I can get a fading transformer to light up a neon made up to size to fit in there. im not sure on price but if anyone is interested ill call around and see what i can arrange.

rembering i sell REAL neon so its 50times brighter than LED's and AEPRO autobarn stuff. problem is its glass and will need some TLC to install it in there so it doesnt break. But it would be a good effect.

Well,I am not all too familiar with the sanding of the back part yet but ,I once tried it with a Dremel and it was taking the paint off with out putting a hole through it just gotta keep it a nice and easy and be sure not to push down on it because you`ll just cut right through it FUNKMONKEY THE KNIGHT RIDER LIVES HAHA

I tryed to find out about how bright neon is and no one can tell me.

the best way to describe it is that the thicker the tube the duller the light

hungry jacks is 15mm red neon i have some 9mm red neon here. and if u turn it on in darkness u can not look at the tube for too long as it hurts your eyes.

thats the best way i can tell u how bright it is. if u put a mirror or something to reflect the neon behind it it will double in brightness (rubbs my eyes from the testing i have done this morning)

HEY PPLZ!!!! i just complete the first few stages on my badge for a 33... but i'm stuck on there lighting

i have pics on where i'm up too...

but yeah the lights i went to jay car... 30cm is just too damm short!!! it either a 'S' or a 'E' i'm missing... ahehae so yeah i don't know where to get a light...

also the hole i have made to put the light in is quite small.. just enough to fit a 5mm diameter cathode tube or sumthing of that name.. and the light it produces doesn't cover the "SKYLINE" work properly its like its too thin and yeah need some help...

One resistor per LED, any good electronics store will give you what you need, like Jaycar and then hook up to the 12 Volt park light circuit (numberplate wiring is good) and all you need to do is get some plastic or thin MDF or aluminium for a backing and drill 6mm holes to mount your LED's :wizard: Hey presto

auto trust: sounds good enough.. but ill see how good i go... but yeah its goin back on to the car first 2moro.. when i get time ill get it off again.. or when i have built my led Light show...

funky: that red translucent plastic thing i got from a sign writer they didn't have any that sticks so yeah i just cut it and slipped it in.. gonna stick it down sometime soon.. but yeah its just so i get a red lighting..

You know what would look cool.

i work at a lazercutting place and operate a lasercutter. i could cut the word SKYLINE out of 3m or 2m clear perspex rectangle so its the same size as the one of the back of all 33 or 32 skylines. then you could 2pak paint the perspex or sumthing. i dunno just an idea ? i could cut the word out to say anything the number plate of a car GODZILA anything really. but its getting late and it probabaly doesnt make sence lol.

    • Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.
    • So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?
    • Ooo I might actually come and bring the kids, however will leave the shit box home and take the daily
    • Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!
    • That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
