Hey guys! :action-smiley-069: Ima pretty new here but anyways, was looking at getting white LED number plate lights for my r34 GTT (coz the OEM ones are getting dull and too yellowish), done some rough research and saw T10 501 capless or W5W are good choice? (have no idea what they are/what they mean but anyways...)

so i found out some links and I am not too sure how reliable these lights are :unsure:

Hey mate, I haven't changed mine to LED yet but have tested quite a few LEDs (courtesy to my local eBay guy) and have found the T10 wedges to be the best. The first link is actually the guy I buy my LEDs from. Can vouch for his service, great guy and especially aftermsales, he takes care of you. There's a few guys in on it but ask for Tom if you need any help.

If you're gonna be that picky, then ideally the top right one in the photo would be the best IMO:

It gives a more flooded lighting, but the T10 wedge as seen in the lower photo would do just as good. If you're bothered, you can buy LED strips and wire it up that way, but quick n easy, bulb change.

icic so pretty much higher SMD = mroe widespread and brighter?

ima probably get some and try em out soon!

Yep. The more the merrier :)

My parkers are bright as compared to plenty non-halogen bulbs.

now the only question is: What colour =)

A icey white would look sex on black ;)

Mine are icey white. It's not an actual colour, but it's what it appears to be :)

When I bought it, I had to change 3 LED bulbs to find the matching pair. One had a blue tinge, then another had purple, then blue again, then white lol

    • 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. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
