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.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
