    What is this, i'm guessing cluster lighting.

    Is it any good? Where can I buy?

    Looks like a multidirectional 501 LED bulb. Typically used in the sidelights, side repeaters and instrument cluster. The brown socket on the bottom looks remarkably like one of the three used in the back of the intrument cluster to use as backlighting. I have white ones illuminating my needles and odometer (as the numerals themselves are indiglo'd) but its a 10 min job to pop them out and change the colours over

    Pick them up off egay or a decent motorfactor. Or Ultraled's website or something similar Google "501 LED bulb"

    Tegger has it on the button.

    LED tower 501 fitting from "ultraleds" installed in the standard dash bulb holder.
    They make a huge difference as my bulbs had broke lol.

    Will get pics when I'm out tonight.

    Changing them is a 10 min job as he said.....getting the clocks out, not so easy lol.

    @ Rubix: Aye it'll be there, cant wait.

    @Weiner: you should have seen the other side!

    Bollocks!!!!! Stupid old nuts n bolts. Goddamn you!!!!

    Well I spent tonight stripping down the z32 brakes to get them off the s14 hubs ready to go onto my 13 ones. Borrowed a 27mm socket from work and got one of the big anchor nuts off easy....the other stripped and left its thread on the bolt.
    Then I ended up having to take apart the whole internal assembly to be able to bash out the anchor bolt. I hope I can remember how to put it back together.

    I got the first bolt out ok (big hammer ftw) but killed the nut in doing so.
    The other one would not play ball though an proceeded to wilt under my repeated It did come out thank god....but is now mangled beyond use

    So now I have to hope I can still get them form nissan...or I'm kinda screwed. Maybe I wont be fitting it all this weekend afterall.

    I guess you could call this a pre-update. Finally got round to fitting on the parts I had stockpiled...and it turned into a right PITA! Bust brand new bearings, wheels not fitting over calipers, getting wrong longer studs, stripping thread in rear caliper...etc.
    I have loads of pics to sort and full update to come once I get the damn thing back...but in the mean time. See pic below for a teaser of what to come.


    So last night I enjoyed some retail therapy....and paid a deposit on these:
