Courtesy Light Extenders - $20 each plus shipping (or pickup from Cheltenham, VIC). Ph: 0422575485 or 9584 2386

Description of item (comes with instructions and circuit diagram):

The Courtesy Light Extender is designed to keep the courtesy light ON for between 1-15 seconds (can be adjusted) after the door has closed. The light then gradually dims, and finally goes out.

The only cars that you would see this on are, expensive cars that accommodate luxury options. So this courtesy light extender unit is a very affordable and easy addition that will allow you to bring this options to your own vehicle.

When entering the car, the courtesy light will give you enough time to put your keys in the ignition, fasten your seatbelt, check the kids and put your mobile in the holder. When your getting out of the car it will let you lock your car and find your way out of the garage in the dark.

Some circuits keep the light on for a pre-determined time then turn it off quickly but this unit gradually dims the light at the end of the 15 seconds so you know when the time has expired. The Courtesy Light Extender is placed across the door switch, interior light or the interior fuse. It is quick and easy to install.

The wire to the door-switch is easily accessible, either through one of the panels on the door or where it connects to the interior light itself. The unit is small enough to feed through the hole of the temporarily removed door switch. this will allow you to install the unit in the chassis behind the switch.

If the Light Extender has been connected across the interior light itself then it will work for all of the doors on the car. If the Light Extender has been placed on only one door switch, say the driver's door, then it will only work when that door is closed.

The two Contact Connectors included will allow you to connect the leads from the light extender module to the existing car wiring without the need for cutting, stripping, slicing or soldering the original car wiring loom. This will allow you to uninstall the unit as easily as it was installed.

The connection of this circuit will not change or modify the original face-value of the car, because you are adding the unit in parallel with the door switch and not cutting any wires or modifying the original state of the car.

This unit cannot damage, in anyway, the circuit containing your battery, the door switch, the interior light globe or any of its components.

lol - my 1986 R31 Skyline GXE had that... hardly "luxury" but anyway, it was cool :D

So do these work off just any 12v line and drop the voltage over time?? I might have some others uses for these in my car. Let me know..

cheers

not trying to steal ya idea at all mate, as if i wantred to do it i would just spend the $20 and buy one off ya :D

      It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.

      By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.

      There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again?

      I haven’t yet cut the chassis, maybe I switch to a reverse flow. I’ve got the Intercooler mounted as I already had it but not cut yet. Might have to speak to an engineer

      Yes that’s another issue, I always have a front mount, plus will be turbo plus intake will big hasstle. I’ve been told if it looks stock they’re fine with it by a couple others who have done it ahahaha.    I know @Kinkstaah said the stock gtt airbox is limiting but I might just have to do that to avoid a defect so it atleast looks legit. Or an enclosed pod so it’s hidden away and feed air from the snorkel and below Intercooler holes like kinstaah mentioned. Hmm what to do
