He was trying so hard in the end that he musta let the clutch out too quickly and the hole front end bunny hopped and he launched off the seat and nearly over the handle bars. The next set of lights he congradulated me on a smooth car and turned off a side street.

was it a postie bike??

I've had my ass kicked a few times, but only by other imports, never by a Commonwhore, except at the drags. I find it very off-putting at the drags when you line up against an RX3 and when the last orange lights up you see them wheel stand from the launch and by the time you getting into 3rd they have already finished. I get owned alot at the drags, but not by Strichnine.

See'ya:burnout:

i've never been munched .. except for my friends 180... thats cause i usually never race anything i know i can't beat ... better to be safe then sorry hahaha ... i beat a motorbike yesterday LOL ... but it wasn't anything flashy ... i love beating them SS ... these days whenever i stop at a light with an SS they dont' bother anymore ... maybe cause they know how good a skyline is these days ..

Not really... I tend not to race any more, particularly now I've got my button clutch (it's bloody impossible to launch). I did have a run with a mate's S6 twin turbo RX7 the other night, let's just say we were both very surprised at how it went :(

On the bike I'm yet to be beaten from the lights... but then I haven't raced anyone either, not properly at least, so you could say it's a perfect record :P It doesn't really start to go until second gear anyway, and if you're right up it, that doesn't start until around 120. Tall gearing rocks :D

      R33 headlight relay conversion?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Any number of different ways. Have the coils draw sufficient current to provide contact wetting. Use different contacts in the switch, either by material or design, better suited to the low current drawn by a relay coil. Etc.

      Hmm, how does the R34 manage to have headlight relays then without getting excessive carbon buildup on the headlight switch contacts?

      Not R7R. Meant to type R&R, obviously enough.

      R33 headlight relay conversion?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Bugger "making it look stock". I put one conventional internally fused Hella relay behind each globe. I just pulled the plugs off the back of the globes and built new loom segments with male and female plug parts to match up to the original loom and the globe, and used the original power wires to each globe coming from the switch through the original loom plug to trigger the relays. Ran a big fat (also separately fused) power wire across the front of the car to feed all the relays. It's as ugly as f**k, but it is wedged down between the headlight and battery on the RHS and the airbox and headlight on the LHS, and no-one ever looks in my engine bay, and on the odd occasion that they do I simply give no f**ks for what they think. Fully reversible - not that you'd ever want to. For f**k's sake. It's a Skyline. They made million of the bloody things. We've been crashing them into roadside furniture for 30 years now. There is a negative side effect to putting relays on the headlights. The coil current is too little to properly clean the contacts in the switches and they get blacked up and you have to open them up every couple of years and clean them manually. I have 25 years of experience on this point.

      I was poking through the R34 wiring diagrams vs R33 and noticed that the R34 has proper headlight relays while the R33 is like the R32 and sends full headlight power through the headlight switch. I'm not afraid of wiring but I really would like to do this in a way that looks OEM (clipping into open positions on the OEM relay box) and also unlike the factory wiring which interlocks the high beam and low beam on the halogen series 1 GTR headlights I want to make it such that turning on the high beams keeps the low beams on as well. Any advice on how to locate the specific connectors + crimp terminals + relays I need? I was thinking one NO relay for low beams and another for combined high + low running off the factory high beam headlight connector. I don't really want to splice into a crusty old probably discontinued factory harness so fully reversible is my goal here.
