Hey guys just thought id add some imput on the kelvin rating with HIDs.I have had both 6500k and 8000k and the 8000k is really blue.I wouldnt recommend these as i have been defected for them.6000k or 6500k is perfect.Nice white light with a very slight blue tinge.10,000k and over would be rediculous for street use.The higher the kelvin the blue and less bright the light is.Though 8000k will still be 2-3 times more bright than halogens.

As with installation you have to drill a bigger hole in the bulb cover at the rear of the headlight assembly for the gromet to fit in nicely.Meaning if you want to revert back to stock you will have a big whole in the cover unless you keep the gromet and feed the stock wires through.

If anyone is interested i have a set of HIDs in my garage with 8000k bulbs.It is Jap made and of high quality.

IMO HIDs are too bright for the reflector lenses of the R33s.R32s perfect.

Here are some pics of cars with varied kelvin HID kits (note that most cars have projector lenses look how much glare there is with reflector lenses).

How much for a HID kit to fit a 180sx (think h4)? Was after two prices, the 4100 or 4300 as well as the 6000 please?

Also, do you use genuine Phillips globes?? If not, what globes do you package with the kits?

Is it $260 or more than that? Question has been asked a few times but not yet answered I don't think...

Lastly, are you located in melbourne? Any chances of doing an installation at a good price? PM me your response if you like.

Anyone got links to what the HID's look like in a 180sx?

Very interested, much appreciated, and will pass the info onto NS.com when I get the answers. We ALL want HID! :blush:

    • Don't take it as a guarantee. It's all a game of statistics. And on top of that, smooth over a thick layer of "quality of spanner spinning" as a further Gaussian curve of probability of failure. You play games at anything above ~400 HP, and you're using up margins in terms of engineering and luck.
    • Aye, everything is being touched and all the parts that are responsible for the oiling issues are also fixed. (Crank collar, billet prp oil pump, head return to sump, yada yada yada)  Everything used is of reputable brands like greddy, prp etc. My tuner did mention we’d keep the torque on the “lower” side.   glad to read that my engine won’t blow up on me lmao 
    • It's a fuel pump. EFI, high pressure, but specs otherwise unknown. A bodge job.
    • 800 engine horsies is fine. Will need all the obvious upgrades. Rods, pistons, oil pump, big sump, sump breathing mods. Build for revs because revs are power with less stress on the bottom end compared to boost. Keep the torque down in the midrange, either by limiting boost or timing.  
    • Hiya guys,    i’m currently in the process of getting my rb26 built. everything is being replaced with better/upgraded parts or oem when that’s good enough (which isn’t alot lol). someone earlier mentioned to me that i’ll be screwed cause the iron block can’t take 800hp (to the engine, not wheels) which is what it’s being built for.  what do you guys think about this, am I cooked or na? The guy building the engine will also do the mapping as he is “the guru of old nissan engines” here in Belgium. I know the mapping makes a huge deal so i’m not concerned about that.    I honestly he’s talking shit cause he’s that kinda guy but a second opinion never hurt anyone! cheers in advance! 🫶🏻
