it "seems" darker than OEM in those pics? i have my old set of lights lying around the garage (Qest are a full light swap like what you're thinking) so if you want to dry and get the real Nismo look, you can have a play with my prev set perhaps.

That's what i noticed as well with the Qest ones on the black backing, you can see the LED's much clearer when they're not on. From the cars i've seen with Nismo ones, this isn't really the case, so they must use a more natural backing colour. Red perhaps, but maybe even a grey or cardboard colour?

I just purchased a 2nd set of lights to either be a test set or for an exchange basis for anyone that wants to do it that way..

I will take a side by side photo to see for any difference in colour and if so I will look into different coloured perspex or mounting the led board further back into the recess of the housings to hide the visibility through the lens. Appreciate the comments too its given me something to look forward to, if you want to do something with your old lights shoot me a PM to discuss it.

Never ended up getting my hands on a set of them :( so the centre brake light is still the only option I have, unless you go from drop-in bulbs...they're good as they light up quick and match the centre light LED speed, they're better RED also over stock.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
