I'm planning to do that on my S1 33 (with the clear SKYLINE panel). I've got a can of touch-up paint made up, the plan is to spray the whole 'garnish', then use a sharp blade to gently scratch off the paint over the top of the letters. Then, I'm going to dremel out the back of the garnish and mount some LED's in there. These will be wired to come on with my taillights I think... I may go with an extra switch (but still hooked into the tail-lights so I don't leave them on by accident and flatten my battery)... we'll see!

I'll post up some pics when it's all done.

You gotta love guys you do a favour for than get smart cause it was late. Every one want's something for free don't they!

I think it also looks like a great mod! I'm going to look into it a bit more. Doesn't look to difficult. Hope your finger gets better! You are a Dr anyway so you should be fine. lol

Yeah I know, Zilch is a bastard :D STILL hasn't paid for the whole thing yet!

I installed another one just last night too on a white 33, it's the first pic in my sig... goes red on brakes...

I'm starting to think about different colours and designs too... Got a lot of ideas in my head and a few schematics drawn up, but it all costs money unfortunately...

With the LEDs, do you need to add some resistors into the mix? Just remembering how I blew a LED in my air-con unit after 3 seconds :D. Oops...

Absolutely! If you know the specs for the LED's you're using, here is a little tool to calculate what size resistors you should use: http://led.linear1.org/led.wiz

LOL Doofy, well if I must... For the record Doof and I are good friends, we're just slagging each other(happens a lot)

I came round a corner too fast in Neutral Bay last week, straight into an RBT.

Got a stern talking to and while they were running my license, rego etc. One of the senior constables comes up and says, that's a real cool idea you have on the back there with that light up panel but I don't think you should have the blue LEDs. I politely informed that some R33s came like this from factory only they were green to which he was pretty stumped. He then decided that it still wasn't acceptable for the road and that only red was allowed :P It's still pink however :teehee:

They also tried to defect my gauges but thankfully never asked me to pop the bonnet as then I'd be screwed. Got off without a speeding fine as well :P

So my advice, just go Red, it looks mad anyway, especially on a black or similarly dark coloured car.

If you want to change yours Zilch, I can do it for a lot less cause we already have the facia, it's painted, and the mounting points for the electronis too... Plus I can re-use the one in yours too...

I can switch it around so it's red, then more red on brakes, or you can get really tricky with the same type of circuit, but swap out the blue for something else... maybe orange or ultra violet? :P Hell... I can even get colour changing ones if you REALLY want to get in trouble :teehee:

PS: Come to the meet tonight :P

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      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

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      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.
