Osram 4000K W5W LED with Philips 85122 bulbs.

Hey Niz,

Are these the exact options you selected for your retrofit?

Loved how yours looked, planning on doing this to my projectors.

Cheers in advance dude.

Yep same projectors and D2S bulb. I used a different ballast (a fast start one from eBay) and made my own harness. Don't need sealant as I used to existing one (just re-melt), but it's probably a good idea to get the sealant if you scraped off the old sealant.

Did you post details on the ballast already? I would be interested - finally going to get the lights sorted (possibly halos). Nice timing with the lesser Aussie dollar which is my loss.

Did you also use an E46 shroud of some sort?

No shrouds.

In my GT-R I have IIRC these ones.

OEM is obviously better, but these are quite good for aftermarket, reliable as well. I tried some cheaper 'Hylux' or 'Hyluxtek' ones from ebay, they were noisy and weren't as quick as the one above.

Ah - thought the Morimoto XB35 ballasts were instant on as well? What's burning time to get full output?

Does choosing a more powerfully rated Ballast make a difference to setup? They have the option for Morimoto 50W ballasts - but all I can think of is more efficiency rather than anything truly meaningful.

Anyone here use the Osram Xenarc CBI (5K or maybe 5.5K) - just white and bright apparently. Scared to try because of brightness and the fact that it does cost a fair bit.

No idea of their new stuff, but the old Morimotos weren't quick, took like 15-20 seconds. Build quality is pretty good though.

I'm guessing their newer stuff with the separate igniters make them quicker.

Stick with 35W ballasts, don't need any more than that. The higher wattage ones burns the bulbs brighter (hence burns them out faster).

There is an existing thread for installation of Morimoto Mini D2S 4.0 so I won't go into that, but here's Mini D2S 3.0

Instead of trimming the 'bracket', I'll use a 'spacer', which also will bring the projector slightly forward (a good thing).

Are you trying to squeeze that into the R32 headlight body?
If so, I'm bloody impressed and will look awesome if you can make it work.

 

Sorry this is in an R34, but this was the only update retrofit thread i saw :30_no_mouth:

 

Can remove if you guys only want this R32 specific

How are people ensuring that the lights are at an appropriate level and not blind other drivers?

 

Mine looks ok close but steps up when far? Not sure if normal or not?

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
