Hey guys,

since ive got a new bar and new lights start of the year, which some people prob seen them, very clear and shiney

people have complained about them being to bright etc or slighty pointed up

Ive tried to adjust them by the screws in the back, Does that help? lol

Or the screw in the side? or top? just wanna know the best way.

cars in the garage now with door shut and ive marked where they are, so i can adjust them and see if they move below the mark..

I'll search the forums now.. but if anyone knows now post up!

depends which way its out mate, as to which ones you adjust.

Ive heard good auto-elec's have some device that measures it to you can calibrate it correctly

Not sure as ive never actually seen it in person, but i was asking as i'll need to do mine in the near future and thats what i was told :(

I did mine a few months back. It adjustble by a screw (prob easier to use a socket) , but its tucked away in a very hard to reach place.

btw was your car on the SAU stand at autosalon with the super shiny s2 headlights?? and tinted foggies?

pull up about 30cm from a brick wall or a roller door that has some sort of horizontal lines, mark the wall where the light shines it will be a fairly definate line then move st8r back 10m and use the adjusters to bring the lights back to that position (make sure the ground is level). It is a pretty quick and easy way to get an accurate aim.... we used to do 100's of new cars as part of predelivery

      Removing Charcoal Canister

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      People think it's a waste of space, ugly, etc, generally associate "emissions control equipment" with "bad". These OBD1 vacuum-only systems I'm not a huge fan because I think they don't go far enough. They're wasting some of the fuel captured because they start purging as soon as the engine pulls vacuum. Later OBD1/OBD2 they put an electric purge valve on them to vent only when closed loop is active so the ECU will trim some fuel out. Even later OBD2 with zero evaporative loss the tank is 100% sealed from atmosphere until you run the engine or press the refuel door release. The tank has to take much higher vacuum/pressure spec but you never deal with saturating the charcoal canister and losing some fuel that way. The fuel also lasts as long as it would in a 100% airtight container which is nice when you're dealing with modern E10 pump gas.

      Purchase new air conditioning condenser, and receiver / drier

      If your luck is anything like mine, what happens is in the process of pulling hoses to get access to the one leak you create many more leaks because every o-ring was on the verge of failing and the strain of pulling it apart caused it to fail. Sometimes life is simple, sometimes you pay twice trying to save once. For the R33 you can still get most AC components from Nissan, I use nissan epc data or amayama to look up the part numbers and then search for the cheapest/most practical way of sourcing from there.

      Boxes of oil?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      The dirty secret is there is nothing recyclable about the plastic bag or old plastic bottles either. Our local trash collection explicitly calls it out as hazmat in both cases. Oil-soaked rags + paper towels too. Oil-soaked cardboard is also not recyclable. The most common case of oil-soaked paper like that is pizza boxes, which are explicitly compost-only from the oil. To my knowledge hazmat oil contaminated plastic the only solution is either landfill or "thermal recycling". Most plastics in my experience there is slow permeation of the oil it's holding into the container so it's very challenging to get it 100% clean.

      Import insurance in 2025

      Yes, and since RAA insurance essentially being swallowed up by the same monster that is NRMA insurance and all those other clowns, they are no bloody good now either. We dropped RAA insurance for the house a little while back because they lost the plot.

      I can tell you now, good luck if you're with NRMA (NSW equiv of vis RACV and QLD RACQ). Because NRMA are freaking horrendous to deal with for claims, even with a normal road car. Not to mention even more BS when they're in the wrong and didn't cancel a policy etc when they were meant to and make you jump through hoops for things.
