Im in progress of finding LEDS to fit in the orginal casing of the rear lights, so it looks amazing at night. iIm also wondering if its posible to digitalise the interior for example digital speedo like the r35 gtr and also changing the center console gauges but leaving them in the orginal casing but make them digital somehow.

tbh, the led rear lights dont look that good, especially if you can see the individual diodes, makes it look worse.

there's no modernising the tailend, but i like it that way i guess, as for the interior, if you can figure out how to modernise that centre console, would be good.

but i do like the dash design.

Led's dont really suit the car ... but if you like it go for it !!

Motec... though technically thats not a modern dash... its a racecar dash.

SOmeone in the projects section us fitting a 350z interior into an R32... that would be my choice for 'modernization'.

Anyone know where to get digital speedos etc?

got digital rpm,boost and oil pressure

make your way down to autobahn and buy the drift iridium series there fairly pricy when i got mine roughly 300 ea when i got mine comes in blue and red

If I had to pick the LED's it'd be the first pic as it still kind of keeps the stovetop/afterburner look

the mismatched patterns just look wrong

personally if it was my car, I'd want to keep the car as original as possible especially an r32 GTR

my opinion only though

good luck with your project :)

the simple fact of the matter is this, You modify a car to your own tastes because at the end of the day it is you who is going to have to live with it day in and day out. I have wanted to do a full digital instrument cluster in my R32 for awhile but the costs involved aren't really cheap, You may also want to look into a HUD as well just for shits and giggles.

In regards to LED tail lights I have a set on my R32 as I wanted to know what they looked like and my original ones were leaking so I had to pull the out anyway to reseal them. Here are what my ones look like

lol try hard ?

the styles are very similar if not the same to the nismo r34 led tail lights?

they try hard too

yes, looks crap, the look of the individual diodes don't look good at all, even if its on an r34.

needs a way to prevent the LEDs from being visible i reckon, but that's just me.

I finally found what im looking for LEDS in original casing Thanks to MARCUS!! Also has a glittter background so it glitters a little during the daylight, ANd the blinker is Clear they taken out the yellow tint and put a yellow bulbs in, They are basically nismo quality hand made and much brighter. If you scroll up at Xalmons post im getting the last one, the flower like pattern, I saw it on a R34 and it lookked AWESOME in the night and in the day it looks original , Just a faint glittery shine look like little red diamonds. I was told they look awesome and Ten times better the the individual led tail lights like what i have on now. they look tacky and cheap especially for a GTR

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
