Hey guy so I've got a 34 and I wanted to go for a bit more of a modern look I've got the clear Nismo indicators plus my standard amber ones. Any way 1 night I got bored and got my old amber indicators out I had some amber led strips that I brought from eBay so I'll be posting a step by step on how to do this as soon as I get the pictures from my old I phone ( that's if any one wants to do it ) but here is the end result .post-99784-13824614557685_thumb.jpgpost-99784-13824614690287_thumb.jpgpost-99784-13824615104787_thumb.jpg

Ok guys I'm going to post this in the DIY section but I'll post it here for you guys first

Items you will need :

carbon fiber wrap (eBay stuff is fine)

drill with small drill bit

Scissors / hobby knife

Double sided tape ($3.00 eBay)

Clear amber Led strip ($6.00 eBay)

X2 Led decoder ($7.00 eBay)

Step 1

remove your old indicators you can do this with a flat head screwdriver make sure you wrap it in a cloth so you don't damage the paint.

Step 2

Cover the indicator with carbon fiber wrap or you can just spray the black if you don't want to use cf wrap.

Step 3

Next drill a small hole in middle on any side (be carful as they do tend to crack)

Step 4

Once that is done get the led indicators and feed the wires through the hole. post-99784-13831269783807_thumb.jpg

Step 5

Once the wires are through apply the double sided tape to the led strips or strip depending on what you go for. Once there tape is on stick them down how you want.

Step 6

Now comes the part that you decide. You can either put the wires into the existing globe socket and put your existing globe in there this will stop the hyper flashing once that's done you can plug them in and away you go. If you want to go down the other path read step 7. post-99784-13831273015297_thumb.jpg

Step 7

If you want things 100% safe the steps are similar.

Take the lens off your indicators you can do this by melting the glue around the sides I put mine in the oven on 70 for 6-7 minuets (don't quote me use the forums I'm sure they have a better way)

Once that's done wrap the lens in carbon fiber and drill the hole in the lens

Put the wires through the hole and the connect the wires to the led decoder (solder them better connection) post-99784-13831278677772_thumb.jpgpost-99784-13831278832642_thumb.jpg

You will need to have the led decoder sitting the the indicators itself there is plenty of room for it. Make sure the t20 globe adaptor is hanging out the other side where you plug the light in. post-99784-13831281576142_thumb.jpg

Once that's done test it. You don't want to glue it then have to un glue it!. Once you have tested it glue the lens back on some cilicone or gasket sealer should do the job leave to dry over night the it's a simple plug and play.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
