Ok, so I've managed to get the old globe out, tweak the locking pin to fit around the HID globe, put the ignitor onto that and attach it to the ballast... but now I'm not 100% sure.

So there was a green and black cable running to the light itself, with what looks like the black one having the end cut off and changed to suit a screw in. So, I'm assuming I need cut that end off and change to suit the pin connector as per the first image. Can someone confirm for me?

Next question, the plugs that attach to the ballast, where do I need to solder these cables into?

I've scoured the net for close up pics of the back of the headlight which I'm sure will answer my question but no luck. Thanks in advance.

quite simple . follow the two coloured wires back to where they were cut :)

the bulb already has power.

Thanks Chris, just to confirm... so solder the green and black to the orange wires of the plug?

That was my initial plan, but the pins on the back of the ignitor psyched me out.

Hi guys!

I finally had a chance to remove my bumper and get the head light units out......... only to find that they cut away the ignitor :(

Good thing out of this little excercise was that the HID fog light kit I have installed only had their connectors disconnected from the balast units, so connected these and whola! they worked! nice :)

I'm going to phone around locally (Perth) and find out if I can source the harness quickly or at least the ignitor piece to fix up the headlights now.

I'd like to do this soon as I am think of selling the V.... yes that's right selling the V! :( I know what you are all thinking, pointless fixing up the HID, but I just feel like doing it out of fun and to say that I finally did it :)

Ok cheers guys!

      Does anyone sell a pipe that's made to go from the Greddy FMIC kit for ECR33 (RB25DET) to the Greddy intake manifold?

      Not that I know from experience, but in theory you'd want your gate spring to be as close to target pressure as possible, so you'd go with the higher gate spring?

      Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.

      Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you?

      I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
