So it started out with buying blue replacment LED's for the clusters from 666DAN... but my climate controll lights didnt work, i honestly didnt even know if they were meant to have lights..

took it all appart to find that i had everything needed to turn the existing blown bulbs into blue LED's laying about in my workshop...

Looks SWEET now, gonna have a go at getting the LCD backlight blue tomorrow maybe...

I was also thinking about mounting 2 blue LED's inside the air vents so small amounts of blue light comes out of the vents... But on the other hand... That might be too much blue, As the new sterio is gonna be blue theamed aswell.

If i decide to do the Air vent LED's does anyone know the easiest spot to tap into the light circuit?

Thats sick! I really want to get mine done, but I've run into so much trouble with it. My last attempt killed one of the LED's. Couldn't find a replacement, so got a whole AC unit replaced.

My original unit was from a series 2 so it had different lights.. now I'm not even sure what LED globes I need from Dan666..... *sigh*

you need to place a resistor in series with the LED to limit the current, other wise it basically shorts out the unit.

i used 2* 180 ohm resistors giving 360ohm total that limited the current to around 25mA whish is the value that these specific LED's create the maximum light output

Slightly off topic but does anyone know how to even out the bright vs dull spots on the dash? I too have recently fitted white multi-angle LED's (from 666DAN) to my R34GTR.

Don't think it's possible man. I've got this kit of 666DAN also and it's the best it can be afaik. I think red LED's make it perfect but.

Here is my setup... I've changed the double DIN HU to Snigle and put a consult display unit underneath.

very nice.... i like it..

You can never have too much blue lol i can barely see out my windscreen at night so many cobalt guages in my face, lol looks maad but i think a lower voltage transformer or somethin might be in order....

Looks cool man.

That looks really sick mate. To bad I can't make mine Blue I'm force to do it red. Main reason is the R34 GT T series II has a film over the dash so on well I am happy for you. It turn out really nice and sick :D . Think of blue neon above the pedals and under seat as well.

    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
    • Run some injector cleaner through it I had a similar issue that plagued me for months, even tried replacing the cat. If one or more injectors are blocked up the ecu sees ping so pulls timing and makes the tune rich overall, you'll see black smoke coming out of the exhaust and like me assume it's running rich but it could only be one or two cylinders  $10 bottle of injector cleaner and the next time I hit boost it pumped out a huge plume of black smoke, cleared the blockage and then ran great, if that's not the issue it's only a cheap thing to try haha
