To my knowledge, if its HID.. then it must have a ballast, ignitor and the rest of it..

if it says HID globe, i reckon its just trying to draw attention to ppl that it might be "HID-like" but its actually just a white halogen bulb.

Just get some branded globes (eg philips, narva) with the proper rating to your stock bulbs

+1 to what he's saying, but I can't seem to get the eBay link to work.

I've got the cheap HID kits installed in my R32's projectors and I have to admit, they're shit. They produce much better lighting at night, but also quite a lot of glare and hot spots. I'd recommend getting some name brand globes.

Yeah, I agree too... I was thinking of getting a HID kit too... but with HID's - they will gradually get dimmer and then whitish yellowy after a while - also, too much glare... I'd recommend the Phillips Diamond Vision range - very nice clear white light and very durable would last you a couple of years, I'd say.

there not an proper xenon light they are gas filled halogen lights, iv tryed the best brands most expensive and the results wernt much better

Yep, I know what you mean mate. Next thing to do is get a retrofit all setup and ready to go. With what your car's gone through, you wouldn't want your car to have shit glary headlights. Retrofit it!

Hey 32JEZ, how do those ebay globes compare to Philip Diamond Range? Whiter, brighter?? Anyone else can vouch for these globes?

Didnt think the phillips ones came in a h3c, on other cars have run 6mm wire direct from the baterry via a relay helped quite a bit

Havn't tried it yet on the 32 but might have ta the stock lights are crap mine had raybrig? globes when I got it there pretty well known and xpensive

actually think they were pretty average but who knows how old they were?

Couldnt direct ya to a skyline one but there is one for doing it to a jeep :P

all pretty well much of a muchness would save some wear an tear on ya headlight switch too

as it is only triggering the lights not carrying any real load

http://go.jeep-xj.info/HowtoHeadlightLoom.htm

and have to agree with comments about limiting the wattage used have replaced my jeep lights with glass ones to run higher wattage 100/130's

have seen others melt toyota 4B lights using similar bulbs

      Use text replace function to auto-link to referred threads?

      Yeah the issue here is that we have a lot of topics, unless we matched on the exact word & phrase we'd get a million topics and the one you want will not likely be in the top 20 or so.

      By PranK · Posted

      Yeah great idea, I have already added R32 Wiring Diagram but we can add as many as we want. 100% ! This has been something I've wanted to do for a while. I thought we could have a way for people to 'suggest' a link be added to the library when they come across something good.  We could kick this along by allowing members (maybe a subset) to tag threads they find to allow us to more easily find/locate/use good content, ie a tag 'for-library' which can then be added to the library and maybe have the tags reviewed and updated to better match the content. This would make it easier then to find the content when not using the library. We can also create pages that have lists of content with specific tags. That would allow us to add a tag and then have it automatically added to a page. We could have a page just for the 'for-library' content that we could then moderate and put wherever.  This excites me, the lack of structure with the amount of content is a little overwhelming.

      RB25DET Engine Oil Dipstick Length

      Of course you can. That was a waste. Straight down one oil drain gallery and out the sump hole. Could at least have run the engine a little (obviously with at least minimum oil level on the stick).

      Fixing exhaust position?

      By PranK · Posted

      Oh really? Maybe I'm being silly. I'll get some more shots. I had it higher but found that it went too high after a drive, I never knew this but exhausts can move around a bit when hot (makes sense, just never knew) and when it was higher it would make nice cooking plastic smells. That said, I could put some heat tape on a'la 90's R33 exhausts     Ha, I've spent a lot of my life in castle hill waiting for cars to be done. I think I'd prefer something closer but thanks D.

      RB25DET Engine Oil Dipstick Length

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      @Duncan Yes, changed filter every time. I don't have the service manual for the car yet (Car was imported and they removed everything when importing). I've been using the oil change threads in the forum as reference.   @Milkmun The second oil change was after ~4 months after the first months and I wasn't sure about reusing engine oil that was opened. The third oil change happened within 3 weeks of the second oil change and I used the previous leftover oil to just "clean up" the system. (Poured it through while the sump plug was open")
