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.

    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
