Its hard to say exactly what your problem is. If its just a simple globe. You need a DSR H1 Xenon HID Globes.

Im selling my old 4300k pair for $80 if your interested.

If its not the globe, eg the ballast or anything else. then it could be alot more $$$ and complicated to fix.

I remember asking about Xenon bulbs and finding out technically they are illegal in vic; well in skylines anyway. Pompous and expensive bmw's and mercs are a different story apparantly. When i got mine I found I have standard $30 Halogen bulbs in my 34. When it went through the import process they took the xenon's out.

^^ his right

Ita because skylines don't have auto levelling lights. VicRoads says this has the potential to blind ppl while you drive because they are so bright.

Regardless it's an expensive price of gear, costing ppl around$1500 to replace.

Like this guy I had my bulbs and ballists removed during compliance. I ddint do my research and regretted dearly. The horrible halogens they replace them with are disgusting and are absolutely useless. And aftermarket HIDs ain't that much better.

My advice for ppl out there about to go through compliance, talk to the guys off the record about negotiating the OEM Xenons back into the car after being compiled.

that sucks they come stock xenon lights so should be legal

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
