Whats the deal, I've heard that now through compliance Xenon headlights must be removed and in some cases destroyed, is this true? Whats the deal? Whats the ruleing? Every freakin lexus has them and every second commodore.

I too would like to know. What is the deal under SEVS compliance?

In specific, I have a series 3 BCNR33 that will be arriving and

complied in the next couple of weeks - and there is no way i'll be letting anyone

destroy genuine xenon headlights from Nissan.

Australian Nissan dealerships have quoted me figures of approx $1650 per unit

- so over $3k worth of genuine parts to be destroyed? :D

yeah but is illegal too. The bulbs in theSeries 3 are too bright by australian standards. They apparently use to just replce them with dullar bulbs but people use to replace them with original ones. For Some reason the government thinks that this can't be done to conventional Halaogen headlights, either way governemnt says my lights need to be destroyed.

They dont comply with ADR, not because they are to bright( they are only 35 watt), its because under current ADR they must be auto ajust and have washers on them. The easiest way to make them comply is to convert to hals, thats the reason they all do that .

i've also since been told the halogen conversion

on this type of lens ruins them - the reflectors and shape

are designed for Xenon, hence converting them to halogen

makes them duller than a normal h1 headlight

Thats true, when you convert them to hals you cant see when it rains at all, they are pathetic.

How does that work? When was the last time you saw a IS200/300 with washers on them? Or even a VY\VZ calais or statesmen?

i've since been told by another industry

person approx $1300 - still puts them up in the expensive

catergory. What do you think they sell for new from Nissan?

$1300 for what? I thought you said you bought a set of series 1 lights to put in? Just swap them back to the S3 lights after its complied/registered.... you can do that yourself, won't cost you anything

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.

      Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
