The standard tail lights are clear underneath... ...The reflector is just plain white too... ...It's the red outer cover that gives the tail lights their colour...

There is a thread from about a year ago where someone explained how they did it and what he used...

They looked good on his car... ...But his car was really themed around ice and snow... ...So it worked...

Big draw back was he got pulled over by the cops all the time because their headlights would reflect back at them in white and not red... ...So he's back to standard red...

As you can see from the pic of the 34 above... ...The red reflector in the middle does look a little naff... ...And most clear ones out there are LED tail lights...

At the end of the day... ...It's your car... ...As you can see a lot of people don't like the clear tail light look on skylines... ...But if it fits the overall look of your car... ...Then go for it...

htial ^^^good memory! here's the thread, that was me :blink:

It's all good... ...I think I remember it so well because it did just look sooo good on your car... ...And we had a good chat about it at a monash meet up... ...and while a lot of the time it does look shit... ...You went about it the right way...

It's just a pity that it was so defect-able...

And did you end up selling them???...

thanks for that, nobody has ever given me a hard time about them, most people love them and everybody wanted to know where i got them etc!

they are sitting around in my garage up for grabs - they cost me a s#!t load but i'll load 'em off for $50 bucks if anyone is interested. the guy that started this thread is gonna come check have a look hopefully over the easter weekend.

Off topic, but btw i got fibreglass 6x9 speaker pods, & my quick release steering wheel boss kit to find a new home also

    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version. 
    • Thanks mate, well done to you too! Yeah not looking forward to doing any major work to it!
