Hey guys, anyone in sydney want to or know someone who will install the Xenon light on mine for a fee? i just dont have the time or knowledge to do it... thanks :D

+1 to that. Also want them and wouldn't mind a recommendation based on experience.

Was just about to reconnect my xenons together when it unfortunately looks as tho they've cut the wires to close to the loom, my problem is i'm not too electrically minded and the only way i see to re connect them is to splice them (wires being too short i can't) is there any way I can get some sort of spacer to crimp on the ends so it gives me a bit more room.

Much appreciated if anyone can help cos I really want to get these going.

I am a bit of a noob in lights... I want to get HIDs from the group buy at http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Hi...y2-t242766.html

Now, question I've been asked, is what type of a bulb I have. Is it correct to say it is H4?

Do I need to specify anything else so it can be fitted into the V35? Or it wouldn't work? (I do want to keep my fog lights etc as it is)

Any help in helping a lights noob would be appreciated :D

I don't think so. I am pretty sure the guy who complied it took it out, because he resells them to other cars. So I'll need an HID ballast too I gather?

I am thinking low beam (the normal driving lights). I don't really use high beam much. I just want my car to have a more prestigious look when the lights are on.

If your headlight is 2003 model, Low beam will be D2S, High beam/fog will be H4.

Ah, cool. So I have to get a D2R bulb with an HID ballast? Someone mentioned to me that it is H1 bulb... That's not right, right? Everyone refers on these forums to D2R. How come are fogs and high beams the same? They are different lights, thought would be different bulbs also... And also, I've read that people started to have their fogs turn on at the same time as parkers etc - that's due to bad wiring right? Not because of the HID kit?

For 2003, the HIDis D2R, FOG and High beam is same buld which is H4--you know that H4 is a double light, right?

For 2006, The HID is D2S, Fog is H1, High beam stay with HID as be-xion.

Fog/ Driver light has it own wire. So if it on together with parkers, will be a wrong wire.

I need help, I got myself the original HID Ignitor (which is the cable from the ballast to the D2R bulb, Mine was cut off), when I was converting it back from H1 to HID. I accidentally plug in reverse polarity to the Original Ballast on my right side of my HID, I believe something blew, but using my left side, I did a check on the ballast & Bulb, it worked (Lucky me). Anyone knows where is the fuse for the HID or any other remedies?

wish you had brought them in when I was down there last. I had the front off the car to do the cruise control. drop the front off when you do it and watch the drivers light as the cruise unit is below it.

    • It's weird to me that you say this because I'm pretty sure locals with relatively standard standalone tunes (boost/barometric compensated alpha-N) still have driveability issues when they pop intercooler hoses. Maybe with enough data I can just train some kind of model that spits out an expected grams/cyl given every sensor input except MAF like what FCA did with their Pentastar 3.6 ECU logic. Basically stock everything. The main motivation honestly is to have a sensor that can be a decent baseline source of truth. In scenarios you're describing obviously it won't work every time but it seems to me the number of corner cases that exist in MAF load is maybe not as severe and difficult to manage vs ITB alpha-N with some MAP/barometric compensation.
    • What are your plans for your blow off valves? Purely plumb back? How soft will the spring in them be? AFM can be tricky to get super smooth and nice, especially depending on the rest of the system, and then can be very easily upset if something slightly changes. IE, even if you run recirc blow off valves, you could still see issues getting it to behave at certain load points as turbos might start to spool, but you release the throttle but it's not enough pressure to crack the bov open to recirc, and you can end up with reversion which can cause double metering, and hence dumping of fuel into the system, and stalling the engine.   If you're going to run a map sensor for closed loop boost control from the ECU, what makes you want to keep the AFM?    
    • It's not bad, it's just not flexible. And say if you have any leaks between the MAF and plenum, well then your load axis goes out the window. Here's a real world scenario, I blew off an intercooler hose last track day, as the clamp decided to Bluetooth itself somewhere. Still continued to do 2 laps and drive it to the pub for a couple of beers then home. Good luck doing that with a MAF setup 
    • Is MAF load really that bad? I'm not trying to do big power, my only real desire is VCAM and flex fuel support so I'm not terrified of blowing my engine apart from CA's appalling 95 RON "premium" fuel. Stuff like playing with closed loop boost control and really dialing in my transient fueling and ignition are frankly just to prove to myself I remembered something from uni.
    • Thats what ive been doing. Ive got a million questions but i know theyve probably all been answered before at some stage. Todays research included nismo heritage seat covers, s3 projector headlight retrofits and how to remove/paint the rocker covers
