hrm HID is nice and pretty but if it's not going to last longer than halogen then i guess i'd just pass it... say if the ballast blows because of the hi/lo beam switch reason then the replacement cost is pretty high...

plus i'd have to adjust my headlights lower so it won't glare oncoming traffic... but that reduces visibility

theres a fix for the hi/low beam switch problem your talking about for 33's atleast (and i dare say for 32's aswell).

I've rewired my headlights so that the low beams dont actually turn off when i go to highbeam, so on high beam all 4 lamps are lit.

So while the high beams might suffer from a slightly higher failure rate due to flicking on off, the low beams should avoid the issue.

the howto for this mod is somewhere in the diy section, cant recall the link but do a search for "dual headlight" and it should come up.

As far as colour goes, i purchased mine of nyt and after speaking to him i went with 6000k and 8000k, which is "damn white" and "damn white with a touch of blue", both from the "goddamn bright" collection. From what i've been told the light penetration actually drops after about 8000k, so it goes bluer but dimmer if you will (if you like the colours nyt also sells 12000k, which is purple). Given the problems you might face with legalities of HID's i'd go 8000k max as any higher will not only stand out due to brightness, but also due to it being a funky colour.

hey guys thx for the tip,

I wanna get two different colours to make it look like white and purple.

so i should get the kits that's 6000k and a 10,000k?

Plus the link i just put up only stock 6000k.

Anyone know a good china made band for more bluer colour?

Thank you

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      I have always resisted the urge to go silly. 8" wide wheels and street friendly spring rates? Check. (Let's not talk about the steadily increasing spread of spherical joints across my suspension!!) Stock turbo, run at 12 psi? Check. Lasted for ?10 years before it died. Highflow put on rather than seizing the opportunity to go G45. You don't need 300 rwkW, let alone the more massive numbers that seem to be essential these days, to have a car that is already way too powerful and fast for a streeter. ~250rwkW is fine. I've never exceeded 200, although I will sneak up above it if and when I manage to get my finger out and do what needs to be done to use the highflow's capacity. You don't need $10k worth of CF bits glued onto the outside. You don't need razor sharp ankle cutting front splitters. You don't need the car to be 2" off the ground. You don't need flawless paint, mirror finished wheels, brand new indicator lenses, etc etc. All these things just make the car impractical and will cause you pain when they get damaged, which is inevitable for a street car. A few nice additions are good. Good seats are good. A nice stereo is good. A/C is good! (46° on the road yesterday and my A/C is degassed again. Was moderately traumatic driving home!) The main reason I stick with a mildly modified old Skyline is that I have had it for  >25 years, the mods are the rolling result of 25 years of things dying and being upgraded opportunistically, coupled with a few "just 'coz" ones. And I hate modern almost all cars. If I was a young buck starting out now.... I wouldn't bother. Cars have a few years left where there is any possibility of interest or fun. Thereafter there will be no such thing allowed or possible. Any time, money and effort spent now on a project would just be a waste.

      Wont start unless i have the pedal to the floor

      Let's be wary though, if cranking is so far off, what else isn't set right? Are the dead times set right, voltage compensation etc?   It definitely sounds like it's cranking fuel issues, and holding flat to the floor is shutting them down, but I'm with Duncan that if nothing was changed in the ECU at all, and then this started, I'd be more thinking a leaking injector.   Do as Duncan said, drop the oil and make sure it's not full of fuel.

      It actually means give it less throttle.

      Yeah if the goal is to drive something then modifying a car is a bad idea.
