I can sell them for $99 inc postage

Them's fighting words, I'll take a pair of 4300K kits at that price thanks!

Else I think you should pull your head in. Even I know fitting these HID kits is not legal, because of the reasons bankids has mentioned. Would it stop me if I was otherwise convinced the result would be an improvement? No, of course not. The only proviso is that oncoming drivers aren't being blinded by the mod.

That is the main thing holding me back from buying an HID kit. I'd love to see some pictures of the beam cutoff pattern on R33 S2 headlights, if anyone has some spare time.

Dosent H1, H3, H4, refer to set standards? Surely its not just descriptive of the base configuration.

For example, H4 being the Hi/Low type, shouldnt there be a set distance from the base putting it at the correct focal position? Otherwise different brands would give non-consistant beam patterns.

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.

    • Gday, Due to not finding much up to date info on this topic I thought I'd make a thread to get peoples latest opinions/recommendations. Background info -  I've got a S1.5 R33 GTST as a fun project car, mainly for street use and occasional drag strip, apart from all the cosmetic things I'll be doing a full rebuild of the engine with forged internals. Since it'll be getting new cams (kelford) and springs to match I thought I might as well get new lifters and valves while I'm at it, the dash says 160k KMs but the engine seems pretty tired, compression measures about 130psi across all cylinders so I'd like to freshen everything up. This is where I'm tempted to just fork out the extra and go solid lifters while it's all apart, aiming for 400-450kw atw with a flex tune. Assuming all supporting mods (oiling, fuel and all bolt ons) with a lightly ported head and turbo to match (yet to make a decision possibly gtx3582r or similar from Hypergear) I've seen the Tomei kits with just the buckets getting around, Supertech sells most things - Supertech High Performance Cam Followers | Trusted Racing Cam Followers Questions -  Has anyone found the Hydraulic lifters to limit them at this power level? Is it usually found that you can just clean the stock lifters and find they work fine?  Does going solid lifters save any headaches/issues with hydraulic lifters in the future? Any recommendations on other things that will need to be replaced, I know I'll need to get the solid profile cams but can you use the same type of valves and springs/retainers and is it recommended to change the guides and stem seals?    Summary -  Basically looking for pros/cons and wanna know if I'll actually need the extra RPMs from solid lifters or it'll just be bragging rights to say it ReVs OvEr 8000 Cheers
    • Ha ha ha, this stuff they had was installing Toshiba PLCs that were made some time in the 1990s, and they were replacing GEM80 PLCs. To let those two talk (staged upgrade along a ~1.2km long building that was split into 4 sections), was a bunch of WinXP machines running Java gateways... There was no way to put something like ProfiSafe in... Most of the HMI machines were WinXP, with Java program, with a custom button board emulating a keyboard... About the only buttons in the operator stations that went direct to the PLCs was the eStop. There was some interesting design stuff in that place...
    • Stock bypass valves are good for plenty of boost.
    • Check for fuel flow out of the outlet end of the rail. Check for spark. Try to start with aerostart (or pressure can brake cleaner or similar solvent in a car) prayed in through TB. If you have fuel and you have spark and it will fire on substitute fuel, then seriously suspect that E85 sitting for ages in your fuel system has destroyed something and put it in your injectors.
