Hey Guys,

I was just wondering wat HID should i be using for my HI BEAM

H? ????K ??W (the brighter the better!!)

I currently purchased a V35 not to long ago and it came with HID's already

but where i live has no street lights and alot of kangaroos and rabbits,

so when i turn on the hi beams it does work but u cant even see the difference

as the low beams a just so bright...

Guys i need some help quick before i hit a kangaroo and write off my baby!!!

Had a few too close for comfort encounters already.....

Hi Aaron, there is already a tread about V35 HID.

Have a read and maybe it might help your question. High beams in stock headlights are pretty ok at night. Just have to drive abit careful around that area, I think.

Good luck.

That only helps half...or maybe a little of his question.

if 2003-04 models all i know is main lights are H1 fogs are H4. stick with 6000k or less as higher K will emit less light. the high beams works from the H1s so make sure you get a genuine phillips bulb or equivalent so that the main and high beams are both bright.

reason being as before i spent only $200 on my H1 HID from ebay and ending up with 6000k but the high beam was yellow...fail.

Adding a 6000 k hi beam wud def make a difference however id prob go around 5000k. As u actually get more light.

With the wheels 20s r fine. Xtc has 20s and also one or 2 oders dat ul c at the cruise have 20s. my 20s are arriving shortly as well. However that offset of +35f and +40R is not wat u shud get IMO . try going more towards the +20-22 mark or bit lower front and rear . Otherwise they wont sit very flush and wont look guud.Also u have to consider the diameter of the wheels. Il explain this to u at the cruise iv made the same mistake as u wid my wheels and have learned by dat mistake :P

    • You know what, I am enjoying your updates, but I have to say it is pretty poor form to walk into a shop that is paying for space and stock on the floor, try all their seats to work out what you are happy with, then buy somewhere else. If everyone did that the shop will be out of business with no opportunity for anyone to try a seat before buying. 👎  
    • Good work, and thanks for posting up your solution for future people!
    • Yeah mate that’s the plan, I just want something I can have fun in and work on during weekends.  There’s really only 1 road fit to drive the car on and luckily is been redone recently.  I do want to tune it next year sometime, no dynos here so I’m looking at an ECU that can be remote tuned. 
    • Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA
