Custom Glass Carbon Fibre R33 Projector Headlights Group Buy!


Recommended Posts

Been wondering when anyone's going to ever make aftermarket headlights for 33s lol. I'm in on this for sure.

Agreed with the 1 projector per headlight idea too, keeps the cost down and halogen is more practical with the existing high beam set-up on r33s (low beams turns off when high beams are activated).

will it be a problem flashing your headlights as when you flash the hi-beams the low be does turn off yeah?

is that bad for the lights being projector hid?

its illegal right to have the low beam stay on while the hi-beam is on, yes?

This group buy idea is making me hold fof on all other purchases for the 33 now you realise, until I know how much of my monthly mod budget will be taken up by this one...

Should we be looking at headlight protectors as well now?

since they would be glass, Id be worried about stones hitting my nice new glass lenses...

Personally I wouldn't worry about it to much, glass is pretty strong.

I'm in too, depending on price.

So will this be a changeover kinda deal with my stock headlights? coz the brackets and housing on my stockies are shagged that's why I'm interested in these.

Yeah we will have to send our headlights to them and they do the modifications and send them back. I'm in the same situation man, my drivers side headlight is screwed so will have to buy one to replace it prior to doing this.

I sent the guys an email with a link to this thread so they can read through every ones suggestions. I also sent some pics of S3 GTR headlights to work off as a basis.

I am only new to this forum as i just bought a R33 GTS-T S2 on the weekend.

Heres hoping that I can join in on this group-buy?

i have already started looking online for some replacements!

Interested in asking if they can make just the front plastic of the R34 headlights outta glass.. Would be interested in that depending price..

Wow... PM-R33, you are the man.

Not sure how many people I speak for but being an owner of a 1995 R33 GTR I have yellow headlights and I would be super happy if there was a direct replacement of the OEM plastic lens with a replacement glass lens!

UPDATE

Bit of news from Rich:

I assure you the final product will not be “try hard” Honda boy look. We have been asked to do Audi and BMW LED’s on the Supra lights but simply refuse too. We won’t manufacture something that we are not proud of. We are all about quality and attention to detail. All product is manufactured here in Australia. We don’t use any tacky e-bay techniques. The glass is cut and curved 1 lens at a time. The carbon fibre is made via vacuum infusion with high temp resins and UV protected gel coat. When we sell carbon fibre, we DON’T use fibreglass to make a more cost effective product, we make it properly. We even go to the trouble of importing our resin systems from France.

These are the Hella projectors that will be used:

As for the kits, there will be two options to choose from.

Kit 1: Carbon fibre bezel, Glass lens, HELLA Projector low beam, re-designed Parker lights, HELLA adjuster.

Kit 2: Carbon fibre bezel, Glass lens, HELLA Projector low beam, re-designed Parker lights, 6000k hid bulbs, HELLA ballasts, HELLA relay, HELLA adjuster.

The LED parker/indicator design is going to be the tricky part to create something unique that look aggressive. If any one has any designs/photoshops that they think will look good chuck them up.

Here's something that I quickly did up in Paint.

    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
    • To be fair - you see the same thing for every clutch. There's always someone making an installation error.
    • Just saw this, redacted names. It's on a R33 GTS-t Facebook group. Looks like still teething issues.
