Hey guys n gals,

I've got a rear R33 skyline garnish that i've modified so that the SKYLINE letters light up red, im sure alot of you have heard/seen them. Thought i was purchasing a R33 but never went through with it so i have it sitting in my room. It is primed black and ready for you to spray it the colour of your car.

I've attached pictures but they aren't the best because was taken with my phone. It still has the tape over the letters, took the S tape off to show how it will look for photos (obviously still needs paint and clear coat), but have put tape back over it for sale.

Any questions please ask. will post anywhere in Australia.

umm for moderators sake ill put price of $300 ono

Thanks,

Mitch

Sorry mate, 300 is crazy...

I did mine for 60 bux worth of bits from Jaycar... U did a good job, but I would think this thing should only go for 100-120...

gl if u get the price want!

like i said, i put that price up just for mods sake.

good on you for making it that cheap, but it actually cost me from scratch, garnish lights wiring paint etc. Cheers

Really? wow I didnt want it to seem rude, If ur selling it just to get ur moneys worth back on it,

But i did it from scratch too...... how expensive were the lights/wiring and paint for you?

My LED strip for the back was 50 bucks, wiring and switch 10 bucks, I got my panel beater to paint it and matched to my petrol tank cover for free as he owed me, I sanded the letters back myself and I had some silicon in my garage to waterproof it....

Mine cost a butt load to make... but it's a bit more advanced then most :huh:

To be honest, there's a hundred different ways to do it. If you just use an LED strip or something like that, it's cheap. If you build the strip yourself, the electronics for it add up to about $80 alone... then there's the cost of the actual facia, the wiring, painting and sometimes installation.

I've sold a few for $300, I didn't think it was unreasonable... but they were 2 colours...

ive seen a few of urs doof, they are always excellent... I just seriously want to know how it cost 300 for this guy to make essentially wot I did for 60...

with multiple colours and moving lights etc etc I can see how the electronics can get alot more expensive, but this just seems basicly the same as mine.

I didn say it cost me $300 to make mine.. i dont know what they are worth so $300 is just whats popped in my head, like ive said im taking offers. plus id like to make some money for the time and effort that i put into making it :cheers:

I also built one, for a bit of a laugh. Pretty happy with it.

Basically, obtained a clear garnish, painted it sanded back the paint off the letters, clear coated it. Inserted a 3cm EL strip through a slot I created in one end and sealed it up.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
