  1. Im after a set of headlights for my GTR, its been defected and apparently the vehicle inspectors have something against xenon lights so i need some stock ones.
  2. Hey guys, I was just wondering what are the stats on people getting pulled over for their white/hid headlights? I've been reading about how HIDs are not legal, to be legal they must auto level or self clean so I was just wondering the people getting pulled over for it in WA because most threads I've been reading are the guys over on eastern states. Thanks guys!

  7. R34 Auto Off headlights Hello, So today i modded my headlights to they turn off automatically when the key is removed from the car. I am doing this on my 1998 R34 25gt. It should be the same for the gtt at least, and somewhat similar for other models. This will make sure you cant leave your headlights on when you park only to return to a flat battery. (I've done this 3 times now) Tools: Soldering iron, Wire cutters, wire strippers, pliers, Crimper (i just used my pliers) Supplies: Solder, 3 horn relays. (i used jaycar part SY4068) at least 12 connectors to put on the relay tab (you need 12, but the packs from jaycar come in 8 packs.) couple of meters of wire Heat shrink First you will have to remove the plastic surround that goes around the steering column. There are 3 screws underneath. undo these and pull down on the handle that adjusts the wheel height, with this done it should just pop off. once this is done you will need to remove the lower dash piece. On mine there is a screw on the left and a couple of bolts on the right next to the bonnet release. you should now be able to pull it off, making sure to disconnect any plugs that are on the panel. there will be a bundle of wire coming from just behind the wheel under the dash then back up under the dash, In mine it was already cut open so this is where i attached my relays. you will need to find the correct wires that control the head lights. In my case it was the RED/WHITE wire, RED/YELLOW wire and the RED/BLUE But you should check these are correct. Best way i found is to look on the back on the indicator stalk there are 2 plugs, one has about 12 connectors on it, the other has 4. The connector with 4 plugs should have the wires said above and a green/white one. (Again your mileage may vary) Where ever you decide to splice into these wires you might want to cut the wire and extend it about 10cm on each side of the cut so you have a bit more room to work with. I soldered my little extension on the cut wire and heat shrunk it up. With this done i crimped the connectors onto the end of my wire and connected these to pins 87 and 30 of each relay. Now to get some power to toggle the relays. you will need some that is only powered with the key in the ignition. I got mine from the 12v socket next to the shifter. Connect a length of wire to the pos and neg of this and run it to under that dash (There might be a better spot to get this from, but i couldn't think of anywhere) then you will have to split this between the 3 relays. you can do this how ever you want. it should be pretty straight forward. crimp your connectors onto these wires and plug them on the remaining relay plugs. When moving the key to ACC you should be able to head the relays clicking. if not check your getting 12V on the connectors and that they are plugged in to the correct pins. it should be pins 85 and 86. Check that the lights all turn on with the key in the ignition. remove the key and the lights should go off with that.
  8. WTB R33 series 1 headlights any condition As above after a pair or even just the passenger side R33 series 1 headlights any nic is fine!
  9. M35 LED high beam retrofit Pretty happy with the M35 low beam. I just replaced the discharge lamps with some cheapies from eBay and they work a treat. So much so, that the high beam (H4 halogens) look pitiful. Has anyone replaced the low beam lamps with LED types? Which ones? I don't trust all the sellers on eBay to accurately quote the correct figures.
  10. R32 GTR Morimoto Mini D2S 4.0 Retrofit So after numerous ridiculous nights driving without adequate lighting in my R32 Skyline. I decided to do something about it. I reached out to TRS customer support and they began to point me in the right direction. I made a few additional calls to a couple of individuals TRS referred me too as they had completed retrofits on a few R32's as well. After these insightful discussions I boiled it down to going with either the Morimoto Mini H1 7.0 or the Morimoto Mini DS2 4.0. After numerous recommendations I chose the DS2 4.0! I placed my pre-ordered through TRS and waited patiently for these bad boys to come in. As soon as they arrived it was time to get to work. First of all I must say the quality and design of these are incredible, but they weren't going to install themselves. After staring at them for at least 2 hours and surfing numerous forums on previous retrofits it was apparent that I was not getting this done without hacking at my OEM projector. See the DS2 is significantly smaller and shorter than the OEM projector so I would need a bracket to step up to the OEM placement. What better bracket to manipulate than the OEM. I proceeded to cut the OEM housing leaving only the OEM frame. (Never mind the blocks they came later. Forgot to take a pic of the bracket when I first cut it) At this point I lined up the DS2 4.0 and used a punch to mark placement of the screws and created and cardboard template to determine what approach I was going to use to secure. I've seen numerous individuals shave the OEM brackets as thin as possible, trim, drill and separate the new projector to mate in between the fabricated OEM bracket. I chose a different route as I did not want disrupt what I assumed to be a carefully thought out design so I ended up welding blocks (about an 3/4" long and a 1/4"of an inch high) along each corner where I originally marked, then drilled holes, and checked fitment a few times, shaving each block respectively using a small level. Ensuring fitment between bracket and OEM bezel I must say final fitment is incredible! secure and as flush as OEM. Only one issue I caused myself was I forgot to trim the OEM bracket to allow the wiring for the high beam solenoid so I took a Dremel and filed away enough space to allow for the connector to secure into the projector. All in all I'm super stoked and can't wait to install on my vehicle.

