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.

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

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics

      @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?

      Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
