Headlight Problem


Recommended Posts

hey guys i was wondering if anyone could help me..

awhile back i installed Xenon's into my car to replace the normal headlight globes, and

due to a smash i had, the panel beaters i took it to got s2 lights on my s1 r33, which look great.

but there is one problem, when i first installed them one of the lights where way to high and blinding

on coming traffic, which is funny, but dangerous.. so i thought i fixed it, but im still getting a flash every now and

again..

my question is how do i adjust them? there is 3 knobs i can turn, but one is for the high beams,

and the other 2 i dont know what they do and one is a real pain in the ass to get to.

so does any one know which knob i should be turning in order to lower my headlights?

thanks.

Try adjusting the ones that are a pain in the arse to get to. They're usually the ones that adjust your headlights.

When you say you installed 'xenon's' do you mean HID lights? If you did, that'll be the reason everyone's flashing you right there. Have a search about HIDs into R33's reflectors to find out why.

Occassional flashes nowadays mean 3 things

1. You're lights are too high.

2. You're lights are too bright.

3. You're giving you the 'heads up' for nearby cops.

So yeah, could be either one dude!

    • Hey y'all! So I am the owner of a shiny new '99 ENR34 25GT-Four, 5spd manual. Took it to the tire shop to get new shoes. They mismatched the front and rear axles (225/40s on rear, 225/45s on front), so AWD system went bonkers for the next day. Took it back in, they fixed it, but I noticed about 8-9 big drops of red fluid in my parking spot. Leaking has stopped, but it's clear that the transfer case may have been stressed/hurt by this debacle. I'm taking it in for inspection tomorrow. If things are FUBAR, I have a few questions. - ENR34 manual transmission transfer cases seem impossible to source. Can a GTR transfer case fit? Or if not the whole thing, just seals or components? GTR is 6spd, mine's 5spd, so I'm thinking no, but lmk. - Finding a few RB25DE NEO AWD auto transmissions for sale, for decently cheap. If my only option is to swap to auto, what else will I need besides an auto-specific gauge cluster, and associated wiring? - I imagine the R32/33 GTS4 transmissions/transfer cases are a no-go? They're not NEO engines, so unsure. - RB25DET/4WD setup from the Stagea, any parts that transfer over? I did search up for this on SAU and google, very little info covered.   This is my first post, so apologies for breaking any rules, please let me know, and thanks for the help.
    • Thanks. I agree, looking at those plugs in conjunction with good compression/leak down tests I'm not too certain its ring related anymore.  I have a Swagelok ball valve on the drain and tubed it lower down to the left side of car to easily dump it into a container. I do not drain back into the sump. I've never had to drain it though as there's never been any oil in it. 
    • Best bang for buck at the moment would be a 86/brz. Good chassis,  plenty of aftermarket support and parts everywhere.   I just picked one up with some quality gear and it drives better than my old 180sx.    Also depending on what your doing and budget.  An a90 supra is my pick if want to spend more. Great chassis, solid motor, gearbox is good. Development potential is crazy. They are doing well in prod sport and time attack. All the old jdm stuff needs alot of work as most of it all bent and over priced.
    • It's basically the same platform, hence why everything bolts to everything else Kelford camshafts were recommended by Mania after they asked me what I want the car for, I said "I'll thrash it around daily and maybe take it to the track for fun" 🤣 Factory NC 2.0L cam specs: - Adv. Dur. 256 /256 - Dur @ .050 205 /190 - Lift 9.42mm/8.13mm So, as I know nothing about cam specs, all I can say is the numbers are different and it should get a little bit of lope....🤣
    • Depends on how extreme, however if you look at SMSP, they're all dominated by Hondas and M cars on amateur/street car events.
