Hey People,

You may have seen the odd post about these from time to time or even ones which I have sold previously. Basically these Light Up Skyline Garnishes can be wired up with ease to work with brake lights or constantly switched on with your parkers, and should hopefully be available in various colours and look much brighter than the factory unit, as you can see.

The total price of these Garnishes will be around $300, less without the supply of the lighting. I am also may be getting some to have a 'stealth' appearance during the day when turned off, (no clear looking letters as you can see with the silver one thats not lite up) this element of stealth may come at a small additional cost.

So if you have been wondering where to score one or have tried making one of these trick pieces for the back of your liner, wonder no more! If you genuinely you would like one of these please post here (no chit chat please) with the colour and model of your car (R33 Series 1 or 2) and I will be sure to get back to you very soon.

The colour of lighting is only limited by your imagination so ponder away! Although most popular is the red and white lights (note that the grey one with red lights is still in primer/undercoat and not finished).

Thanks.

how easy are they to install, mine doesnt look to easy to remove/replace

It is a very simple installation, you just need to remove the plastic boot trim/panel from the inside of your boot then its 4 nuts and your out!

I will write a tutorial on installing them once they some are sent out

hey i have 2 of those garnishes if you wana buy off me to make em lol i dont evn use it coz got my original one back on so other 2 are just spares sitting there looking pretty.

sorry mate, on closer inspection i can see how easy it is to do

i will contact you in a couple of weeks when i have some spare cash

Hi mate what is used to make them light up leds etc????

Also what do you do for the S1 panels as they are not colour coded to match the paint?

Led's are used. and they are painted to match the body color mate :thumbsup:

Thats right! The colour is matched exactly using the paint code for your cars colour.

The finished product looks almost identical to the factory body coloured series II garnish. Obviousy the series II has the difference of the concave shape though.

Is white a legal colour for lights on the rear of the car? How much extra would red be or is it just an optional extra for same price.

Also when will you be making these, very keen on one :)

Everyone I have spoken to that does rego inpections etc. and knows about that kind of thing has said that there are no issues with haveing i white. I have had cops pull up behind me various times and they have never pulled me over, let alone say anything about it, as it looks like a factory nissan job.

Although Red obviously carries zero risk for the concerned driver. At this point I'm estimating the red light up panels will be worth a little more than the standard white which I already have.

Will these fit a white 95 R33 GTR?

If so count me in.

Pretty sure they would. I don't think there's any difference in the garnish between GTR's and GTS-T's. I've seen these things in person and they look fantastic! Better than the factory ones you can get which light up green. Hope you haven't forgotten my order Nick ;)

White is illegal as only white light is allowed to be emitted from the front of your car constantly. Reason being is people will get confused and think you are stuck in reverse. Anyhow, same applies for the front with red light.

Are you going to post some examples of the ones you are working on? I need to see some before I go ahead. :thumbsup:

    • Hey all,   I’ve got an RB25 with a trigger kit that includes a crank wheel, and I’ve hit a wall trying to sort a timing belt tracking issue. The belt either rides right on the edge of the cam/crank pulleys or walks slightly forward once the engine starts. It tracks okay-ish for a moment, then creeps right to the edge—and honestly, it’s stressing me out.   I’ve spent hours removing and reinstalling the belt, double-checking everything:   Tensioner setup is good, checked multiple times Idler pulley and washers are all in the correct places Followed the RB25 timing procedure step-by-step     The only thing I changed was the rear crank washer—I swapped the OEM one for a Neato version, and it made things worse. The belt now sits even more forward than before. I’m beginning to think the crank trigger wheel itself (from the trigger kit) is the issue—poor design or slightly off dimensions.   What’s strange is that with the previous belt setup, it actually ran fine for a couple of years—around 4,000 to 5,000 miles, even with hard driving and high RPMs. But even then, the belt was always riding right on the edge, and I know that’s not ideal or safe long term.   At this point, I’m debating whether to:   Machine a few mm off the crank trigger wheel to bring it back in line, or Replace it entirely with a better-designed unit     Only thing is, I already have the Cherry Hall sensors, bracket, etc.—I just want to replace the wheel only, not the entire kit. Anyone know a brand or supplier that sells just the crank trigger wheel on its own?   Would really appreciate any feedback—especially from anyone who’s run into this exact issue and found a reliable fix.   Thanks in advance.
    • Hi...a little refresh. Is Nistune gonna be enough to run BoV? Or do i need some proper ECU? 
    • Yep that's pretty much what I want to see. Racecars that look and sound like the Group A but with newer tech underneath to make them faster and safer. I'm sure there's enough VK-to-VN commodore, E30 BMWs and Foxbody mustangs shells around to make up a decent number of cars with hopefully a couple of sierras, rx7 and R31s in there too. 
    • Contact Jessestreeter.com/Skevas Racing/JustJap for a new r34 rb gearbox or go a cd00# conversion. No point playing with unknown condition gearboxes.
    • Such a shame places like Amaroo Park have been redeveloped, smaller tracks always make for good racing. Cheers for sharing @PranK there's some good Lakeside video's too. Its so hard with older the cars as parts are so rare and everything was made for a particular chassis at that point in time. Even the V8 Supercar Blueprint era cars are all different between each chassis within a team as they learnt things and made improvements. The COTF cars between each Chassis builder is different too especially motor/oil systems/intakes. The Group A stuff is worth so much too especially chassis with good history. The only way to do it would be composite panels and similar engine drivelines to the original cars. Ford sierra running Focus RS driveline, Commodore running a short stroke LS/LT or a Falcon with coyote and a H Pattern dog box. Could use a standard ecu across all models with a Torque Map and DBW for parity which is not even used in Supercars currently. Hell a TCM is almost a full chassis car these days and the suspension is not even close to standard style in the front running cars.
