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.

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
