I converted my set of stock lights to LED's, to make it look like nismo, here's some pics. I'd convert em for people too, for a fee :P

wow, looks amazing!! I like how you use the stock plastic, unlike some tacky one's i've seen around...

how much am i looking at for you to DIY for me? :P

I would attempt it myself, but I don't have the tools or time unfortunately :(

Wow Charles, they look damn good man. I agree with Suwidji and also appreciate how you have used the original light casings. Was it difficult to convert them to LEDs the way you've done? Might go down that track myself.

I've also been looking at a set from MARS Performance. Any opinions on how this set looks...

Also, Suwidji, how do you get that R34 banner at the bottom of all your posts? Would like one myself haha.

Thanks man :D

It's not so much "difficult", although I had no background in electronics lol, I had to learn about LED's and resistors. Just took a little bit of time, also getting the template right took a lot of time.

I had a pair of taillights from MARS, which is now on sale lol, they are pretty good, i actually didnt mind them, "East Bear style". But I now prefer my DIY Nismo style hehe.

Ah yeah, cool. How are yours in terms of brightness? I know the MARS ones are fairly bright but i prefer the Nismo style over the East Bear style. More aesthetically appealing to me. However, I do like the clear indicator section.

I compared them yesterday when I installed it, my DIY ones are definitely brighter than the MARS ones lol. And plus, I can choose whatever LED i want and whatever resistor I want to use to reduce/increase the brightness :P

At the moment, I'm using 12000MCD LED's, and when braking, they are 100% brightness, but when it's parkers, it's probably about 80% or so?

I also converted my centre brake light on my boot :)

Qest use the highest quality leds available in Japan hence it reflects on their price.

The lifetime on them is extremely long and highest quality.

They use the genuine Nissan housings fully refurbished and highest quality electronic parts available.

I know the owner well and if anything he goes overkill on making these.

I can get them for 10% off the Japanese retail price.

If you want info on purchasing them flick me a pm.

It's kind of a DIY job fellas. Got the LED ones off eBay (they're the same ones that daniels14a posted earlier) and then just heated them up removed the plastic covers and switched them with the OEM ones, sealed them back up. Done! :) I'm happy with how they turned out

shinobi, seeing your panel gaps makes me happy...that i'm not the only one with gaps in the back. arse cracks?

more on topic though, i have no intention of getting LED tails, i love the hot plate look. yesterday i just swapped out all the bulbs with new LED bulbs, and at night, damn, those red rings of sexy!

Bahah yeah I really needed to realign the rear bumper but haven't had much free time lately

Has anyone actually seen a genuine nismo or east bear LED tail light inside?

I had some in my car when i bought it but not sure if they're genuine or copy?

They're no cardboard DIY sh!t though , very good build quality so was wondering..

    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
