yup a little too ricey for my liking...but still better than the stock lighting on most skylines. i would have gone with a different color personally, along with teh boost guage color aswell. Not bad tho!

I like it! Altho I have been known to like ricey things like neons and extra lighting, but it looks much better than stock. How did you do it? Was it in a kit, or DIY? I hate my dash lights, and I'd love to have something like that, only red.

DIY with use of dan666's white led's at the back and blue led's projecting on the white dials. I've also got a switch to turn the blue lights off so it just looks like a standard dash with white numbers.

I was going to go all bright white but wanted some contrast and the blue matched the turbo timer which was already in place.

you wanna go blind from driving?

stock dials with LEDs pwn, get some from 666DAN

I originally had Dan's blue led's in the dash but with the amec white dials, colour distribution was poor and just looked like poo. Then I bought the bright white leds which worked well except I got bored of that after a short while so I tried this.

It's really not that bright, it's just the pics.

what did you use to shine the light onto the dash?

bit bright on the pics but looks quite cool imo

Nah, it's not a light shining onto the dash mate... he changed the LED globes... you can get them off ebay etc...

i currently have some red leds behind my dash from dan666 but he mentioned he has some projecting and i was curious.

did ur look like mine? i like the blue leds... i put them in my A/C unit n their fine (match my dvd plater buttons nicely) but in the dash, right infront of the leds is perfect blue but everywhere else is very faded as no light is getting there... how well did the white ones work?

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
