Was wondering if anyone could tell me what headlight globes and what brand is best to put in my r33 series 1.5

I want them to be a bright white i've seen a lot of japansese cars around lately with the bright

white lights and they look cool and can I put higher wattage globes without melting the headlights

or would it be safer to just stick with 12v 55w which is in it now.

any help on this is appreciated I am so sick of my yellow looking headlights but dont really want

to fork out a lot of money for other headlights at the moment as im still paying off my car.

Next time do a search in the cosmetics section, but it's not recommended that you put higher wattage globes in your headlights because they'll melt and it's not recommended that you go for HID kits to make your light output better cause it'll create hot spots and HUGE amounts of glare.

Try to get something from the Philips range. Spend some quality money on quality globes.

Been covered many times. Your low beam globe type is most likely H1.

I can tell you what NOT to buy, the MTEC brand, it's a shithouse

thought I was getting some nice white bulbs with a hint of blue and the light came out with a red tinge.

If you have anything besides S2 headlights then 35W HID kits might be alright for you.

And they're about 50-70% brighter than your normal 55W halogen bulbs

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I've always approached this as, price is comparable between low temp and high temp fluid. Just put in the high temp fluid. I've not going to lose any sleep thinking about could I have saved $20 on brake fluid that is going to live in the car over the next 2 to 3 years.

      Nah, the creases were pretty large, and the sheet metal is pretty thin and hard to work out, time alone is in the hours to fix, and would probably have more bog than I would be happy with In other, more happy news, I gave MX5 Mania a call and they have a few clean boots available for $400 a peice, I've contacted Fineline and given them their contact details, I'm a idiot for not thinking of them sooner

      High temp brake fluid?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      That really depends on how hot the brakes get and how much of any heat is transferred into the fluid. That really makes it at least a vehicle specific question, and more than like a specific vehicle specific question, depending on what brakes (ie stock, bigger rotors, different calipers) or even what pads are on it. And then there's the question of cooling air. Is there plenty stock? Is there no special cooling arrangements stock? Has some/more been added? In other words, I think you have to do the experiment to obtain the data. And if you;re worried - tie on some ducting?

      High temp brake fluid?

      By PranK · Posted

      In all the track days I've done over the past few months I've only had 1 issue with braking and thats with my current EBC pads (can't remember the colour, but they're not a track pad). I don't *think* I have had issues with brake fluid getting too hot, my understanding is that when that happens you will have quite noticeable brake loss - which I haven't had.  I'm using just regular ol' Penrite Super DOT4 fluid. I use this fluid in everything and my cars always seem to stop so I see no reason to change, except ... for the 335i. I need to do a fluid flush and was thinking about my fluid of choice and wondering if I should consider using something more high temp? Its not a super fast car by any standards but I'd hate to do a flush and then find myself with no brakes when I get. to Wakefield.  I guess, my question can be summed up as "How fast do you need to be driving to need higher temp brake fluid?"  I remember high temp fluid was considered a must have back in the day when I had my GTR.

      RB25DET in GTS4 R32 conversion

      By Jason Abell · Posted

      For anyone that comes here looking for answers on what can go wrong with gts-4 to rb25detneo swap. The Gloria's awd sump is different and does not fit. The rb25neo from stagea are exactly the same sump bolt pattern and axel alignment. Castings numbers are different on Gloria's blocks and oilpans if they need to be identified.
