Go all out like this guy

thats just begging for it lol. unless its an actual cop car..

I think you wire these up to your existing globes?

edit; or make up a circuit

lol nah i wouldnt do that

or would i

the DIY only flashes the lights one-by-one. Trying to find one which flashes the left a couple of times before switching to the right. Prob some simple circuit for any electrical guru.

Random flash with headlight override.

the one on the silvia, isn't there a controller to alter the flashes to whatever pattern u want?

Not sure on which kit they are using. There are a lot on ebay which have a controller connected to little LED globes which you would then insert into the headlight housing. (most likely by drilling a hole and poking it in)

Less destructive if can find a circuit diagram which taps into the existing headlight power wires. Would probably be much brighter too.

you can put a relay in line to each headlight and connect the headlights to the normally closed, then wire 12v through the flasher to the relays. when they get a signal from the flasher they will cut power to the headlights b/c the relay opens the circuit.

ah there we go. Pick up one of those el cheapo flashers off ebay. Chop off the LED globes, hook them up to a relay which is connected to the headlights and bobs your uncle. (i think)

All these people whinging about idle/start up problems, my car must've been solid, never once had any issues with anything like that..

All these people whinging about people whinging. I wasn't whinging, so quit whinging. I haven't fixed it on my car in the 2 and a half years I've had it. If I was whinging, I would have got it fixed it, and then whinged about it here in the whingeland thread. So sick of people whinging about other people's whinging, and now I'm sick of whinging about it.

End whinge.

mmmm interesting. time for some ebay shopping

let me know if you stumble across a cheap one. Wouldnt mind testing my above theory haha

[R-SPEC]

hmmz might just get one of them cheap led flashers and mount em on the front bar somewhere. dont think i wanna hack into the wiring on my headlights lol and also dont know how reliable that would be on the headlights on the long run..

I actually have the EPA number in my phone lol. Should use it more often when I see shitboxes spitting out clouds of smoke all the time.

[dezz]

I had the number but forgot to put it in the post

[R31Nismoid]

I call the EPA all the time for smoke blowing shitboxes

[Astro Bear]

I only contact the EPA for people who drop cigarettes and other litter. When I drive past them, I stick my head out of the window and yell, "You're gonna regret that!". Then I yell, "Flawless Victory!!!".

They look pretty f**kin terrible without being dumped on mad offset wheels, and that red leather is horrid.

[R-SPEC]

sif that looks terrible... red interior + black/white exterior = win

[dezz]

I don't go for the tacky look, that leather belongs in a commodore...

Terrible

the lovely thing about skylines is that it could be SO MANY things..

Such fond memories of driving in the middle lane in heavy traffic at 100km/hr on the ring rd.. down the hill after Sydney rd.. ***STALL**.. sheeeet! Trying to restart and change to left lane safely at same time... while rolling down the hill at 100km/hr.. FARK it's almost funny now.. lol. Managed to get it to start before the bottom of the hill.. Think I lost a few years off my life tho..

OH PS that one was from dodgy AFM

i had a similar moment on the ring rd, going past kelior park drv at about 100kph, the car started to splatter and then just stalled.......lost power steering and breaks thinking wot da f*** put it in nutral hazzeds on slowed down and pulled over.

it started back up straight away and i drove home easy, ended up being coil packs wer gone..... put splitfires that week and she been fine scince....well for now.
