Hey, My R32 GTST came with one of those add on things that go over the top of the Word skyline which makes it light up (blue or green)

Does anyone know anything about them...i really wanna connect it and i heard that ya have to have some special relay or something

I also heard that they were an optional extra when buying a skyline new...and u could select either Green or blue

Is it just better to buy a small neon or getting the right relay...or simply connecting it up again???

Thanks!

I could just buy some of that flexi neon stuff...but i wanna see what its like with the propper lights in it...i think it reflects the chrome part or soemthing...ill pull it apart one day and check it all out

I wonder if i just somehow i find away to connect it up...maybe it will work

i heard that u can connect ur break lights so the reflect into the skyline part to light it  up but not sure exactly

Damn that would be cool...I WANNA DO THAT!!!....imagine having it glow blue then as u break it turns red....would have to have a seprate red light which is jumped off of the break lights...is that possible???

Anyone know how to do this????

Where there is a will there is a way i sopose

anything is possible really

what you could possibly do is place mirrors in there so that it reflects the red through the word when u break and when u dont it shines back to blue or whatever colour you want

you would need some sort of kill switch to cut the current when u press the brakes so that the blue turns off

I've got the blue/green ricey "SKYLINE" on my 33. I had the car for two weeks before someone else pointed it out !! You gotta scrape the mylar foil off the lettering (ie remove the panel) light goes in behind, wired to GND and switched thru taillights, hey presto you're the son of rajab Of The Rice ( one rice to rule them all).

Personally I reckon it would be quite a mission, but I guess it looks cool enuff to some folks to warrant the effort.

hope this helps.

It's definitely aftermarket, 'cos the Jap who installed it didn't scrape off all the mylar, & just twisted bare wires together & wrapped a bit of masking tape around the whole lot....dodgey !!

hmm unsure of that one...i guess if u put neons behind it and have them so u cant see the direct light and only the glow..then should be all good

Should be fine as well with the glowing off the chrome...but who knows

Me too! me too!! i want one.. may seem ricey to some, but its a factory optional extra.. and i just want it! Does anybody have one? which cars normally have it? How can you tell if it has is the illuminated one? will have to go to jap wreckers and hunt around.. Oh, i dont see how it could be illegal, its a factory optional extra...

U will know if u have one cos it is a stick on plastic thing...at the moment i have mine in bits...cos the acual factory light blew up...probably cos i found it full of water...and im currently trying to put neons in it...i have those flexi EL wire ones but the glow isnt bright enough...i mught just get blue perspec's and put lots of LED's in it insteed...will look cool when finnished...hopefully!!!

U will be lucky if u can find one cos to fit it u need to drill holes into the existing bumper and they use a Sh!tload of glue crap...and its impossible to not rip paint off when taking the glue off...ill hopefully post a pic when i have finnished mine

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
