Yeah the pictures don't do it justice, I wish I could be driving behind my car all the time, at night it's mesmorizing :)

I wish I can see em in real life, as I too realised photos wouldn't show how good they look in person :)

HOLY CRAP first you hook me up with some awesome dash lights, now your trying to do a LED Tail Light Kit, very impressed and very interested in a set for a 4door sedan :D, keep up the great work and hopefully it all falls into place.

wont be able to do any others for about 3 weeks (holidays, racing etc)

They need to be installed into your factory housings so if you are happy to be without taillights for a week (1-2 days fitting and return postage) im happy to do them for $500 including return postage.. If you need your taillights because its a daily im looking at buying a spare set and doing it on an exchange basis for the same price (but a $100 retainer that will be refunded when your lights reach me to ward off people trying to keep both)

If you are interested say so here or PM me and ill start up a group buy.

Here are some more build pics

underbody coat to protect wiring and joins from the elements and corrosion etc, plus it looks nicer.

I have had another person ask for indicators, it wouldnt be too hard at all. they would obviously cost a little more and take longer as I wouldnt release it until i was sure that it worked flawlessly..

as a side note, took the car down to canberra and they were perfect all the time, even survived a -4degree night covered in ice

does the black backing make the lights look 'tinted' when they're not on? have you pulled apart a Nismo set? do they mount on black backing? i've got the Qest ones, they look great and are made very nicely but back is too light, i want the OEM look like Nismo.

I take it these are brighter than Nismo?

Depending on how close the discs are mounted, you don't really notice anything, the better option is to spray them RED, or Silver and they are seemless, our old kits used a fairly heavy silk-screened and soldered board, but the larger one had to be mounted further back to avoid uneveness in the LED ring (you'll notice some kits go blurry for about 25% of the ring where they're not parallell to the red lens)

Hey Daniel I just went outside and took a photo so you can see for yourself, I dont think they do and look as per factory minus being able to see the LED's which is exactly the same as genuine nismos as I was lucky enough to have a friend with a set that let me get nice and close to look at it all but didnt pull it apart as we were far from home.

I will try and mount the boards further back for some people if they prefer to hide the LED's a bit as my set are basically a test set till I buy another set of lights to 'experiment' on

here you go

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
