So I've had a search n have worked out that I'll probs get new bulbes through "sharperdeal" on Ebay. I'm thinking 6000K or 8000K. Not 100% yet cause although i want the 6000K's n really like the idea of having nice bright headlights, I'm not sure if they will be too bright n in that case I'd go for the 8000K's.

So I've got 3 questions.

1. What do people recomend out of the 2? I do a mix of City, Suburban and Highway driving. If some people can post up some pics maybe. Looking at the car as well as showing how far/much they light the area up.

2. Looking on "sharperdeals" Ebay page you can select D2R/D2S and then the intensity or you can just select the intensity. Which one do I need? From the looks the bases/mounting is different.

3. Also has anyone changed their parkers(ie.small bulbs in head lights)? And what with?

FYI: They will be going in a S2 RS FOUR S.

Thanks to everyone in advance

Hi Matteh

1. Personally I wouldn't go over 6000K otherwise looks too ricey and they attract The Filth.

2. Are you looking at upgrading your hi beams or headlights as the high beams are a Halogen D2R which you'd need an HID upgrade kit to do.

The Xenon Headlights are D2R

3. Yes. You can use anything that uses a T10 base. White LED's look the best with Xenons.

I want to go 6000K but im not sure if they'll be too bright. I dont want to be attracting unwanted attention. Plus I want everyone else on the road pissed off with me cause they can barely see.

Looking at upgrading my headlights. Maybe upgrade the Highbeam next.

I agree mate. That would be what I'd be doing. Is the T10 base a standard base?

so am i.......

:P

Hey mate,

i run 8000 in my M35, they are a little on th eblue side but not to bad. They seem to really highlight and reflect objects in th edistance very well...

I also run LED's in the parkers that are made up from 18 multidirectional white LED's, they look sweet and match the HID colour well.

Just my 2c worth, I got all my globes through E-Bay, 60 for the HID' and 18 for the LED's.

Cheers

      I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p

      Got just the wing painted and fitted up to the existing boot. Big visual change and about time after having a GTR wing sitting in the shed since 2018 Headed up to Mallala with a quick obligatory stop in at Boliver OTR Oil control mods seems to have worked. I checked the catch can after session 1 and there was a dribble of water/e85 with barely any oil in it. After session 2 and 3 there was almost nothing and I stopped checking after that. so either great success or catastrophic failure/block of the external breather The GTR wing made a noticeable difference in the 160-185km/h sweepers. It was a very hot day for the cars at over 33C but the previously done cooling upgrade/ducting/water sprayers meant I never saw over 60C intake, 105C water and 100C oil and temps would drop back down very quickly once I shut it down. AD09's are a decent tyre but certainly and expectedly a step down when compared the the CR-S/AR-1 I have had on the car for years of track days. The handling characteristics of my car which I often describe using the Tony Hawks Pro Skater balance mechanic where either side of the center is understeer/oversteer was much more pronounced with no "green/safe" zone in the middle. However, imo it steers well/easily during oversteer largely thanks to the custom ACOSTAL front end. Enjoy a loose lap POV with my mate giggling away as a passenger.   Group photo for Peer Pressure Racing made it back home and gave it a wash Overall a great success compared to my previous two track days where i cooked the Starlets motor and blew up the new diff in the R32

      AC not coming from top vents

      By Templim · Posted

      Ayooo, been a while mates. I have a s2 r33 gtst and air stopped coming out of all the top vents.   My car has always made an actuator gear noise when turning the car on but that's a different issue I think? Did searches and am at process of thinking it's an actuator or some type of motor? I see a few different actuators and don't know which one. Would be nice to know if it was the one that's under the steering wheel so the dash doesn't need to come out.

      Hi, just checking. Did you get this stuff made by Vspec Performance and at what price roughly? Looking into (sometime later) also getting such a intake kit, and Trust as well as HKS don't make a full set like this anymore.
