The lockleys center was all mortgages wasn't it? What did your dad do exactly if you don't mind me asking

Just asked him and apparently he only worked at Lockleys, he was going to move to Bedford Park but he left for another bank.

In relation to the work, I think it was mostly call centre stuff, probably in mortgages. He left some time ago so I can't be exactly sure.

anyone here good with electronics and know much about LEDs

tryin to work out how u compare the brightness of LEDs to incandescent globes. im making my own LED tail light replacements for the 4WD (not ricey altezza styles, basically removing the incandescent globe and having a panel of LEDs behind the factory lenses).

Using those LED Globes u can buy off the shelf is useless, they dont reflect right and are dull in my fittings. Want something that is bright in the day, but not stupid bright at night. The fittings im making will be more waterproof than my standard lights too :)

Matty the LCD works in MCD's which compares to the light colour spectrum. you also need to take into account the light spread , which is very focused on most LED's compared to a normal globe which is why they can look like a hotspot

the newer flat mount LED's are brighter and disperse light much better.cost a lot more though.

voltage on most LED's is not 12volts, you need a resistor to use them, OHM law comes into play depending on how many you use, LED's don't like forward overcurrent and will blow if they see too much. and on some Nissans and other cars the light globe curcuit senses a blown globe and when you put in LED's it flashes on all the time unless you compensate for the lost resistance .

take a look at this site, might give you an idea

http://www.gizmology.net/LEDs.htm

to buy LED's here cost too much, order from China, way cheaper , 20 bucks buys a huge bag full with resistors

I can help you but to create a panel of LED's to look decent can take a lot of trial and error.

They look familiar...looks tuff 10mm bolt on will fix that

I like it with GTR wheels , gives it the updated look without going obnoxiously over the top anyway

looks like its already so wide it flicks muddy water down the door..lol

huge cheap ass spacers = fail

The engine light on my R34 has come on, it has come on before but normally goes off within 5 minutes but not this time, has been on for a few days. any idea what the problem might be? or should i go and get a diagnostic done? if so where would be a good place to go?

Nissan?

Or someone with a consult cable.

Doesn't that normally mean the timing is stuffed or it's 'pinging'? Or is that only if you have a PowerFC plugged in?

Or I might be completely wrong altogether.

Yep I can diagnose without seeing the car - there are only about 120 or so errors that can make your check engine light come on ;)

only 120? i thought you were good enough to know exactly which one haha ;)

ive got it booked in tomorrow, hopefully its nothing to serious

Haha yeah hopefully it is nothing. Have you checked ALL of your fluid levels - sometimes it is something that simple. My cas plug used to also come unplugged a little bit on my R34 which would throw an error code that would come and go - maybe give yours a wiggle and see if it is loose at all? Good luck with it, anyhow!

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
