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.

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z

    • Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
