its wired up to the brake lights but i chose to wire it up with the wires that would light up when i turn on the lights and not when i brake.. am i making sense here? i dont know how to put it in a shorter and less confusing sentence...

i sprayed the garnish to fit the car color (but it doesnt :D ) , cos the garnish is clear and the leds would be too bright, i put some masking tape over the letters, was planning to peel em out after i sprayed the garnish, but when i fitted it on b4 peeling the tape out, it looked good enough. had that 'embossed' look. so was happy leaving the masking tape on ;) ..

about the color, anyone know where i can get the exact colors for touch up in a spray can? color is gmg..

I bought my touch up paint from 3d paint, give them the colour code from under your bonnet and they have the mixture in their system as long as it is an original colour.

Can you buy the series one fascia that you need anyone? im really keen to do this :D

I rang a jap wreckers in brisbane cost me 50bucks posted to CQ, 60 dollars for leds(30'000; brightest i could find) bout 60cents for resistors. and 40 for paints so far.

Heres mine so far, except the gap between the top and main part has been filled with sickaflex and painted....only problem im having is painting around the letters, its sorta mounding from the letter to the back part on a 45degree angle sorta and not squaring off?¿? if ya can understand what im trying to say.

I painted mine black everywhere bar the letters, then gone white everywhere, so it looks like a normal series 2 during day. shines through well enough i believe.

DR D00F, thats really cool. Do they flash or something? Or fade? Is that ur car? What happened 2 ur plates?

They go red on brakes... I'm thinking about making either a flashing blue one for shows to go with the neons on the car (programmable) or to make it flash a number of different colours, or just ultra violet :laugh: Haven't quite decided... all will cost me about $280 to $300...

Im surprised there's no easy way to get this done thru ebay or something.

I want mine to light up!

There is an easy way :) either through me or MLT15E (also on the forums) but I have yet to actually sell one cause people get scared at the price :bunny:

Ppl have to understand that they are not cheap to make. Ive been making mine since August last year, i want it to be perfect :D (paintings the problem)

Some bloke wanted to buy the original green off a mate for $900, apparently he couldnt work out how to get it off at the time ??? have you got a photo of the circuitry for a special one, do you use a lot of LEDs on one board or just the one colour?

yeah it's not some backyard job... I get my painting done at a proffesional spray painters...

Depends what you mean by special really... I don't know if I have made a special one just yet... been busy in life and stuffs, hopefully one will get made in the next few months after I move (again) :)

How much are you selling these for mate? Interested

I read somewhere once you could buy a new original one through nissan for around 600?????

Well that makes mine cheap as! :P

$350 for everything, $50 less if you can get a good series 1 (clear) facia to me :)

did mine recently, looks mad as! :laugh:

Piccies?! :D

Piccies?! :nyaanyaa:

yeh? thats not to bad i guess. Are yours LED or EL sheeting?

and if they are LED, the individual lights dont stick out like dog balls do they?

Cheers.

It does a bit actually! :D

Sorry I didn't see this before...

Nah that's not my car, it's on Cassbo's car :( That one is fairly ordinary, doesn't do much... I'll be working on a strobing, flashing, controllable one soon, but it will take a LOT of time (I might have some of that soon! :P) and quite a bit of money...

EDIT: Turns out I did see this before and already answered it :D

LED, and no, as you can see they are pretty evenly spread...

Hey

Would you make a couple and sell in a group buy?

I would be quite interested in a either red led or blue led background.

Can u make it for a Series 2 R33? ;)

i think i read further back in the thread that you cant do it for a series 2 r33?

Correct me if im wrong, otherwise id certainly do mine as well :)

I wouldnt mind one for my Series 2 as they really look awesome :(

    • Hi, wondering if the HKS bar and water reservoir still available? Thanks 
    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not
