I even wired the blinkers to the city lights to make sure the bulbs worked, and sure enough, they're just fine, they just won't BLINK! I'll try to get some pix of the actual wiring tonight.

might be dumb, but I ran into the same EXACT problem. Try this:
put key in igntion, turn to on position, the try the signals. not trying to flame, but i was scratching my head trying to figure out why not...then i turned the key and sure enough they worked. :hammer: :hammer:

OMG. I can't believe you said that... I could've sworn that I did all testing with the accessories on, but now i'm starting to 2nd guess myself, cuz my stereo didn't light up when i was testing, which means the key was in but not turned. HAHHAHAA! I sincerely hope that's the issue and I'm just stupid, otherwise, you should see the crazy stuff that some of the engineers I work with were coming up with...

Anyone know if the signals on s13s work w/o the key turned... I'm thinking no.
I'll post back after lunch... probably feeling pretty dumb hahaha!

Yoshi · 03-08-2005, 02:22 PM

okay so Joe is an arse... wait no... that's right it's ME that's the arse!

During the wiring, I tested each light as I went, which meant battery on/off, accessory switch on/off for each of the 8 lights. I did the blinkers last, at about 1am. Not that I'm making excuses, i'm still an idiot for not noticing hahaha!

So yay! fully functional lights! Wiring diagram and pix in the next update.

Drunk Bastard · 03-08-2005, 03:19 PM

haha, i knew it

Yoshi · 03-09-2005, 02:33 PM

Woo Hoo! Almost ready for paint! Sheesh, check out my sunken-in wheels w/o my spacers

damn yoshi, our cars look pretty damn similar.

drift freaq · 03-10-2005, 10:39 AM

very cool Yoshi and same to you drunken congrats to both of you on your conversions . mine coming up soon!! hehhehe oops I was not supposed to say that

oberkill · 03-10-2005, 06:15 PM

Looks good! I just started mine today with pretty much the same parts. I am having trouble getting the lights in far enough on the inside mount. Seems like they are pushed out like 1/2 and inch at least. Did you do anything to the existing bracket or in mounting the Silvia headlight brackets? I ran out of light tonight so I will look at it again with some sunlight tomarrow.... lol

Alan, if you look on the silvia mount, there are the 2 stock bolts (I need to doc this still), you won't use those, forward of those is a dimple where a third hole can be drilled, it's already sized and marked, drill it out and use the hole closest the the outside of the car on each side (on the radiator suppot), that should square u up.

oberkill · 03-10-2005, 06:59 PM

Cool! Thanks! Thats my issue then. I will take some pics and post them tomarrow. You webpage has made my install go allot faster! Thanks again.

Alan

Yoshi · 03-11-2005, 07:02 PM

SilviaDriver · 03-11-2005, 07:05 PM

i need new fenders? i want them wider to go along with the rear

glad u got the wiring done.

looks good.

oberkill · 03-12-2005, 07:28 PM

Well its mostly done. I need to work on the drivers side headlight some and the fender on the passenger side right by the light is too low. I will finish that up then pull it apart for paint next week. I just wanted to get it drivable to I could bring it to a meet tomarrow. lol I have about 5 hours in the conversion as it sits now. I saved allot of time due to Yoshi's webpage!

Alan

Yoshi · 03-13-2005, 02:48 AM

Lookin good Alan!
That's a great idea about the pix

U mind if I steal your pic URLs?
oh, and what bumper is that? Vertex comes to mind, but i'm pretty enibriated... hahah, I can't even spell it...

oberkill · 03-13-2005, 07:07 AM
