I put some of those Philips vision plus 50% more light bulbs in last night, they seem a bit better.. (not as good as a HID setup tho :D )

~$40 from autobarn - they didn't have osram - who has osram locally?

I need some of the sidelights now - what type/where can i get those from?

Hehe, not as good as a HID setup, but also less expensive!

If you're thinking of tracking down the Osrams, don't bother, they'll be almost exactly the same, as the Auto Express review said.

I don't know what type sidelights are used in a Skyline, does it say in your car's manual? Is there anything wrong with the way your sidelights look now?

Except that LG Electronics does not make light bulbs.

Further searching reveals that the MegaLight name is usually associated with Tungsram, which is a General Electric owned company in Hungary.

Yeah on the Box it has the little GE logo, I got given 2 set of these from my bro in law who works at a place that imports all kinds of electronic stuff, including bulbs, here in brissie.

Anyway, I'd never seen these before ever, but DAMN they are bright, had them in 3 months now, very happy, I'd rather have that slightly bluish tinge just for the reasons of I reckon blue lights up everything better plus less glare on oncoming drivers, I always wave to cars that have these to thank them for having them, less glare on my eyes = good :D

I dunno how much they cost, but they are friggin bright, as mindflux knows :D but I can PM out the contact details for the company my bro in law works for and you can contact them yourselfs if you are interested.

Prolly no where near as good as all that HID stuff as they are just bulbs and fit into the standard R33 that I have, but WOW, I never seen bulbs that were that bright before :)

ferni you really should have spent extra and bought the crystal visions. at the same time ask for the AAA LED park lights with the spread beams in white. if you need part numbers let me know but thats the setup i did and far better than the vision plus stuff. the park lights (side lights) are just real common push on globes.

btw how did the group buy go. if you are interested in HID stuff try american ebay they are cheap, they also have the piaa globes cheap too.

The group buy never went ahead

And yes American ebay was the place where we were going to do the group buy..through one of the suppliers on their..

For every 10 bought he was going to knock $5 to $10US of each pack :thumbsup:

    • They are what I will be installing. 640s for me.
    • Hmm... From my experience you get about 0.25° camber change per mm of RUCA length change. So, to correct from -2.5 up to less than -1° (or, more than -1° if you look at the world as a mathematician does) then you'd be making 6-8mm of length change on the RUCA. From a stock length of 308mm, that's 2-2.5% difference in RUCA length. My RUCAs are currently very close to stock length - certainly only 2-3mm different from stock. I had to adjust my tension arms by 6mm to minimise the bump steer. That's 6mm out of 210, which is 2.8%. That's a 2.8% change on those, compared to a <1% change on the RUCAs. So the stock geometry already has worse bump steer than is possible - you can improve it even if you don't change the RUCA length. If you lengthen the RUCAs at all, then you will definitely be adding bump steer. Again, with my car, I recently had an unpleasant amount of bump steer, stemming from a number of things that happened one after another without me having an opportunity to correct for them. I only had to change the tension arm lengths by 1mm to minimise the resulting bump steer. (Granted, I also had to dial out a lot of extra toe-in in the rear, and excessive rear toe-in will make bump steer behaviour worse). Relatively tiny little adjustments having been made - the car is now completely different. Was horrifying how much it wanted to steer from the rear on any significant single wheel bump/dip. And it was even bad on expansion joints on long sweepers on freeway entry/exits, which are notionally hitting both rear wheels at the same time. My point is, the crappy Nissan multilink is quite sensitive to these things (unlike the very nice Toyota suspension!). And I think 99.75% of Skyline owners are blissfully ignorant of what they are driving around on. Sadly, it is a non-trivial exercise to set up to measure and correct bump steer. I am happy to show my rig, which involves nasty chunks of wood bolted to the hub, mirrors, lasers, graph paper targets and other horrors. Just in case anyone wants to see how it is done. I'll just have to set it up to take the photos.
    • What do you have in that bad boy ? Ill go with the 725cc since I'll be going with Nistune ( would definitely like more engine protection but Haltech is too far out of reach at the moment... plus, Ill probably have a pretty safe tune as its a daily, not gonna be chasing peak power 24/7 ahahah ). Are Xspurt a safe choice?  Pete's great. He didnt mention anything about traction arm length so I reckon it may be good. When I get some new wheels/tire later down the road I'll ask him about it and get his opinion on em. I heard from Gary that you've got the bilsteins too, are you running the sway bars too? and what other suspension goodies do you have installed or would recommend?
