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

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...

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required

      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

      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

      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.
