Custom Glass Carbon Fibre R33 Projector Headlights Group Buy!


Recommended Posts

haha settle down Philby! they only bump em up to around 85volts

That is what they continously run at once they are operating. Pretty sure on initial ignition it bumps up to around 18-24kV.

is there going to be just a glass lens option available? i dont want to wreck the party but people who have a car worth 8-15k i dont think will be particularly willing to spend 2000-3000 on headlights. i know the HID option will look great and i dont want to criticise you efforts but i think a simple 'glass lense replacement' option using the remainder of the facotry headlight would probably suit the budget of more people on here. maybe add it as an option if it hasnt already been?

i think this is a great idea btw and im interested in the price for a glass lense as i will need a set for my gtr.

Yes the glass lens replacement will most likely be an option. Also the headlights will be under $2000. Honestly I realise it aint for every one, but for certain people that can afford it and want something different it's a great option and i'm really looking forward to it. The amount of money my car (and a lot of others) are worth once you add up every modification, another $2000 really aint the end of the world for something that is a worlds first and will update the look of the car.

oh please dont mention those words 'adding up cost' thats just too scary to think about...

Bring on the new headlights...

Hahahaha so true. To this day I regret keeping an excel spreadsheet of all the costs the car owes me.

I sent Spinto an email to see if there has been any progress; stay tuned.

sounds good, look forward to the final result

UPDATE

Spinto is receiving the projectors in the following week so will start creating the carbon fibre bezels to hold the projector in place. They also want to start making the tooling in the following week for the glass lenses.

They are also experimenting with making the carbon fibre frames for the lenses to try and make it an easy conversion.

I don't think this question has been asked. Will the lenses they make for the carbon fibre set up fit our existing lights or will they only fit their own design. I'm sure there'll be plenty of people after lenses only. If they're not the same as our original lenses can they make a glass replacement. Either way, can we get a price on replacement lenses for the factory light assembly.

I think you have confused yourself a little bit.

Our headlights and these new headlights are the same light assembly.

Ie. You send them your headlights, they pull off the plastic lenses, remove the low beam reflectors, remove the parkers and remove the black surrounds that hold/cover everything on the inside.

Now you are left with the plastic housing that mounts onto your car and the factory high beam reflector mounted inside. Into this the projector is mounted, the new LED parkers are mounted, the new carbon fibre surrounds are mounted and then the glass is fixed onto it sealing it together.

Hope that clears it up a bit.

There is no pricing at the moment, but judging by the price of the Supra glass lenses it would be a safe bet to say the glass lenses would be between $500-$1000, but that is purely my guess.

I'll give the boys an e-mail later on tonight. I don't like to bother them to often as I know it is a long process and there is a lot to be done.

    • 99.9% of them are viscous diffs. The 0.01% are helicals. They were only option-able in the series 2, as well. I have redline heavy shockproof in my helical. It seems... fine? I don't think anyone is ever going to know until something really breaks and at that point I'm not sure anyone will blame the oil. I just chose it because it's extremely heavy duty and my car will see not-road-legal duty for it. I've also had sadness with various diff oils in the past sweating out everywhere and/or other 'fun' things, with clutch diffs. Given you have a 1.5 way on the shelf, I'd not even bother with the diff in the car and just get to tinkering with it. I would spend the $90 on oil toward the labor of someone else putting the diff in if time poor even lol.
    • I believe mine is helical and not clutch type. During drifting one wheel was spining as if it was open diff so bought kazz 1.5 way and has sat on my shelf for the past 5 years as I want to learn shiming process and do it myself   in meantime thought I change the diff oil hence post here. So any 75-90?   i am pretty sure r34 are helical not clutch lsd as standard . That is gtt ones
    • Throw between gears are so much that is getting annoying. I have pro short shifter on my mx5 and e36 and love it . Skyline is getting unbearable    would syncro issues and short shifter is no no? Anyone mind explaining a little on why before i buy cube
    • No. Well, some people "seem to use redline shockproof in the diff". Most do not. I would only contemplate it if you have badly worn CW&P gears. And no. No-one in their right mind has ever put ATF into a diff. Any normal diff/gear oil of the right viscosity will do. Whatever takes your fancy. Castrol, Nulon, Penrite, Redline MT range. Whatever. It's just gears. 75W-90 or 80W-90 is typical. I think that GL-5 is hard to avoid these days, although I think that a GL-4 is probably preferred, given the vintage of the equipment. At least Redline offer a number of GL-4 oils. If you have a clutch type LSD instead of the VLSD, then of course you need a proper LSD oil. Anything from any of the same names above. If you have a helical LSD, then it does not require LSD oil, and the recco is the same as for the VLSD. You don't want the LSD friction modifiers in the oil for a non-clutch type LSD if you can avoid it.  
    • You may want to list it up for a little higher - This price is much lower than you may realize. Here you're pretty much selling to people who most likely already have these things on their own rigs. S chassis people eat this stuff up like you'd not believe.
