have any of you guys ever seen altezza lights for skylines?

im putting in projector lenses for my headlights, but its going to be a manual job, of using either vx commodore lenses or another kind. i dont want the lense to be too small as the larger the gap around will have to be. should make the xenon's look twice as good and light up more road than street signs and ambo's, but i can see a cop from 500m away.

apparently r33 series 2 GTR had xenon lights had the projector, but they're hard to come buy at a decent price, e.g. 400+ per light.

any comments would be appreciated.

and do you think they would look any good?

VIVA Garage have some clear tail lights, not too sure on the price, thinking about $800, havn't seen too many sets of them around! I would buy them but i have better mods to worry about than lights(the GO GO GO GO fast bits).

well the first thing people notice is with their eyes and ears so i thought cosmetics would be a good start.

also may make the car look newer, as the lights make the car look aged.

Well i picked up a right side damaged holden headlight from claridge, and am in the process of fitting the projector lense to the Skyline headlight. will post some picks up along the way.

need to order another HID set as the Holden takes a H11 globe.

so when they arrive, its all a matter of pulling apart the nissan headlight, using the existing silver surround of the holden lense and cutting it to fit into the low-beam of each headlight. its a pretty similar fit so should look good.

ive started the right side and ill let you know how it goes.

well its only labour. im using holden vy series lights and basically cutting the surround down to size. then u melt your healidht, unscrew the existing surround and fit this one in with a few cuts.

you could do it with any projector lense headlight, but it depends how neat u want it.

im getting the parts for free from a crash repair, and it looks like a 100grand merc when its at a set of lights.

replacement cost of the holden headlights is 360 each to buy so depends how much u want it, otherwise u have to wait for a crash repairer to get some. im still waiting for the left side to finish.

but u do need H11 globes @ 45 each otherwise a H11 HID kit at around 350-400

    • Is the 650rpm idle on the rb25det neo for stock cars only? I've never had my car before and after tuning it to idle at 650rpm when cold. Always idle's cold around 1100rpm, and then drops to about 900-950rpm. I've heard the r33 gtst's idle there.

    • Hi all, I’m currently running a str pipe hi low hks exhaust and downpipe. Was wondering if I change out muffler to a titanium one will it change the sound of the exhaust? Plus I have always liked the look of the titanium pipes … anyone have recommendations to one?    side note already have titanium intake pipes. 
    • I looked up my other car that is a R33 GTST series 1.5. Anyone able to confirm what a Aero Form Bumper is?     (1G) 2 Door Coupe; (2GK + 11V) RB25DET; (4B) 2WD HICAS; (7F) 5 Speed Manual; (14G) Super Fine Hard Coat; (15U) Large Rear Spoiler + Aero Form Bumper + Rear Wiper (Aero Selection)
    • Ha ha, all good! I've almost caved in and realised I'm buying one.  I know myself well enough by now that I will start chasing ADHD butterflies half way through building it and not finish it so I'm better off spending the extra money buying one instead of making one just so I can get into straight away.  I would very much enjoy making one as fabrication is probably a strength and definitely a passion but I don't want that to be at the detriment to the car I'm ultimately building it for! There's some pretty good ones around for ~$1100 at the moment so I think I'll just go that way.  At the end I sell it or as mentioned, get another project to make further use of it! Thanks gents.
