It looks like custom work done by a company in the states called Clear Corners - they have some way to clear the color from any lights, you just send in your lights and wait 2 weeks or something ... maybe intense UV ravs or something?

I have seen all sorts of cool things that have been done by these guys, but you can bet that the R33 ones would be very rare as Skylines are almost unheard of over there.

i've seen that clear lights on a white R33 GTST with no plate IMPRTS (from my memory which isn't v. good). it didn't look too bad on a white car, though no way in hell i would spend money on getting rid of my red stoves... what would those lancer drivers see at night then???? :shake:

Hell I brought mine cause I was sick off looking and drooling over all the ones I would see on the road.

Now they can have a look at mine..

My car is all Silver with Charcoal front, rear, bottom bits, was thinking of painting the surrounds of the Stoves to match the bumpers and bring out the lights even more.

I would also like to have the interior area of the head lights silver instead of black.

Clear tail-lights dont generically look good. Like i mean, just cause a tail light is clear don't mean it looks good. They don't look too good at all. Red tail lights look alot beter on Skylines. Some cars look good with clear tails - Some don't - and Skylines are one of them :D

Oh - and they do look photoshopped in that pic. If they were real you'd think the back of the tail light would be a bit more reflective? Like looking through the red ones - the back of the tail light looks bright and metallic - as if it were silver, right?

In that pic it looks like it's a flat grey colour

*shrugz*

Who care's anyway - they're ugly we already established that :D

Rock em on ....

I want em now ..... damn it ... i would mount some REAL xenon units behind them, they come in red (check out the farnell catalogue $100each) ...

But who knows if it would work like i want it too ...

It would be an expensive way to fine out ...

i supose i should be more concerned with gettin the car fixed first ...

ALHAIL is from Newcastle I think. I saw him at a mini cruise we had around Newy. It's one of the better looking skylines I've seen and it has a damn loud exhaust. The clear lights definitely made it stand out, but as everyone else is saying, I'd never get rid of my stovelights.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.

      Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
