My headlights are shitty lookin' and I'm thinking about getting a HID conversion kit. Does anyone have any suggestions or things I should be aware of when planning on doing this, or better yet looking for advice from someone who has already done it. I notice with a lot of the kits online they include 2 globes but I would need 4 would I not? Or are you only supposed to do it on the high beams?

just need a kit of the 2 globes, and the ballast with the cabels etc, all comes in the kit

they r illegal you can be done for them cos there not factory, and you dont have the auto leveling and washes etc and r33s dont have projector style headlights

go to the group buy section on the forums im sure theres a group buy on them at the moment, thats how i got mine

and installation is simple and easy:

just take out ur halogens

remove the cap

drill a 2.5cm hole in the cap

feed in the cabels and connect it to the hid globe

put cap bak on

find a suitable place to put the ballast and secure it there

and up to you if you want to do high and low beam, ur low beams will be brighter so you wont be using your highs as much any more

You can get a decent set of hid's from where I work in midland gee. Will coat ya 149, but coz your with sau il do em cheaper. Only do the low beam, that's what I've done, and jus a set of aftemarket bulbs for the hi beam as you wont use em much.

    • Waaay ahead of ya....(evil laugh!!) Will show the fitment and spec details later when it isnt as rainy !
    • Thanks Dose.....    I appreciate it!!
    • I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.
    • I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.   
    • Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
