Gear Box Oil Leaking!
gexenon replied to gexenon's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
Oh, that sounds like a pain to fix. How do i confirm that it is this? can i see the boot from the bottom of the car? -
I've got a R32 GTR (93 model) and the gear box is leaking fluid. I looked under the car and cannot see where it is leaking from exactly. It just looks like its sweating very heavily and there is a coating of fluid all over under the gear box and the line which goes to the rear of the car. Its not dripping out but definately leaking somewhere. Is there a particular place where they usually leak from? Thanks

Recommend Me A Cheap Run-a-round Car.
gexenon replied to Musky's topic in General Automotive Discussion
I just got a Honda Jazz from my company as a everydat car. It's brand new so wasn't that cheap, but its got 3 year warranty, auto, a/c, power steering and windows and is comfy to drive. $40 gets around 500km. Heaps cheaper than my gtr to run around in. -
wow.

Hi, there are two series in the GE brand. There is a competition series, and also a performance series. The group buy is for performance series. If you would like to have competition series, they are $789 + shipping. Its up to you. But they are both genuine GE. I've also updated the first post including all the product brochures with all the specs.

there is a GE group buy going on at the moment.

Ok, i've taken some photos to prove that focal lengths of GEXENON HIDs match the halogen equivalents. This is what makes them special. H1 & H3 GEXENON HID bulbs, notice that they are not generic H3 HID and H3 Halogen H1 HID & H1 Halogen Also, have a look at the Phillips ballast, they look the same to alot of other ballasts but have higher quality control, better design and quality componets.

No mate, don't need to upgrade the fuse. the standard is fine. Thats what the kits are designed to do, they are plug and play.
-
No probs, they are $60 each. plus postage of $10. They will be send via express post so you will recieve within a week from order date. You will not recieve warranty as you are using unknown ballast systems. Just be aware of this.

Hi, i'm also trying to give facts about HIDs. Lets not argue anymore. The reviews and photos of the install will tell a better story. As i have explain before, ge hids are made to halogen size equivalents to they have the correct focal points. i don't think i need to explain this again as i have pointed it out many times. Its stupid to assume just because the light output is the same, that the kits are the same. As you have pointed it out many times before, the focal length and beam pattern is important. So its not just about light output. As for ballasts, i'll post up photos of all brand name HIDs such as phillips and hella. They all look very similar. The componets and quality control is better from GE which makes it a quality product. You have said yourself that cheap kits can cause engine fires due to lack of testing and faulty design. Just because they look the same, doesn't mean they are the same. I think we have discussed in detail the pro and cons of HIDs. All readers of this thread are fully aware of all facts. We can just leave the discussion at that and wait for the reviews

There were two types, earlier models came with H3Cs (H3 kit suits with no mods needed), i think 93 on wards, they came with H1s. My is a 93 and came with H1s. This is for low beam.V To be sure, pull the bulb out and check, there is no refund because you have ordered the wrong size.

If you are trying to protect your retro fitting business, then thats fine. I don't argue that retro fitting HIDs give a much better result. However, everyone is on a budget and can't afford the $1000+ for retrofitting. I'm here to give facts, and everything in this thread has been a fact. I've tried to show the cut offs and inform buyers of all concerns before they buy. Oh by the way, if your HID kits are causing fires, then they are off bad quality/design. GEXENON has sold around 6000 kits world wide and have never caused a fire. Don't even try to compare the cheap asian made HIDs to quality products you have never tried.

Hi mate, i never claim that it will be the same result as OEM HID housings, if you read the above posts carefully, i have always brought to attention some of the concerns members have. You are mistaken by saying that focal point in HID replacements are not the same as Halogen equivalents. As i have explain before, generic HID kits have a generic focal point which doesn't match the halogen equivalent. These kits are manufactured to be true replacements, therefor matching the focal point of the equivalent halogen bulb. I've explained this 3 times already. Please don't post again on how the focal points on gexenon kits are different please. You are however right about the shape of the light source. HIDs are an arc, where as halogens are filaments. This will result in some differences in light patterns and depends from housing to housing. We just sold a kit to rich with a c280 merc. He has agreed to post photos of the cut off and beam pattern. I have to ask if you have tried a GE, Phillips or Hella HID kit before? If you are commenting on lesser quality kits, the problems you have memtioned do apply. Please hold back these comments until a proper review has been submitted.

Unfortunaly i don't have photos of any S2 R33s, i drive a 32 GTR and will have photos soon to post up. The demo vehicle is a VZ Monaro. Some cars from factory such as 430 Lexus came with reflector HIDs. You will find the cut off not as sharp as projector types. Its the very nature of the housing unfortunately. I don't suspect that the beam in a reflector housing will be as sharp as the one in the photo due to the housing being of reflector type. Unfortunately there is no way arround it. I stand behind this product 100% and believe its the only decent HID conversion system on the market (apart from Hella & Phillips kits). These are the best kits money can buy, but still can't beat a HID OEM housing.

Hi mate, HIDs are not road legal in Australia. Like many mods. If you don't want this risk, don't buy it. as regards to giving money back, i can't do this as the product will be used. If you are so concerned, i suggest you wait for other members reviews on this product.

As it states in the GB, it ends 15 of feb. If you place the order, you will still recieve the package within 1 week, don't need to wait for GB to end.

Updated with product photos.

You are right, H1, H3 and H4 (infact all of them) are different. They should have different bulb base and also different focal points. If you have a generic focal size (generic bulb0 and just vary the bulb base, the focal point will not be the same as the halogen equivalent and will result in poor light output because the housing is designed to accept a certain focal point.

Um no, any kit without DOT37 approval is illegal.
