All Stars Get Their Name In Lights


Recommended Posts

hey all..

just wondering if someone can help me..my friend has a 40th aniversary r33 and where it says "skyline" at the back of the car between the tail lights is apparently supposed to light up..when he had a look there are wires there and they are connected but nothin happens...i have a white r33 so i had a look at mine (its just painted white)..and there are no wires where he had them..we checked fuses and put it in reverse and everything..anyone know??

Hmmm my 40th Annv doesn't do that.. have to check it out..

amuses me when people get in and the green lights up around their feet.. first couple of times people said "you put neons in did you.." nearly fcuking slapped them out of my car..

would love to get a list of options that you could get with the 40th annv. does your friends have the antenna heigh switch - lets you put it up 1/2 way or full..

also - mine came with fog lights - but looks like they've been removed and cut off - still got the wires + switch on the blinker stick..

ask liz on the forums, iv seen hers, the bit that says skyline lights up green and it looks hot at night, but i have also seen them light up in different colours, its easy to put one together if you really wanted it.

I got mine working again yesterday after a few months of putting off having a look at it.

All i did was pull it off (4 bolts and one plug in the boot), it had some water in it, so let that drain out then cleaned up the contacts on the spade connectors, checked connections with multimeter, put it back on and to my surprise it works again!

its a factory option for any r33, its in the nissan fast system.

connect the wires to the brake lights if they arent connected

if u dont have any wires, go out and buy a series1 panel, paint around the skyline bit the colour of ur car, then put an LED strip behind it... bingo

i remember seeing an r33 gtst ages and ages ago, a few years at least, with the skyline logo on the back lit up a soft green color, surely its a aftermarket item.

ive seen one with the dark green lights, i thought it would of been an aftermarket thing, but obously not. havent seen any besides that 1

    • Got some decent progress after work yesterday and also today. Got the ECU all wired and passenger side interior all back together. Kept the wiring up nice and high to avoid people standing on it. Got the surge tank relays rewired and tidied up the pump wiring and cut a hole to bring the cables through.  I found a spare USB cable I had lying around so I decided to cut it up and see if I could use it for my CAN 1 bus. Turned out one of the pins I needed was to the shield of the cable so i cut it up and desoldered it and resoldered to the correct pins.  Had the issue with the powersteering hose hitting the A/C compressor and fan shroud. I pulled the bracket off and modified it to remove the front mounting point which now clears it all. Will keep an eye on it to see if theres any signs of fouling once it's up and running.
    • That's some good input mate. Nice.
    • So today I went well outside my comfort zone (again) to replace my valve cover gasket.  I have had a big leak over the exhaust leading to a lot of smoke and smell every time I drove it. The leak was in the rear driver's corner.  The job wasn't hard as such, just a bit finicky and time consuming.  The old gasket was rock hard and broken right where the leak was.  The leaky corner had so much sitting oil in it.  The good news to my amateur eyes was no buildup or sludge under the cover. It all looked fairly nice in there.   I haven't started it yet. I ran out of light and body when putting the coils and injector loom back in. Probs only 30min left for the morning.  I was so nervous putting the cover back on, I must have lifted it 5 times to make sure the gasket was still seated properly. God it's going to be nice to be leak free and not make other traffic light queuers think my car is about to explode.
    • Gave the Mazda it's first wash, it will need some clay, a light compound, and polish polish to remove a few swirl marks, but that will be a job for when I have a full day to get my DA polisher action on
    • Just did this job on my 32 with the boost doc kit. was quite simple to fit, hardest part was getting the rubber bungs back on the firewall. does anyone know how the heater will work now without the flap in the bend? Will I just have a heater on 24/7 now?
