Hi All,

As some of you have seen on the VIC meet day, I was very happy getting my internal bulbs replaced with SMDs. SMDs are much brighter than LEDs and are the next generation technology in diodes for white light (equivalent to 6000K). Please note that I am purely wanting to help you out on pimping your ride so I am setting up this Expression Of Interest for SMD White Lights (hopefully resulting in a large batch order group buy). Obviously SMDs cost more than LEDs but it is well worth the money to get brighter lights. I previously did a few cars with LEDs and they were crappy...Do you own research.

After fitting out my wife's Mazda 3, my V35, my MX5 and the rest of the family cars, I have found a very good supplier in China and will enquire about a large group buy order (depending on the amount of interest).

I know for a fact, that if you have a sedan, you'll need:

6 x 31mm festoons

2 x T10s

2 x T5s (depends on if you have the footwell lights installed by the dealer).

Here are the pics of my bulb replacements...very bright (all 6000k white light)!

1. Map lights:

2. Front passenger door underlight:

3. Front driver door underlight:

4. Rear passenger lights (left passenger one shown only):

5. Front passenger footwell light:

6. Front driver footwell light:

7. Rear licence plate light:

8. Boot light:

Please note that all the lights are the one colour - approx 6000K white light....

This order will be restricted to white SMDs of the following types only only:

31mm Festoon - containing 6 SMDs each bulb (see pics 1, 2, 3 and 4). These are about $9.20 each delivered to me currently.

T10 - containing 4 SMDs each bulb (see pics 7 and 8). These are about $4.00 each delivered to me currently.

T5 - containing 1 SMD each bulb (see pics 5 and 6). These are about $2.70 each delivered to me currently.

I know the above prices are cheaper than eBay (and cheaper than Jaycar), and the more that we buy, the prices will drop further...To save money, they will be posted to me, and I will pack them in jiffy bags and send them off to you.

If you require LEDs, you will need to buy elsewhere as I refuse to arrange an order for inferior products.

Please count and check you requirements as it's different for V35 Coupes and later model V35 sedans (maybe)...Obviously, this EOI / GB is not restricted to V35s only....

email me if you have an enquiry: siu_loong_bao @ hotmail.com

Nel.

UPDATE:

After reading the rules on GBs, please note the following:

1. I am not the seller.

2. These bulbs are direct from a Shanghai, CHINA factory who make heaps of LEDS, HIDs, SMDs, etc....

3. Cut-off date is 31st Aug 2009.

4. Once they arrive, you can come to west side of Melb to pickup, or they will be posted in a jiffy bag, and postage will vary according to you location.

These are pics of the SMD bulbs:

Also, if you want to do your front fog/haze lights (located in the highbeam reflector housing), then you'll need some T10s...

I haven't done mine yet, but this is the light I am talking about:

Hey Nelson how are ya?

I'm keen to get them, put my name down!

Thanks MILLOS...

****To make it easier, all interested members, please fill this out:*****

Forum ID:

31mm Festoon (Quantity):

T10 (Quantity):

T5 (Quantity):

Location (Suburb & State):

Since half the posts have gone missing, those who were interested, please repost again.

If there is continued little interest, then this EOI/GB will be cancelled...

As i've said before - nicely - GB's are to be in the GB section only.

They must follow the GB guidelines that are setout in that section.

There is key information missing that is not inline with forum policy.

The rules are there to protect members, i am not saying you are dodgy, however we must try our best to look after people.

My requests for GB's to correctly follow the rules i do not feel is out of line... please do so.

R31Nismoid - Please lock this thread...

A new GB Thread has been created:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Gb...te-t281566.html

If you are interested, please post in the new thread...

danny_tg - yes, you'll need 4 x 31mm Festoons.

Apologies for the inconvenience...

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
