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.

  • 1 year later...

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

    • I am getting the same issue. Did you resolve it? I just got it after installing my new super coppermix and literally the same issue, new fork, new 18mm carrier, release bearing that came with the kit and replicated the exact same sound. 
    • If you like - I have the STL files so I can email em. There's a couple of gotchas (i.e the holes are not threaded so you might need/will need) to utilize some M3 melt-in threads for some of the points. However if you want to be super accurate, and are willing to remove your calipers and your SHOCKS it's a really good tool. You also might need to scale the part that measures the tyre width a bit wider. It defaults to a 7.5in tyre and I mean who is running that. Luckily with the magic of CAD this is very easy to rescale.
    • jeebus. glad you weren't under it while performing the stunt. Also thanks for the link to the wheel measurer, exactly what I needed
    • In the older stuff there were very significant differences 2wd to 4wd, for example Stagea had strut front end for 2wd and double wishbone for 4wd so it was not minor to swap. From poking around the 2wd v37, it *looks* like it might be more possible; some of the parts specifically have "2wd" stamped on them which suggests the platforms are more similar. You'd still want to start with a 4wd half cut to swap stuff from though. I'd suggest if you don't have a tune on the ECU you don't really need one on the trans either. Throttle mapping is in the ECU side (and you can always use a Roar Pedal if you want the throttle to actually respond to your foot), and really if you are happy with the stock power you probably accept the stock trans behaviour too....its all made to be "sporty" not racey.
    • So, updates. I have not washed the car since it came back from Tassie. I've driven it around a bit but not got around to actually sorting it out. I DID raise it because I cracked the rear bar leaving a hotel which was very distressing. Interestingly, the car drives more compliant now that it's raised a fair bit (5mm front, 15mm rear). Also noticed that my FR height was 10mm lower than FL. So that's now sorted out, too. I also bought this and had it printed: https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/1576422240/wheel-and-tire-fitment-tool-universal?ref=shop_home_feat_1&dd=1&logging_key=08f604d9fa4cc383550ba985e6ac85cd5cac7fbb%3A1576422240 Now, if I was smart I would have taken my brake calipers off to actually use this correctly but it was evident enough to me that in the region where the caliper was... there was nothing to hit suspension/guard/arm wise. So I'm going with "it'll be fine" after using the tool to hopefully very precisely measure the wheel clearance. Also while doing this, I had the very VERY bad idea of jacking one of the wheels/suspension arms up while the rest of the car was on jack stands. I did this to see how the arm would travel. This all was well and good until the car slid off the stands and went through a fence. So don't do that. Incredibly nobody was hurt and there was only minor damage to the rear bumper as the car didn't have far to slide, and had 3-4 wheels on it. The only damage turned out to be the fence itself which was easy to fix, and a little bit of damage to the fibreglass rear bumper trim. I had already planned to try a touch up paint kit to fix the time I drove into my garage door to see if it'd help in the interim before I get it fixed properly. I used the Dr Colorchip kit after looking online and seeing everyone talking about it. Yes it's made for chips and not huge broken missing pieces and I'll be 500% recommending it for stone chips after using it for stupid things like me. This took about ... 10 minutes and looking at the half assed photo the 30 second job I did on the bumper corner was almost perfect just by using the tiny little brush and painting it in. The sealact stuff to remove over-painting is really useful, so if/when I do it again I'll likely slather the touch up paint well over it and then clean it up with the cleaning solution. The wheels should arrive in a couple of weeks. I am still kinda confident after doing a stupid amount of measuring (and borrowing a set of 18x10.5+15) that they will not fit because I overlooked something, somehow and flew too close to the sun. ALSO R34 GTR guard liners do not fit on a GTT. I bought the undertray brake duct guides and had the wonderful problem of them not fitting my intake, my oil cooler and the liners themselves were even worse. Attempting to fit them won't work in general - You would have to cut them up as another poster mentioned as the bodywork is different on the GTT. At least I can try to resell them. So instead of cutting those up, I cut up my old already-cut-up GTT liners and extended them by using some PP plastic and drilling some 8mm holes for some nissan clips for the 'extra' bit. Because I was happy to cut them I was able to mount them pretty damn forward so I now have some semblance of guard liners, and the brake vents seal the bumper from the bottom. It sort-of-looks like this, to give some idea - If you look at the GTR and then the GTT this is when I realised that I needed to seriously measure as the inside of the rim area is entirely, entirely, entirely different and could not take any internet measurements for granted.
