i saw this jet black ute with hardcore smoked taillights and i thought it looked very nice. i was wondering if any of you guys have done it before?

from my undderstanding its some sort of spray? that you coat over the lights u want.

here are some pics.

its called nightshades

u can buy it from supercheap auto.

but it wont turn out like those lights, its ugly. Thie ones above look like they have had an actual tint job not a spray

the lights were tinted? gee didnt know u could do that

and it'll just get you defected anyway

i dont undestand how it would break any laws? the light will still be red

I've seen it done on some cars. If you can tint them lightly, your tail lights still show up. Apparently Nightshades (by VHT) is only that black when you have the lights turned off; somehow its not meant to tint your tail lights too noticably when the lights are on.

You'll still get defected though, regardless.

350Z-Tech has a great HowTo (with video) on the process. Do it properly, I've seen some people do it on their cars and its come out matte. The 350Z-Tech guys manage to get it to a glossy finish.

    • This is how I last did this when I had a master cylinder fail and introduce air. Bleed before first stage, go oh shit through first stage, bleed at end of first stage, go oh shit through second stage, bleed at end of second stage, go oh shit through third stage, bleed at end of third stage, go oh shit through fourth stage, bleed at lunch, go oh shit through fifth stage, bleed at end of fifth stage, go oh shit through sixth stage....you get the idea. It did come good in the end. My Topdon scan tool can bleed the HY51 and V37, but it doesn't have a consult connector and I don't have an R34 to check that on. I think finding a tool in an Australian workshop other than Nissan that can bleed an R34 will be like rocking horse poo. No way will a generic ODB tool do it.
    • Hmm. Perhaps not the same engineers. The OE Nissan engineers did not forsee a future with spacers pushing the tie rod force application further away from the steering arm and creating that torque. The failures are happening since the advent of those things, and some 30 years after they designed the uprights. So latent casting deficiencies, 30+ yrs of wear and tear, + unexpected usage could quite easily = unforeseen failure. Meanwhile, the engineers who are designing the billet CNC or fabricated uprights are also designing, for the same parts makers, the correction tie rod ends. And they are designing and building these with motorsport (or, at the very least, the meth addled antics of drifters) in mind. So I would hope (in fact, I would expect) that their design work included the offset of that steering force. Doesn't mean that it is not totally valid to ask the question of them, before committing $$.
    • The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.
    • But again, the engineers said your cast aluminium would be fine based on the load that would be stretching that section. Same load stretching the bolts in a flex (not the twist), with a much smaller cross sectional area than the original part you've broken. It's why you'd need to be using higher strength bolts, but that's just making up for the strength you lose with less area...
    • I am truly amazed someone on this planet was able to cycle the pump using a scan tool. I've always ghetto cycled them on Nissan 90s shit boxes by slamming the brakes and pulling the handbrake to agitate the rear wheels enough to cause a speed difference