  14. Can anyone recommend a place for a cheap headlight ballast replacement? New or used? The car is a 2003 V35 but has after market headlights. Although I think this is a standard ballast? Drivers side if that matters. Pics attached, any info would be greatly appreciated
  15. Aftermarket headlights? Hey guys, First post here hoping you can help since I can't seem to find any info anywhere... First 2 pictures I've attached, show color changing lights. Next 2 pictures show when turning the orange indicator sort of goes around the headlights and then reverts back to both headlights on. What kind of lights are these, and where can i find them? Thanks
  16. I just noticed i have a missing cover for my right hand headlights. Its the cover when you replace a bulb so that dust wont get through inside the lights. Anyone have one for sale?
  17. Can someone please tell me if I can directly fit Series 3 projector style OEM headlights into a 2003 Series 1 V35 Coupe.

Any answers very much appreciated I couldn't find anywhere. Thanks for the posts on this forum so much useful info!!!
  18. Hey guys, recently got my R33 S1 headlights retrofitted with quad projector headlights complete with white LED ring angel eyes and red demon eyes. I bought a used set of headlights with yellowing lenses for cheap and sent them up to Sydney to be modified by That Headlight Guy. Needless to say, I was very impressed by his work and the results are amazing. He does work on all types and makes of headlights and even headlights that don't come standard with projectors! Very friendly guy to work with, his attention to detail is especially helpful, he will keep you updated throughout the build process and will even offer headlight lens restorations! 5 stars and will recommend to anyone wanting to do any sort of modification and/or restoration to their headlights! Here's his page: https://www.facebook.com/thatheadlightguy/

  21. After seeing the demon eyes in my build thread a user (Adz2332) from the forums contacted me to do a budget RGB demon eyes and black out to stock projectors. Thought id share the results below if a sampling of the colours it can produce. (test were done just powered by a 9v battery so with a controller there would be more options. they are also a lot brighter when powered form a 12v source)

  24. Hey! My HID headlights have started to randomly turn off while driving. It will usually flicker on/off for a second before staying off. They turn straight back on again after turning the lights on and off, but will start doing it again shortly after. Its not both lights in unison either. One goes... then the other. It appears to be triggered by G-forces/movement as it often flicks off when i make a sharp turn or go over minor bumps in the road. Anyone know what could be causing this or of a good auto-electrician in the Brisbane area? I can't find anything on the forums except someone in Sydney with the same issue on a V35 that had zero responses. Thanks in advance for any help!
  25. Hi all, I finally purchased R32 (GT-R) after a long search. I'm using it for daily drive and these are some issues that I'm facing now. -Headlights (facing too low and no highbeams working - I tried adjusting the height but not working) :I think I need to a) buy another set of headlights b)install HID. If i install HID on existing headlight, it doesn't fix the lights facing low, does it? Recommendation? Any quick fix for highbeams? -Water spray not working on front windscreen :I filled up the water but I don't get water spray at all. (works on rear window only) Is this well known problem in R32? Any quick fix? -Bucker seats + 18"rims with semi slick tyers all around + Upgrade TEIN suspensions :I want to change this car to be able to drive daily. which of these makes most this car not suitable to road? I still can't believe I own R32 finally but I wish this car to be little more to road use. Please help.
