Hi guys,

heller44: I bought the HID Kit in a group buy started by nismos15. Because I haven't gone on the road with the new lights (my car has a leaking brake system), I'm not too sure how well it performs on the road. The kit is alot brighter than standard lights and the cut off line is more clearer with the HID globes.

SoFly: The H3 globes were a straight bolt on to the H3C socket. It took me less than 10 minutes to test the kit and that was in the dark with a torch :( . All I had to do after that was mount the ballasts.

They're not the best pictures but you get the idea.

Cheers

Adam

hanyou: Nah I don't mate.

When you look in the engine bay, you don't notice anything different from stock. I tucked all the ballast and cable away so you don't really see them.

I still need to adjust the light angle and see how they go on the road. Just have to wait till I get my parts.

Cheers

Adam

You can use H3 or H3C, the only difference is the ground wire. I've got a pick somewhere where I added a ground wire - it's pretty easy. In my experience the hotspots and glaring is terrible with xenon kits. I'd only use them on projectors. a31, r32 and s13 projectors seem to work fine with no leaks, minimal no glare, excellent cutoff and minimal hotspots...

My car originally took H3C's but I got an H3 HID kit and there was no modifying needed. I think you only have to add a ground wire if you were to keep the halogen globes.

Has anyone installed a HID kit on an R33 GTST?

Is it as easy as an R32 install? R33s use H1 bulbs

Adam, is the cutoff line able to be adjusted to be higher or lower?

I don't want to be blinding people if I install it on mine

Hey mate, you can adjust where your lights are pointing the same way as you would with the halogen globes. I pointed my lights down more than normal because as you can see, there is more glare and I don't want to be blinding people more then I already am.

Cheers

i had a r32 gtst and it use H1, not using H3, and i can't manage the fit the HID bulb in, because the stock H1 are plug into a cap, and you twist that cap into the headligh housing, so it don't comes with any metal spring that to holding the bulb like the GTR, and the H1 hid bulb is impossible to plug into the stock holding cap without modification... so anyone done this before?

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      don't know anyone in this thread, but i just found it, read the entire thing in a few hours, realized greg is still posting progress, and just have to say, this is awesome. it looks awesome. 100% right about the Uras kit making it a pain to get on hoists...have the same kit on my 34 and it takes six 2x4s and race ramps to do it without taking parts off. this reminds me exactly of this thread. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/build-projects-and-project-cars/r63-amg-the-unicorn-of-my-destruction/110824/page8/

      Fixing exhaust position?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The only way to make that better is to weld on some bozozoku tips up past window height and roll with the cool kids.

      Fixing exhaust position?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'd want an even MORE side on view. More or less you want to make sure the outlet is actually square with the outermost part of the bumper. Or you end up getting soot all over your bumper from your hektik exhaust. In any case, it looks pretty close. I think the way to fix this is probably more of an overhaul at an exhaust specialty shop if you want tips that are rounded off or sit nicely with the bumper but have proper clearance and don't move - Probably more of a redesign than a quick fix. I've pencilled in my own exhaust with its own various problems, pinholes, PITA fitment, and other issues and can see myself going to a shop and saying "JUST DO THIS BUT BETTER?"  Which is gonna work better than any more small fixes. I'm gonna chime in here officially with "from an outsider perspective this exhaust looks fine so this is self OCD probably" (which I also suffer from)
