I've just scored a IPF Xenon kit, with globes for $300.

My dilemma is that I have a Series 2 R33 Gts-t and I'm wondering if the polycarbonate headlight lenses will stand the heat?

The Series 1 headlights have glass before the polycarbonate, and I've seen xenons in a Series 1, but never a Series 2.

Does anyone have a Series 2 with xenon conversion, or know someone who does, and can tell me if the polycarbonate lenses can stand the heat and not melt?

Thanks,

Jason.

xenon lights only dissipate about 35W, halogens are 65W. so your lenses will be able to tolerate it easily. However I think putting HIDs in standard reflectors is illegal, so make sure your headlights aren't aimed too high and be careful of mr plod :)

I have installed two kits in my series 1 low beam & 1 high beam they both take H1 globes. If you do the same just remenber that the xenons take time to warm up so get a auto sparkie to make the low beams stay on with the high beams or you have no light for 15 seconds during change over which was a little scary. www.globalpremier.com have some kits, anyone for pics?

ok, why are the bulbs at the site so friggen cheap? I was asking about getting some Xenon bulbs for a R34 if the original ones are destroyed in compliance (also assuming they leave the xenon assembly in as well), and ppl were saying around $250-500 just for a pair of globes??

      Pillar gauges

      See, that button sounds like perfection Duncan! My eyes really don't like light shining at them from a dash when I'm driving. Being part red colourblind, I've found for most cars that I can change colours on, I set everything to red, so my eyes see the elast amount of colour! I miss normal gauges in cars

      bro, knowing the Japanese in  the 90's, i wouldn't be surprised if they shared components across their model lineup.

      Maaaan so many "little" things  i rly hope my old RB20 would be "ok" and not too bad. I try to learn what and what not do i need. I look at crossmember at it looks different...even parts numbers are different. Wiring and all that i rly do not know...yeah someone mentioned the speedo thing. On that yoke clip. I rly do not know what can and cant be done "custom" so that is why iam asking to know and not be suprised 馃檪  I know what it looks like

      Oh, there's also the gearbox crossmember which will probably be different between the small box and the big box, and the wiring loom will probably need to be modified, because the plugs for the switches etc, will probably be different. And I think the speedo on the small box R34s is from somwhere stupid, like the diff, possibly, so you'd need to work out what needs to be done about that (assuming it is different). I think the thing you need to realise is that the front end of that yoke is a large hollow tube with splines on the inside that mates with the splines on the box's output shaft. It is a dedicated thing - not available "aftermarket". They were made to suit that box, by the car's OEM.
