If you're talking about http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...=172061&st=

I've already read it and it doesn't help as the lights are different ;)

Just need to know if anyone around here has done this possibly on a R34

did you see this thread

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=172056

there was final pics of the lights in evesdropping first reply

i haven't done it yet, still have to buy the LEDs

The lights aren't exactly the same as the ones in Dan's thread.

The lights i have are longer and hence i need to chop off the base of the light if i was to use the existing holders.

Don't know if i can cut these off though :)

Just an update guys.

I managed to fit them in with no soldering required.

Might write up a DIY when i have time.

All i did was to trin down the LED base and the OEM holders and wire up the wires into the factory holder positions.

Then i simply screwed them back in and wallah!

WOOT WOOT!!!

All looks good now.

Thanks for the offers guys.!!!!

isn't that what it said to do in the DIY thread?

If u have a R34, u know the globes will not fit in the holders no matter how much trimming is done.

I had to improvise and just let it hang on to the holders with th wires holding it in place.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.

      Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
