I is the current that flows through the wires and is calculated in Amperes.

V is the voltage within the wires measured in Volts.

R is the resistance measured in Ohms.

Basically I x R = V

so a smaller current will invoke a bigger resistance and vice versa

that's pretty much all I know

in terms of brightness, have no bloody clue

They both have the same nominal current rating,.. so should theoretically have the same power output.

The I in max, is the surge current that might be needed for situations, like starting the light output. Make sure the fuse is rated to handle the max current, and that the cable is rated high enough to carry that current safely.

I think it's not really the transformer packs that make the difference, it's the actual bulbs, go for round 6500k, because any lower turns nearly yellow, any higher turns blue, i had 12k in mine, was purple, but didn't have a very good output(still better than stock halogen)

If you're planning on purchasing a HID kit, in my opinion, don't go 6000k. Go for 4300k if you can. I've got 6000k globes and I think it's too blue. 4300k is the colour of white light (colour of sun light). But then if you like a blue look to your lights, go for it.

If I were to get HID's again, I would definately go retrofitting.

thx guys~lol

i will go for phillips before i buy HID..

if phillips give me a shit... ill def buy hid..

everyone says the phillips diamond vision is much brighter than stock yellow light... but i cant see before i try...

anyway thx for your opinion guys!

cheers

Neither of those will produce good light output. Absolute waste of money.

PM s8 Gohan. Tried installing hid kit into oem r34 hid housings.

Due to the fact that those crappy kits have a h1 fitting, and the housing has a stupid adapter in it for h1, the focal point has been moved.

Expect less light output than standard, glare other drivers, and to be defected within about a week.

Go oem - well worth the money, or don't do it at all

i couldnt find him in members..

does r34 has oem hid housing? you mean the projector? howmuch would that be? with installation??

R34's have HID's in reflector housings. All you would need to reinstall the HID globes are the original ballast and globes. They should fit right into place. I have no experience with R34 lights so I'm not too sure.

I think someone said that the original HID's are hard to come by and when you do see them for sale, they're at about the $700 mark, so....

    • So, more pain. The FAST manifold is a little larger than the stocker. This is problematic because there really wasn't much clearance to begin with, so going from 'barely enough' well into 'no' is sad based on the external dimensions of the thing, even though where it bolts to the head is the same. Result is the fuel rails sit a good 25mm higher, and this is a bit of an issue with the wiring that runs behind the motor, and the fuel lines, and everything else. When pushing the manifold on, it required a huge amount of force to crush wiring looms to fit it, sensors like the MAP sensor are about 1mm from the firewall, and the FPR just has to bend ABS lines to be forced into place. After some brainstorming and some sad drinking, the loom for some reason ran from the grommet behind the ABS sensor, then to the driver side head, then back to the passenger side head. So all of this was pulled back and stripped, a few wires cut and rejoined, so that the 'branch' was now on the passenger side's head as below: Before you basically couldn't see anything behind the driver head. This is much improved! The MAP sensor is now pointing up (instead of at the firewall) Brackets have been made up for the rail. The rails are for a LS1, the manifold is designed around a LS2 as it's base. Which of course has slightly different bracketry and water pump clearance, hence the mods people need to do. Should be hopefully mounted tonight. I spent money on a new FPR that is slightly more compact than my Turbosmart FPR1200. The gauge has also been moved to the rail. There's also apparently an ORB to AN Union instead of the adapter, because the ~25mm of the current adapter is going to make the difference. Provided this all goes together and arrives today, it'll be the totally not stressful attempt to start it.
    • This seems like a pointless exercise. There is no E30 availability. Ongoing availability of E85 should not be assumed. Flex-fuel is the only sensible approach, so you can use E85 when and where you can get it, 98 when that's al you can get, and anything in between as you fill it up and drain it down. And if that means replacing the pumps, fitting a flex capable sensor/ECU/whatever has to be done to these Renault shitboxen, then.....so be it?
    • Sorry, I wasn't very clear.....just that the standard injectors are apparently good over 600rwhp/450rwkw which you won't get to on standard turbos anyway.....they are much better sized from factory than we are used to in RBs.
    • I'm not sure where you are, but United Terrey Hills has E85.
