just wondering if i can put 100 watt head light globes instead of the standard 55 watt ones in my 93 r32 gtst mspec. i have heard something about changing the relay. i have also heard that is is not a good idea it can damage the projector. any info on this would be great i dont want to damage anything, cheers jonno.

I don't believe they make 100W for the low beam. The highest rated I have seen is 75W.

You can fit 100W for the high beam.

i have the 100w globes. my high beams are 130w globes.

it does say on the warning that "only standard 60 or 55 watt uv-cut globes are suitable for use with polycarbonate headlamp lenses".

does the skyline have polycarbonate lenses? dont care about people high beaming me just want to know if i can do it without damaging anything.

what wattage headlights are people using out there??? is it safe to run something bigger than standard 55w and less then 100w, cheers jonno

Don't do it if you've still got the stock setup. The only thing 100W did for my r32 was melt/blow fuses, I put in 30% brighter 55W bulbs and they were brighter.

If you've got a nice relay system set up, then run what you want, but higher watts doesn't necessarily mean a brighter light.

      I don’t really have any ideas how to set the timing on the CAS 😂, sounds like the top, sounds like it maybe misfiring as well as ticking,  got the box sorted 😌, must of been a air bubble on the clutch side

      Use a 2' length of hose (that's 2 foot, not 2 inches) as a stethoscope to localise the source of the ticking. From cam covers? From exhaust or turbo manifold gasket? From injectors? From lower down in the engine? Etc. Use a timing light to set the timing. Put Redline Lightweight Shockproof in the box. It's not the very best thing for the box, but it will take a box that refuses to engage a gear with other oil, and make it engage a gear. I had to put it in when I installed the R33 box I have in my car. It would not select ANY gear when running. Smurf jizz made it work. That was >10 years ago and I still use it. I'm stuck with it now. Failing that - rebuild the box.

      Well done Duncan. The fuel tank bulkhead lid is also in great condition (some of mine were stuffed). These are now out of production and good ones like that are becoming hard to come by.
