I didn't know it was that easy to just "wire in". Any one here seen it done before? What do those displays go for? That's got me thinking now....

i have the wiring diagram for r33 somewhere if you want it.

if i remember right it display boost, oil pressure, oil temp, water temp, intake temp (only on vspec 2 model) and some other stuff.

they arent hard to find but do cost upwards of $1000, you just need to find one that comes with the plug then u chop the plug off and connecting the wires to ur ecu wires

Hmm interesting. I've got the wiring diagrams for the R33, might look into this if i can pick one up for a decent price. The worst thing about it would be cutting up the dash, but i suppose there would be a way around this.

The silver R33 on page 2 is my car, I'm happy to answer any questions if anybody wants some info.

Cheers,

Matt.

R33 GTS-t I helped a mate with;

Did LED Rear lights too;

did you do a step by step on the retro fit ? - been wanting to do this for a while, but from memory was it 1200pounds to do it all ?

might aswell just buy s3 gtr headlights for that price

I completely agree, the conversion above was done by the owner and I assisted him by advising which parts to buy.

The only parts not readily available were the brackets (as I designed them) and the owner had them manufactured at his own cost.

The above conversion cost about £280 from memory, his intention is to also have a carbon duct through the headlight feeding the intake.

There's no shroud around the projector as I never got round to designing one and the owner didn't want one anyway.

I've never done a step-by-step guide for the headlights but have done one for the rear lights..

I reckon you should do a guide for the headlights bro... series 2 owners cant really get the other series headlights on if what Ive been reading is correct. Help us out plz? :(

ok, I'll try and get some more photos off Steve and post them up with a few pointers for you guys.

Started off with the standard halogen light;

The Bi-Xenon pojectos I used in this conversio were from and Audi A6 - later version.

The lenses were removed to allow installation, also the soleniod control circuit was removed and the loom extended so that it can be connected to the OEM loom;

The 3D bracket using the original mounting points of the halogen lamp allowing adjustment as per OEM light.

No mounting the Bi-Xenon projector to the original halogen reflector;

Connected the projector to the OEM loom and had a trial installation to ensure everything was aligned;

Started building the lights back up;

And then Steve decided he wanted custom side lights as well!;

(You can see the solenoid control circuit has been removed, wired extended and installed bottom left between the main and high beam units)

If you want more info, as in how to split the lights apart etc let me know.

Cheers,

Matt.

quick question, the projector units, do they have a levelling device? dunno how it applies in the UK but here to do these conversions and have them comply with the ADR' (specifically ADR 13) in cars built after 1st October 1991 we have to have:

1. either a vehicle or a headlamp self levelling device to orientate the beam, as well as

2. a headlamp cleaning device to remove debris from the lens that may otherwise cause light refraction beyond the low beam cut-off line

this is for HID of course but you see where I'm coming from. I've seen nozzles that just spray water onto the headlamp be used as a cleaning device so that shouldn't be too hard, it's the levelling that has got me thinking.

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
