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

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
