nothing of the xenon light system looks to be cut, just missing the globe, the adjuster in my cabin works too, the braided xenon system has been pushed into the back of the headlight other ppl out there check because the braid is negative potential and is not far off the positive terminal of the new headlights, i just had to do some insulating until i find some xenons.

there was a group buy for xennon lights for 250 i belive, and btw all HID kits are ALL from china now, all the german makes ARE in china, they are just labled with different brands, just have a closer look at the design and u can see. if u are still interested in a set i can get a few in, they come with 1 year warranty for H1 (skylines etc) are 250 but the H4 H/L are 350 i only got a few set left if u stil want them.

I've had a look behind the headlight and I don't see anything cut... Someone care to take a picture so I know what I'm looking at? My globes have 'japan' written on them, if that counts for anything...

lol

I haven't put those globes in - those litech ones - cause my lights are fine atm.

When I took my stag to compliance shop I asked them not to remove the xenons.. lets face it, they are far better than adr approved POS.. I'll take my chances :) Went to regency (SA) for inspections and the first thing they got me to do was turn all my lights on and pop the bonnet.. (I had the lights on all the way there so they were warm), dont know if this helped or if the inspector had a big night before but totally skipped past them.. got failed but only because I didnt have an 80km/h sticker on the spare.. easy fixed. For the record, the adjustment wheel on the right of the steering wheel does absolutly nothing im pretty sure.. wtf! How would one test if it works? Oh, also had a japanese road flare still strapped in on the passenger footwell. Kinda surprised they didnt complain. Has regency gotten a little lax iver tbe years? They used to be freaking relentless. Peace

The only thing I want to know is there any difference in the S2 headlights which have the Xennon sticker/label on the front of the headlight and the ones that don't..

To me they look all the same just wondering if the reflectors are different in the lights.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
