Ok i am really interested but dont know jack. Appreciate if you could answer these questions to help us ignorant fools.

I have a pretty much stock R33 series 2. Which of these HID kits are suitable? I dont mind a slight blue tinge if its nice just so long as they are bright and white. So whats suitable for my car?

Why so cheap compared to kits i've seen advertised here for $800+ ??

Do they require any other parts or work to install that cost a significant amount? If so what is required?

Do they illuminate better than the stock lights? Not talking about colouration... road illumination. ?

As i said, very very interested, but need answers..

Hi.

1, if u want white colour . just go 5000K or 6000K, or if a bit blue then go 8000k they will fit ur car for sure

2, Directly from factory, no need to pay for the marketing, advertising, stuff, and office renting fees for the companies.

3. nop. but projector lens is prefered but not must

4. they way much better. i already used to hid lights and now if i drive anyother car with out hid i feel the lights so weak.

Ok put me down mate...H1 kit for my R33 S2. The only thing to work out now is do I go for 6000K or 8000K, I like the bluey tint and from what I can tell 6000K does have a blue tinge to it, 8000K is way more though is that right? What would you recommend?

Dont want cops on my ass regarding xenons.

EDIT: Put me down for 6000K x 1 kit. H1.

Thanks alot for your reply bankids.

So i need H1 for my R33 series 2? Series 2 has dual headlights so what impact does that have on this? I need 2 sets? ie i dont want my lights on and half the headlight enclosure looks white and the other half yellow.. ? Sorry, like i said, im a real noob.

I read the original WA thread cover to cover, didnt notice an install guide....

Very keen just wanna get my head around things.

You dont use both of your headlights to light up the road with low beam... the outer ones light up with low beam, the inner ones are high beam... when you high beam the outer low beams switch off.

The H1 is for the outer low beams. Also you wont be needing high beams anymore as HID will take care of it.

here is that thread from WA:

Hi eric.

coz this time 20 dollars express fee is added in the price and for the h4 hi/low . sry gave the wrong price for a long time .the h4s are 100 dollars higher than normall ones

the hi/low works with one bulb

the bulb is driven by a small motor in the bottom of the bulb base. the motor drives the bulb moving up n down to switch hi and low beams.

Whatdo you mean i wont be needing high beams anymore? If these HID globes that will replace my outer low beam bulbs are that powerfull and illuminate that far/bright, wont they piss off everyone i drive past at night?

Apparently not if you adjust them properly... these HIDs should be bright enough not to use high beam and frankly high beam on my R33 kinda blows...

    • Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.
    • I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want. 
    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue. 
    • Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder
    • Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
