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.

      Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.

      Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using.

      There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.

      Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.
