Tail Light Conversion
Hey All...im trying out new things on the VN this week....when the idea of chopping/changing taillights from a VR/VS came to fruit....the things i need to know
Electrical.:::::is the wiring ect gonna be pretty much the same from the VN to VR/VS ??
:::::::::::::: * Will the Voltage ect be the same ...
Body .
Should we use fibreglass or bog...*or could you suggest a different material
How freakin hard is this gonna be lol...
I look forward to the Rants, Raves,Taunts....but hopefully theres some good replies out there ...
Ciao all !!!!!!!!

Ok, you like making things hard for yourself dont you?
Wiring can be adapted. USE METAL, not too much bog and no glass. Metal expands, bog and glass do not. Snap, crackle, pop.
Yes it will be hard but anything can be done if you put your mind to it.
Good luck with it, I would love to see the results if you do do it.
Hope I could be of assistance.

I know its gonna be tough..
so i decided to , rather than kill my only car ...buy a ****ed rear end from UPull It...and practice on thatthat way im not ****in my car up lol
Dude..in regards to tail lights...im really torn...cos i love the whole deep tint look , but i've seen those altezzas....and they look mighty fine too !!
ill keep ya posted Boys

i have seen people cut the rear out of a doner car and weld it into the new one. if the side profiles are nearly the same it should be a straitforward job
you should do a VR/VS front end conversion too :|

Hey! I've got a better idea. Why doesnt he just buy......... a VS COMMODORE!
my points been made.. thanks guys
why not buy a VR and put a VN front on... much easier?
d/w geta sarcasm is easily lost on here. What type of garnish are you going to have with the vr/s lights?
300rwhp supra. yay.
Because he wants to do something unique. Better than the average. He has an idea so show support and help.my points been made.. thanks guys

He wants a VR rear, fine... a lot of mucking about.. welding etc to do it.. why not just get a VR and put a VN front end on... at least then its more of a bolt-up job and you get teh same results
maybe he likes his vn.. wouldnt be that hard to do. All the parts would weld up. just be a bit of a pain i recon
For external use only
Interesting choice. I personally prefer a tinted VP Calais rear-end to the VN or VR. But the VR lights on a VN shaped boot... that would be... abstract. Good luck with it ^^ I love your spirit.

a idea i was thinking of at one stage was 427 monaro lights made to fit the vp. that would be different

Cheers
Cheers for all the replies..has made my decision easier...im gonna go for it
To all the guys talking about conversions...bear in mind..im only swapping lights...not the whole back end ... in regards to the garnish....ill smooth it out and colour match it at a later date when cars is re-painted ..
this is a custom job...and its gonna suck ass...make me scream and kick the shit out of anyone near by..but at the end of the day...my VN will be a one of a kind...maybe lol so keep everything crossed for me lol
'this is gonna suck mega ass crax:b:

Progress pics yet? hahaha j/k
i would probably cut a VR/VS tail light section from a donar and weld it in, shouldnt be too hard, yeah it would be a very unique VN, thought about doing it a while back, got a job and forgot all about it, but yeah if you can show us some progress pics, i think it would look awesome,
have fun with it
boosted!
because vn's go faster
won't it look weird?! lol JUST BUY A VR/VS Ok??? they're not expensive now, specially VR
Ah, nothing like a Datsun 120 WHY!
The best way would be to buy a VR rear end with a boot & cut in the tail light mouldings.Hey All...im trying out new things on the VN this week....when the idea of chopping/changing taillights from a VR/VS came to fruit....the things i need to know

umm if i think what your thinking off then thats not such a good idea, i dont know if you've noticed but the rear end is a part of the chassis, the boot lid would work altho being slightly diffrent (bigger or smaller i cant remembeR)
and im tirered as hell so im probbly rambling on garbage that no one will understnad
