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...

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
