I don't know much about HIDs. Can someone who does have a look at this link and let me know if they look ok, or do you know a better place to get them.

Is this a good price?

Is there anything I need to look out for when buying HIDs

hey that's a good price

I agree with Busky you will loose lux with higher frequency and the light colour will also change.

BTW do you guys know what type of bulb I need for my R32GTR 93 Vspec model? I wouldn't mind getting a set as my eyes are not that good at night.

I bought some off a group buy on NS.com about a year back for $280. They are 6,500k and are superb. I had them in my S15 and now have them in my R34. If you have one ounce of tech knowledge and electrical sense install them yourself - easy job. The standard S15 lights absolutely suck ass - you won't even know the car with HIDs installed - makes it a joy to drive at night.

I believe the ones I have are cheap Chinese units, but have been flawless for around a year now. I think with these cheaper units (like I have), when you blow a globe you throw the whole kit away, as replacements would be very exxy and near impossible to find (not too sure though). But HID globes are supposed to last 5x times longer than normal globes anyhow. Keep in mind HIDs are illegal unless you have self-levelling and washing capabilities, but I don't and have never had a problem.

DO IT, highly recommended!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.

      The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.

      Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.

      @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
