any info would be appreciated

 

thanks bigmo

oooh modify not a word im ofe with, i cant even use a screw driver lol!

Look at post 9 by Legrath......he has a link to a US site that charge $120 (£60) to modify yours.

 

Seems a good deal to me.

 

i bet with 2 way post to the states, that will be well over £100.

reminds me i need to actually fit mine.

Rear centre panel looks even better when you

ooohh! where did you get those from??

Came with the car mate. As did the rear centre.

Are them side window logos a a nissan thing [option] or aftermarket item.

well you learn something knew every day, here in australia the illuminated rear center panels where only custom made panels, and i never knew they were an optional extra. Which has now prompted me to want to get one. Now if it was an optional extra, does anyone know what kind of illuminator they used. Here in Aus where used a EL panel to light up the 300zx as it was the only thing that woulod fit inside the panel, is this the same for the original nissan ones??? Can you buy the original nissan ones as well???

yes they use EL strips... mine are original nissan ones...

 

i also have the rear quarter shades with illuminated 300zx... though im not sure if they were an optional extra?

Did these original rears come with only the greeny colour on the 89-99, or did they also come on the 2000spec rear red 300zx ones too???

Can you not make one yourself? :S

afaik all the nissan illuminated panels were green... i think any other colour was custom...

I've just emailed them..I'll post here what they reply.

Had a reply today :dance:

 

"Thanks for your interest in the 300zx rear glow panels. I have made these panels for people all over the world and I definitely can make them for you guys. Usually for overseas fabrication I charge $175 (£90) shipped back to the country (due to shipping charges). If you can get at least 3 people interested I can modify your panels for $165 (£85) each.

Please let me know if you are still interested. I look forward to working on your panels"

 

We would each need to send a panel to the States which he would modify and send back to us. An alternative would be to buy a new panel in the States (£50) and get them to post to him......this would save lots of hassle and cost.

 

Now it's up to you guys........is there any interest in a group buy? If so put you names here, if not I will probably go ahead on my own.

 

INTERESTED

 

Z32dave............Pale-blue light (+ buy panel from States)

 

 

 

Add your name and panel source above.

 

Cheers - Dave

i think i want one

 

but

 

i'm in the not sure if they are cool or tacky

 

perhaps we need a poll to decide

 

then again if they become too common then i might stick with the soon to be rare non light up

Do I take it that nobody wants a Group-Buy on this item?

I'll see what the response is over the next week or so. TBO there's not a lot of saving to be made with a group buy, just the hastle and admin, but it gives me something to do :rofl:

I made my own years ago. It was a very hard job at the time but hind sight is 20/20 :o

 

The first unit I wrecked as I wasn't heating the sealer (same stuff as they use on windows) and it shattered and I managed to cut myself quite badly :headvswal

 

The second time I heated it and it came apart quite nicely. In the back is some raised lettering which I scraped the black paint off making them opaque. Next I fitted some opaque perspex to diffuse the light then added some LED's to that. I used red/green LED's so that I could make it green / orange or red.

 

Works a treat

would you not like to modify them all lol

It is a very time consumng messy job. One is enough for me :)
