Hi guys,

My left xenon light seems to be busted, though I'm not sure. It's lost the bright white light and is emitting a rather dull purple light. Can anyone shed some light on this matter? Is it busted or is some cable disconnected?

If it's busted where can i get it fixed (I'm in Sydney) and is it expensive?

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Regards

Just an update. Now the xenon part of the headlights is completely busted, the middle part of the headlight. I know i can take it to an auto electrician but does anyone know of any place that deals with genuine xenon lights for skylines? Or should i go to a nissan dealer whom will most likely charge an arm and a leg....

Does anyone know whether it could be the bulb or the gas unit?

Regards

Just to add, the reason why this happens is because it's different to a filament bulb. when the filament one gets old, it 'blows' which means no more light.

Xenon bulbs don't actually have a filament, so they can't blow. But a combination of the gases escaping, and also electrode migration reuslts in this happening.

      Ha ha ha, I read that he had it based on brownie points so knew it wasn't going to be sold   I also am only shit stirring on buying, while they'd all be great cars, I don't need more, I actually sold one a few weeks ago. And immediately bought more tools...

      I thought you might have asked about the Honda, but as the boy just wrote off his Patrol, and was trying to find a cheap daily to get by with, I decided to give the Honda to him

      Axle back, new thermostat and coolant bottle arrived from MX5 Mania, I'm still waiting for Super Cheap to get back to me with my order, once I get everything in my hands I'll take some leave and "play", starting with serving and fitting parts, then detail I honestly think this is the most fun part about getting a new old car

      In roughly 6 to 9 months time, what mods will you have done, and how much can I buy the car for?

      Yet another clutch question

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I haven't been able to try a coppermix twin but I tried a 997.2 Turbo 6MT the other day with a single plate organic clutch that had all the springs removed so it's "for race use" and a stronger pressure plate. Absolutely miserable to drive. I couldn't feel the pressure plate weight because the pedal has hydraulic assist from the power steering pump but the slip point felt like I had to flex my big toe to control it because it was so sensitive. The clutch also shuddered horribly at the slip point. My best guess looking at the previous owner documentation is they tried to resurface the dual mass flywheel due to supply chain issues + used a stupid clutch with no marcel springs or any of the usual tricks that trade burst strength for driveability. I ordered the coppermix twin. Once it gets here I'll try to figure out whether to shop this job out to a local mechanic I can trust or try to DIY it.
