Ok i am really interested but dont know jack. Appreciate if you could answer these questions to help us ignorant fools.

I have a pretty much stock R33 series 2. Which of these HID kits are suitable? I dont mind a slight blue tinge if its nice just so long as they are bright and white. So whats suitable for my car?

Why so cheap compared to kits i've seen advertised here for $800+ ??

Do they require any other parts or work to install that cost a significant amount? If so what is required?

Do they illuminate better than the stock lights? Not talking about colouration... road illumination. ?

As i said, very very interested, but need answers..

Hi.

1, if u want white colour . just go 5000K or 6000K, or if a bit blue then go 8000k they will fit ur car for sure

2, Directly from factory, no need to pay for the marketing, advertising, stuff, and office renting fees for the companies.

3. nop. but projector lens is prefered but not must

4. they way much better. i already used to hid lights and now if i drive anyother car with out hid i feel the lights so weak.

Ok put me down mate...H1 kit for my R33 S2. The only thing to work out now is do I go for 6000K or 8000K, I like the bluey tint and from what I can tell 6000K does have a blue tinge to it, 8000K is way more though is that right? What would you recommend?

Dont want cops on my ass regarding xenons.

EDIT: Put me down for 6000K x 1 kit. H1.

Thanks alot for your reply bankids.

So i need H1 for my R33 series 2? Series 2 has dual headlights so what impact does that have on this? I need 2 sets? ie i dont want my lights on and half the headlight enclosure looks white and the other half yellow.. ? Sorry, like i said, im a real noob.

I read the original WA thread cover to cover, didnt notice an install guide....

Very keen just wanna get my head around things.

You dont use both of your headlights to light up the road with low beam... the outer ones light up with low beam, the inner ones are high beam... when you high beam the outer low beams switch off.

The H1 is for the outer low beams. Also you wont be needing high beams anymore as HID will take care of it.

here is that thread from WA:

Hi eric.

coz this time 20 dollars express fee is added in the price and for the h4 hi/low . sry gave the wrong price for a long time .the h4s are 100 dollars higher than normall ones

the hi/low works with one bulb

the bulb is driven by a small motor in the bottom of the bulb base. the motor drives the bulb moving up n down to switch hi and low beams.

Whatdo you mean i wont be needing high beams anymore? If these HID globes that will replace my outer low beam bulbs are that powerfull and illuminate that far/bright, wont they piss off everyone i drive past at night?

Apparently not if you adjust them properly... these HIDs should be bright enough not to use high beam and frankly high beam on my R33 kinda blows...

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
