Any take on why we cant get leds installed in our original rear light housing Ive seen plenty of different kinds on the net but they are all japanese or chinese they seem to get it right but they cost a fair bit like $800aud because your importing it and also buying the hole complete oem housing and lights. Dan666 apparently said his working on it like 1 year ago and said they had abit of problems with the leds not shining through the r32 lens. But again how do people in asia get it done. Looks Totally original when the lights are not on but once on they look mad! I know Dan can do the r34 lights, I kept messaging him every 3 months untill i gave up.

Im shocked no one in australia can fit them in using your original housing after all we have had these cars in australia for around 20 years. I wish i was electrical minded i would of figured it out by now by communicating with someone overseas and figuring out the procedure

Still the same problem, the R32 lens is refracting the LEDs too much and it just doesn't look right. I'd have to get a new board redesigned to suit the R32's which is not likely at the moment due to current commitments. I'm not even doing the R34's anymore due to a supply issue with the components.

Thats fair enough, its just strange your the only one in australia tackling this problem.

i just bought the whole assembly from yahoo auctions, removed my factory assembly and then put the factory covers onto the new led lights. not sure im keen on the "clear" led's anymore and thinking of going to red led's :/

Yes the clear look shit i have the red ones.. Can you tell me if they fit on your car exactly like the oem, No gaps and stuff from the oem covers? Tell me honestly do they fit perfect?

Maybe i just bought defected Leds? if so id have to go buy new ones.

there were pretty damn close to being perfect. i spent the weekend making sure they fitted spot on - a little bit of nouce makes it easy to get the little gap and bolts the holds them correctly to line up. then i just sealed them into the rear panel with a sealant....

but now i think i wanna pull em all apart for the red ones....lol

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z

    • Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
