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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I actually had the cover off my car today, here is a (bad) pic of the setup. I have an oil cooler thermostat block, the temp sender is straight in there. The pressure sender has a short AN line to a T piece which is mounted (hopefully cable tied counts as mounted....) on the chassis. BTW every fitting you could ever imagine exists....just depends what they cost and how many you need. Raceworx AN adapters are here: https://raceworks.com.au/fittings/adapters/, I think you said you need BSPT to AN (https://raceworks.com.au/fittings/adapters/bsp/tapered/an-to-bspt-adapters/) and AN to NPT (https://raceworks.com.au/fittings/adapters/npt/) BTW, braided line is super simple to make. It looks intimidating, is not.

      I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?

      Anyone running the VQ37VHR with forced induction?

      I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
