This is my Audi Quattro and I decided to do spray smoked tail lights after a fail attempt with the sticker film and this is my outcome! I left it for a full 24 hours before I applied the clear coat. So these photos are before the clear coat was applied. Today shall be the last coat of the pretty shinny stuff :D I know the bumper needs spraying but shoosh, ill get there.. I also did the Audi rings on the front in black but I wonder how long it will take till a cop decides to have a go at me for it... Well Im happy with my achievement, I think I did well :D also if anyone on here has any knowledge on Audis please let me know because I'm having a few issues and wouldn't mind some help in removing the issues :thanks:

i DID see some new audis with darker than usual tail lights - not as dark as obviously tinted, but darker than your typical lights which made me think they came like that from factory. coincidence that you did this on an audi as well

Are most disliking it because you dont see the point in it or simply because its on an european car? This car will be turned into a race/rally car when I can afford to do so and the dark tail lights were part of the plan and considering I can afford spary paint and really like smoked tail lights on Audis ONLY and a few Mercedes..

most are not liking it because its not a smart thing to do. . . if i plowed into the back of your car because you slowed down/stopped and i didnt see your brake lights because of the tinting then my insurance company has just cause to refuse any claim for repairs on your car

I know for a fact my break lights, tail lights and blinkers are absolutely fine and bright enough. Its not even really that dark.. You can see my lights perfectly in daylight and night. If it were to be a concern where someone would run up the back of me because they arent visible enough, I wouldnt have done so. But they are as bright as they were before..

Haha wow that's cool :) I have never seen another cat like mine in Australia yet. I swear I may have seen one but not sure. But yes every ones point of view is different. Thought I was getting the negative responses because I'm a women and women apparently suck at car stuff - bit sexist but that I'd reality these days...

what's worse than tinted lights are those people with 20 year old cars whose tail lights dont work OR are SO DIM they might as well not be on - AND those people whose lights don't increase brightness when they step on the brakes, hence, no indication that they're slowing down.

Well mine is more then 20 years old but I love my car and would always fix something that's wrong but nothing is in a way of causing an accident.. All my lights work and to an extent of being visible enough day and night. The tinting is really not that dark at all. Can still see the red coming through.

No like I tested them in the dark and day time and they are exactly th same. Only difference is the corner of the blinkers are abit shady looking. I bought new light bubls for my brake lights a month or two ago and I think they were brighter then. Looks like everyone elses rear lights, older cars.

    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
    • A bit late but A disk S13P fit over stock R32 GTR brakes, usually A disk front, O disk rear works.
    • Or, the height of the release bearing is not correct for your combo. Start with the bleeding and checking the slave moves throughout its range when you press the pedal (2 person required), but it is possible for the height to be internally wrong too (box back off to measure.
    • Yes, there's quite a few things that can go wrong during a clutch install. Very unlikely. I have a similar clutch. They (ACS) make good gear. No, it is not normal. It is possible that you just need to bleed the clutch slave. But the new clutch will also have a more aggressive actuation force/pressure, and so your old slave cylinder might be a bit leaky or otherwise compromised, and not up to the extra force required. Or the master cylinder, same.
    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?
