulbs red

- a red plastic between the bulb and the tailights

oh yeh forgot about that part, i just went to repco, gave them my old bulbs and asked for red ones, grabbed two pairs of them at 4 bux a pair and all is good,

i only sprayed a very light coat of vht night shade, so light you could see straight through it, however as soon as i put it back in the light assembly they appeared black because the inside of the light assembly is black, this means that light shows through nicely so i dont have to worry about the cops :thumbsup:

putting a clear thing of plastic would be a very good idea and as soon as i have time to do it i will,

all in the cost to do this was

vht night shade $20

red bulbs $8

$28 for r33 tail lights that are rare is pretty good i reckon lol

lol was gonna do this ages ago to match my front foggies but was gonna look shit due to my red brake wing light but i prefer the red on the silver cars

but for some reason they look awesome being clear on other cars

just my 2 cents

good point about it not retaining the red reflector :P

but oh well, just about every other mod iv done to my car is illegal, i mean if the lights didnt light up red i wouldnt have done it but people can still clearly see the red light up so i dont mind lol

That used to be my brothers car. Was making 466RWHP on 20psi. Was a very very tough car - running 10's :geek:

As for the lights, they were custom made. Take out the tail light and well "break" out the red covers. As long as there is a red globe in there (so when u brake its red), then that's fine.

The drop tank was fake, just a drop tank cover. Still looked awesome though!

i pulled out the old red lens and took it a plastic extruder to get matched with a clear one. silicon back onto the housing when done. i also tinted the inside of the lens too..

anyone have an idea on who can do this in perth? I emailed a couple places for a cost but noones responded to me

i dont have them anymore, but post 8 on here gives you more info/pics. it's all been covered already, just thought i'd share.

i found replacing the globe with a red one or even the led globes still wasn't enough, so i installed led's into the clear taillights too.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
