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.

      Hypergear Turbochargers and High flow Services Development thread

      Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)

      I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.

      Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.

      Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?

      Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
