Hi,

We did get the lense and we are looking further into this project to make sure it is viable.

We have also been in contact with a forum member who is willing to donate a pair of fog lights so that we can continue on.

Should have some more progress shortly.

Shane

That would be me guys, I've just bought a replacement front bar that has the the lights in it as well so as soon as I pick it up I have told psi I will be happy to donate them for the greater good ;)

Dale lives not too far away from me so I can drop them over to him no probs. I've just been working away a lot at the moment but I will be home for a while in two weeks so I can pick up said bar.

The ball is a rolling!!!!!

oh Dale you should of mentioned you needed them I have spare fog light housings I could sent you with the lense... doh...

Sorry mate, I didn't realise you had the whole lot. We just want to check how the mounts are set out so that we can come up with a solution that means as little work for you as possible. As I read that some of you are heating up the glue to get the lenses off and it may warp the surround. Any solution we come up with will need to be mass produced and include instructions for anyone to follow. I don't want hiccups or people saying this isn't a DIY job further down the track, so bare with us.

I did some searching a while back when I read Phil's original thread about attempting this and came across these pics on JDM Styling (I think), forgot i had them on my phone.

Just goes to show it can and has been done on a S2. After the glass cutting is done does anyone know what kind of bulbs can be used? as in if a big orange bulb is put behind the clear will it just look orange again or will it be far enough back to not stand out?

Sorry to disappoint you guys

but the second pic was photoshopped :D

and i still currently have the orange

OK if someone can pause time fo me I can actually continue the project... my time gets eaten by work.

105-110mm diamond hole saw, a wood jig to hold the lense, a drill and a heap of water, I already have the spare glass lenses waiting

    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
    • Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.
