hello all

Just wanting some opinions on what is the best way to improve my R33 s1 headlights low beam in particular

I already have gone out and purchased some dear phillips halogen globes (can't remember exactly what they were called)

which are meant to be 50 percent brighter than standard globes, I admit they are better than the standard ones but still don't do anything for me.

I'm going to see about retrofitting some sort of driving lights where the S1 has the space for them next to the indicators

they are there but have nothing in them, and I don't want to fit some after market HID set up that my headlights aren't designed for

and I don't really have the time to be mucking around with this either, I do a lot of driving and sometimes I don't finish work til ten at night

with a 40 min drive home on an unlit major highway so can't really use highbeam as too much traffic, I just want some decent low beam headlights.

So any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

fitting driving/fog lights won't do much because you can only use them in fog or as high beam lights. can't use on low beam.

what condition is the outter plastic lense in on your lights? is it cloudy at all? if it is i'd start by cleaning it. there are many ways to do it. cut and polish seems to do the job.

secondly i would look at the adjustment of the lights. if they are adjusted poorly then that will affect how well you can see with them.

    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
    • yeah, there's a country that recently started importing Skylines, I blame them.
