gotta say,

its a pretty funny idea i dont think i would wanna try it, BUT i do like the LED lights for the r33 copy tail lights in EVO-LEE's link that he put up, they are a lil different and pretty cool...

haro

Guys you if you want LED tail lights you can make them yourself it isn't hard or you can now buy them off the shelf here. The names of the shop escapes me at the moment. But the question is changing your tail light defectable, I pretty sure all those Lancers and Civics with Euro tail lights can be defected.

That's why I said this is probably the origin of rice - SE Asia is generally a poor country and an Evo or GT-R cost almost 3-4 times more then the Japan price IIRC.

their not defectable if DOT approved but the ones at autobarn arent DOT approved, ones from mitsubishi are. but cops wouldnt notice the difference. gotta take the tail light out to see the stamp saying DOT approved. but my lancer was lol, not DOT approved geez only paid $150 for the tails :D while my mate paid $450 from mitsubishi lol, no difference at all.

i admire the work done to those cars :) just not their choice of kit lol the time taken to make them up would of been astounding

The silver one is OK, if you weren't paying much attention you'd prolly just think its like any other Skyline (apart from the fact 4 door GTRs are as rare as hens teeth and the 4 door GTS-t's have diff tail lights) but that purple...'thing' is awful...KILL IT NOW!!!

Do they know what an Eterna is...it's the wedge shapped Magnas. They must have done a shitload of custom work to the car.

I was thinking a MMC UK delivered Carisma looked the closest but the boot is too high compared to the rear door line as well.

It may in fact be a 3 series BMW, they have high boots...so good spotting.

M powered GT-R :):D:D

thats farkd up. esp the airbrushed one. those car in top pics look like they have indonesian number plates.

that eclipse doesn't look that bad, not a fan of the car but the light conversion looks alright.

That ain't no 3 Series BMW... look at the centre crease line on the BMW, the crease goes right through the door handles. That "thing" with the R33 lights, bumper etc has a similar crease line, yet the door handles are positioned below the line.

Yeah, looks like malaysia or around that area. Can't be singapore since you're not supposed to modify anything on your car or else the government takes it, but OMG, a friend there paid over $90k for a little hatchback... I wouldn't pay anything over $15k here for the same car...

Skylines are expensive and fairly rare over there... My fiancee lived there and all the guys she worked with just couldn't accept the fact that I was rich enough to own a skyline (having no idea how cheap they are here)... So she showed them a pic :) rofl!

I've seen a lot of new cefiro's over there though. Wish I had my camera at the time.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
