This one is 28 bucks with an inverter and a case.

I'm gonna be gettin 2 red ones tomorrow to use behind my light up panel, hopefully they'll be the same colour as my brakelights :)

This month's catalogue is here

The one I'm gettin is this:

100MM Tubes $11.95 with free inverter

300MM Tubes $19.95 with free inverter

I reckon one or 2 300mm tubes should be enough to light up my arse end of the car ;)

Its all dirt cheap and has many uses (including ricing up your ride)

..$28 is nothing special for CCFL's... most PC shops have them for $30 with the inverter all the time and the sound module.. I think you can get them $20 - $25 if you look around..

Jaycar ones are shit too - you are better off with the PC-type ones

memphis: haha ... i wanna see that :D

btw: thanx for the site update, i just ordered then

don't tell dj_lethal aobut a sale on these things... he'll go evenmore nuts!

lol.. i think he can get them for $20 or something..

yer i was gonna rice out my skyline logo and other things but i got distracted by 50 other things.. time to get back to the ricing

make sure you paint over the letters if it's for a ser 1 R33 as you can't see them when the lights on... kinda defeated the purpose for me...

this is before painting them... looks okay now though...

didn't like the red that was available...was a real bright, off-putting colour... i thought, "if that's all that's available, i may as well contrast" .....

it lights up the whole word if you entre it correctly... may have to trim the black plastic off of the ends of the tubes....

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
