OK thread renamed since it's taken on a life of it's own!

big thumbs up for CH10 with the new channel, they are showing heaps of interesting motorsport instead of the usual taxi procession.

I watch some DTM from hockenheim yesterday (much better racing than the local rubbish, although it was only a 20 car grid)

Anyway.....nascar is on atm. yes they only turn left, but if drag racing and drifting can be motorsport, so can this :( today is the "Milwaukee Mile"

I paid $70 for a bloke to come out yesterday and fix my reception problems just so I can watch OneHD. Turns out I need a better aerial at $340 grr. The sooner OneHD is available on Foxtel the better!

yeah i needed one too. at least it is half the cost of installing foxtel, and no monthly fees. I can't wait until foxtel goes broke and the few good shows on there come back to free to air.

damn all you lucky buggers with 1 HD already...ive still gotta wait

no SD either where you are? All aus transmittere will upgrade in the next year or 2. I've had digital for bloody years but until this year the only difference was the better reception. Now there's a whole heap of new channels from the existing broadcasters so there's heaps better options

ken oath. I get up too early to stay up until 1.30 on school nights. I can deal with 11pm tho :(

We have OneHD on Foxtel via cable

One of these for $149 does a great job on FTA digital HD.

I've already got Foxtel installed on the basic package with IQ1 which is the best thing since sliced bread but I can't get OneHD on the IQ2 box (not in my area or something which is weird because I thought the idea of satellite was that 'area' became obsolete).

It would have been cheaper for me to pay an extra $10/mth for IQ2 giving me access to OneHD than it would be to spend $340 on getting a new antenna installed.

BTW if anyone needs a settop box I've got an HD one for sale, $100, works fine.

I just picked up a hdd recorder that had a built in tuner so I don't need the old tuner any more

daytona 400 this morning. some of the historical footage is classic (door to door racing on a beach anyone???)

Not to mention what's now destined to be one of the funniest race finishes ever!

      R33 headlight relay conversion?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Any number of different ways. Have the coils draw sufficient current to provide contact wetting. Use different contacts in the switch, either by material or design, better suited to the low current drawn by a relay coil. Etc.

      Hmm, how does the R34 manage to have headlight relays then without getting excessive carbon buildup on the headlight switch contacts?

      Not R7R. Meant to type R&R, obviously enough.

      R33 headlight relay conversion?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Bugger "making it look stock". I put one conventional internally fused Hella relay behind each globe. I just pulled the plugs off the back of the globes and built new loom segments with male and female plug parts to match up to the original loom and the globe, and used the original power wires to each globe coming from the switch through the original loom plug to trigger the relays. Ran a big fat (also separately fused) power wire across the front of the car to feed all the relays. It's as ugly as f**k, but it is wedged down between the headlight and battery on the RHS and the airbox and headlight on the LHS, and no-one ever looks in my engine bay, and on the odd occasion that they do I simply give no f**ks for what they think. Fully reversible - not that you'd ever want to. For f**k's sake. It's a Skyline. They made million of the bloody things. We've been crashing them into roadside furniture for 30 years now. There is a negative side effect to putting relays on the headlights. The coil current is too little to properly clean the contacts in the switches and they get blacked up and you have to open them up every couple of years and clean them manually. I have 25 years of experience on this point.

      R33 headlight relay conversion?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I was poking through the R34 wiring diagrams vs R33 and noticed that the R34 has proper headlight relays while the R33 is like the R32 and sends full headlight power through the headlight switch. I'm not afraid of wiring but I really would like to do this in a way that looks OEM (clipping into open positions on the OEM relay box) and also unlike the factory wiring which interlocks the high beam and low beam on the halogen series 1 GTR headlights I want to make it such that turning on the high beams keeps the low beams on as well. Any advice on how to locate the specific connectors + crimp terminals + relays I need? I was thinking one NO relay for low beams and another for combined high + low running off the factory high beam headlight connector. I don't really want to splice into a crusty old probably discontinued factory harness so fully reversible is my goal here.
