Cleared it ?

Can I have your rego number? cheers :P

 

But seriously, there should be some sort of workaround for this, if you set up your headlights properly. I think a state or two in USA have workarounds so you can retrofit (as in take headlights apart and put in HID projectors) your crappy halogens for an actual working setup. Anyone with R32 projector headlights will know how shit they are, regardless of what bulb you put in there. OE HID (even if it doesn't have self levelling and washers) should be able to be "engineered". At the moment it's adaptor plate + H1 bulb (which will make the headlights crap), might as well take out your front brake pads.

If the OEM HID headlamp setup is legal and safe in other countries it should be legal globally IMO. Who are we to question the revenue raisers known as Road Policing Command/ADR though...

Well it's only legal in Japan, strangely enough they use salt on roads and don't require headlight washers.

As well as Russia, Canada and other countries I've seen photos of M35 Stageas from.  Oh well..

photos of doesn't necessarily mean they're legal or compliant in those countries...

What I find ironic however, is these are illegal from a safety perspective (i.e. blinding if not correctly leveled), however SUV's which naturally sit higher than the rest of us are perfectly fine yet are equally as blinding...

Let's not forget the brand new SUV's self-levelling units that end up looking like a strobe light on the front of the car on QLD roads...

    • I’m only posting this cause I thought I had seen a bad review on these somewhere before. Any feedback? Would you guys recommend that if I do buy these I send em to RC to have em checked before installing. Or any other suggestions?   https://www.ebay.com/itm/114009965865?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=JDl-15yLQ8C&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=QTzlFXB1S-S&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
