hey mate,

what led's did u use for dash lights... i brought sum of the proper blue t10's (think thats what they are called) from 666DAN on here but only worked for a week or so and now none of my dash gauges light up (only warning lights and indicators do so).....

thinking it may be faulty dash clucter tho

bought them on ebay @ 20 bucks, they are the ones with about 5 little LEDs on the t10. 2 of them just stuffed up the other day and im looking into making some new ones myself which can handle the voltage, i'll let u know how I go.

Nice dash lights but not a big fan on the glitter interior. Just a suggestion, if you have the spare cash perhaps a new steering wheel. Im looking into getting one probably momo but not sure which model as yet, any suggestions ppl?

In re to 666Dan leds, originally he was supplying Leds that handle only 12volts of current but after a few complaints from ppl stating their lights would randomly flash & then eventually die in the ass he investigated the matter and discovered the dash voltage level in the skylines would randomly fluctuate. He now supplies 16volts leds which i have recently installed & so far so good but it's only been a week, so finger's crossed. Blue leds rock!

Nice work mate! Unique. I have the blue 5LED globes and none of mine work atm....they come on randomly but I havent had a full cluster in ages! Cobalt gauge selection tops it off. I wouldnt go changing steering wheel, I like the stock one, besides, jus as an example, here in Mildura I hear of people being done for not having an impact material on their wheels and replacing the airbag is a big no-no. Ur call tho. Do I see AVS rims under your car??

Once again, great to see individual tastes and ideas, even if they arnt everyones cup of tea!

Yeah, thanx mate. U can't c in the photos but at night under the proper light u can see my purple pearl through the clear which i put on top of the glitter spray ( the photos were done via my phone so they don't look right). Anyway I got the autometer cobalt series because they were the only gauge that matched the stock cluster and i wanted the needle in the gauge to be lit, but little did i know that they lit up blue at night, so i had to change my cluster lights cuz i hate it when they don't blend in. PS. those are AVS shoes u c, but will be white 19" Enkei soon i hope..

Well, it's RICE... however, I have to say, you tastefully 'riced' up your car. LEDS are nice and make the car look clean and sporty in my opinion whereas the consoles and glitter etc are your opinion so don't let anyone tell you what you should or should not do - -personal taste.

Overall, nice... I'll PM you as I need new dash LEDS and might need your help - I'm from Melbourne too.

Looks good Steve,

How did you take the drivers door control panel off? I've resprayed my dash a matt black, and now need to do the door handle bit.

 Hi, thanx. U need to look in the coin hole and u'l see a little black cap at the bottom, take the cap off with a small flathead screwdriver (from the right hand side) and u'l see a screw under that. Unscrew that and then you can yank it off, don't be afraid to use a little force because its clipped in aswell. Same goes for the passenger side.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
