Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.

I want led highbeams already. But they don't make any to fit r32s (yet) supposedly.

also I need to wire it up so my hid low beams stay on when high means are activated.

Led or hid? Led would be too dim

Yeah intercooler is huge. Bar has been hacked up to make it fit. Interesting on the led department ... only car I have seen to run led headlights was the holden effjay concept thing and it had a monstrous cooling system behind a 20ish watt single led

Here is another potato quality picture that shows how bright it really is, very spotlight-like beam, which combined with the HID lens lights I already have gives a very full spread. Even if I've only fitted one side so far.

Looks ok. Might have to find myself a second set of 33 headlights if they work out.

Longevity will be the deciding factor, these are cheap ones from eBay. Also, all led headlights like them use a tiny fan on the rear to cool the aluminium heat sink, I have run them for 5 mins in a go with no significant heating, but if the fan goes or lets moisture in they will probably die... Will keep you posted

    • Hey guys, Just thought it might be of interest to owners of the RB25 det NEO motor, that awesomeness Nitto are in the late process to produce an engine gasket kit by end of Jan 25.  I think obviously there will be an 25det kit too. cheers, Ian
    • He is around but doesn’t really do automotive stuff anymore, mainly does commercial work now 
    • Shortly after I do the usual full exhaust/ fmic/fuel pump/ R33 turbo and still get flogged at the lights by i30Ns
    • Is Chris from Craved Coatings still around? He is an ex SAU guy and did great powder coating (back in the day at least)
    • Bumping this thread yet again, has anyone ever tried putting yet another vacuum regulating valve on the hose that goes between the turbo inlet? Something local owners have mentioned is the Radium breather pipes de-restrict the valve cover but it actually produces an undesirable outcome in practice, way too much air is sucked out of the crankcase and a ton of oil comes with it as well. As far as I can tell the PCV diaphragm in these modern euro wet sump performance engines is active during boost as well, there's just a check valve to block boost from entering the valve cover and crankcase as there's no inherent check valve function in these diaphragm-type valves. Hopefully I'll be able to try some of this out soon. The Volvo XC90 4.4 V8 has a nice external version of these things.
