^^ probably not, If you can get ahold of some 370z plastic kickplates (cheap ones) and see if they fit, your car then you can confirm that, but I doubt

Hi Cjanik, I'm thinking on tackling this DIY that you were so gracious to write up. Would size 2.0 x 1.25 x 0.8mm work? Specifically: Super Blue 0805 Surface Mount LEDs UT-672NB. I know you stated it should be around 1mm but I wanted to double check in respect of LxWxH.
Thank you in advance! Last edited by Master_Ly; 03-05-2010 at 08:30 AM. |

Cjanik, I just found out a dealer here has the Z I want, but it wont have door sills. It's been a while since we talked about this, but you Can swap in illuminated ones where the non-illuminated ones are correct? And if so, it's not THAT labor intensive right? Cause if so, it comes in next month and then we can look at my drivin up there for an install maybe?
How much would a set of Illuminated sills set me back, and then how much would you need for the LED's + the install itself. Both $$$ and time wise?

Easy to swap, there's a harness that goes in-line with a plug into the BCM in the passenger kick. Run a small wire harness from there to each door sill. Done.

Awesome, is there a site somewhere that sells the door sills so I can get those ordered? Cause I'm guessing buying them from the dealer would be too much extra $$$?

~140$ from the dealer. I think CJ was doing them for 200$ or so if he bought them. Don't know how his stock is anymore.
http://www.courtesyparts.com/nissan-...714_9085_9091& I paid 140 + tax from the dealer while the financing guy was finalizing my paperwork.

Hmm... Cjanik, is that price still good? 200 for parts + labor? There is time if you would need to order them.

Yeah, ive been buying them off ebay, cheapest source I could find because of the free shipping.
west covina nissan in CA, 143 shipped. 370Z GENUINE NISSAN FAIRLADY Z34 ILLUMINATED KICK PLATE : eBay Motors (item 160408556716 end time Mar-28-10 15:19:53 PDT) Also, yes your plastic kickplates pop off, and these illuminated ones pop in their place. no tools are necessary if you use your fingernails to pop it off. the kit you buy for 143 includes the wiring harness and its all plug and play. tells you exactly where to plug it in and run the wires. I'd rate it a 2 out of 10 in terms of how hard to install. send me a PM and we'll talk. |

New color!
I just installed it yesterday. Cjanik made a half white half blue and this color is so crazy from one angle its white opposite angle it turns blue and if you look at it from the top it looks like and as Cjanik quoted "frost blue".
I love it!

I know... I think I got one of his last ones. I did pitch the idea to him about mixing LED colors like he did on mine. So he might be back?
