after an L plater reversed into my car i decided to do the repairs my self and keep the insurance cash . in the process of sanding scratches out of my headlight, i decided to switch to projectors with hids . bought myself a pair of lexus es300 headlights , and took out the projectors . heated the headlight cover off and mounted the projector , installed the hid . suprisingly it came out a lot better then i though it would . i ended up putting 6000k hids in . im halfway there just have one more headlight to do .

as hard as it is , there is no aftermarket headlights for r33 , unless of coarse you buy r33 gtr headlights with the projector . they look pretty neat although they are like 2k aparently . this job basically cost me $200 ... $50 for the es300 headlights and $150 for the hids .... tell me what you think , ill get some pics up later of night views... cheers

thanks for the comments guys cheers .. as for putting a cover , to be honest you cant really see it with all the surroundings being black . i was going to spray the actual projector black , but when i put it in you couldnt even see . just took some pics at night for you guys to see ... i want to get the other headlight done aswell . although it is time consuming to remove those plastic covers , especially when your oven is too small lol and you have to use a blow drier.

More pics during the day please :) Looks good mate, a lot of us have wanted to do this mod, yours is probably the nicest i've seen so far.

Since you have done it, do you believe the high beam one could be replaced just as easily with the projectors?

ahh you wouldnt ruin your headlights , there isnt any modifiying into the actual head light , you basically are just mounting them in . all you need to do is just remove the standard beam , which can always be put back in again . im working on the focus pics guys , finally had both done last night , now all i have to do is just get the correct adjustment which is taking a bit of time , but i will have some good pics up asap . thanks

Wow nice dude!

So you don't have to cut the original headlights to get the HID projectors in?

I'm tempted to do this but I'm afraid the GTR would attract even more police attention :blush: I regularly get pulled over at least once/wk for breath testing near where I live.

    • Update Issues 5 (plus #4) - 10 After making a claim about issue #4's missing part, DeAgostini Japan sent a whole new issue #4 and it arrived about 2 weeks after that. That was back in early March. It took another 4 weeks to receive issues 5 - 13 though. This update is for issues 5 - 10. Ove the 5 issues the front left suspension and most of the engine have been completed. The quality of the castings and fit of the parts is quite good, it seems better than DeAgostini's BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the Fast & Furious 2 movie, which (to me anyway) doesn't seem to have as tight tolerances or quite as accurate castings.  Each issue has a lot of info about the 1989 - 1993 Skyline range and other Nissan models from that era, but the focus is on the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo and the various racing it did in Japan, Europe (Spa 24hrs) and of course Australia. I've included some text translated with Google Lens in some photos and will add to them if there's anything worth including. 
    • If it's for a SR20, make sure it's not the American Poncams, might as well call them Poocams. Had a set in a friend's car, all scuffed up after a few track days. Like the metallurgy Tomei USA used is junk. Went back to JDM OG Tomei Poncams, no issues till now.   Tomei USA is not the real OG Tomei.   Random rant over, fk the US of A, bunch of c u n t s. 
    • Most of the industry in North America either runs on Siemens or Allen Bradley. I have two redundant S7-1500's on my desk right next to me for simulation. Siemens has been losing ground though since Stuxnet, as cybersecurity is a big thing. In my line of work that is federally regulated, you must by law have a cybersecurity management program in place and its audited and inspected every so often.  I work with Emerson PLC's daily (RX3i's) and have done large biogas/refinery projects with their DCS's. Their PLC's are somewhat OK minus the way they do PLC redundancy (You have to download on both PLC's separately every time you make a change )  As for their DCS's... you'll be limited financially first before anything else stops you. Costs are exorbiant at roughly 10x what it would cost you to do with any other system (e.g AB PAC).  1990's, those suckers are brand new haha! Kraft-Heinz (An old client when I use to work for an ESP) still runs Siemens TI505 PLC's from the mid 80's. Ohh how I don't miss working with those... you could only do a certain number of online downloads until it's "Change" buffer would be full and you would then need to go offline to do a full download. There was no warning of when this was coming up and it generally would happen when you would go in at 2am to make changes before production -_-.     
    • Unfortunately, not only is that not the case, one of the main "Selling points" of safety over comms is they clearly state in writing that there's no need to segregate safety networks from non-safety networks. It always gets intermingled with everything else on an ICS/OT network.
