I have tried a search but came up with nothing :)

can anyone tell me how to convert a H3C globe to a H3 globe?

i have good information that the globe and "seat" are exactly the same, but its just the plug that is different...

So given the shit range of globes available in H3C form, i want to get some H3 globes for my car and re-wire them to work in the R32

can anyone help?

yes i'm looking at all you autoelectricians... and other auto buffs

cheers,

Warren

I did this on the weekend. you just need to get a piece of wire (10cm or so) and put a spade connector on one side. you plug this into the -ve of the cars plug (where the H3c bulb normally got plugged in) and the other side would have to go under the bulb or get it fixed to the bulb assembly so the bulb gets earthed (bit of solder and your sweet) . The H3 bulbs have a wire coming out of them, and this you plug into the +ve of the cars plug.

too easy.

so let me confirm...

the stock plug has a +ve and -ve..

the +ve is sent to the globe

the -ve is earthed

and i'm done??

too easy, there must be somethign else...

so the H3 globe has no earth itself? or it just earths on the globe when its plugged in...?

I'm no electrician, but i assume the H3 globe would normally touch some metal around where it sits and eatrh there. skyline sdont have that, so you have to make one.

I did it on the weekend and one of my lights has already gone out :laugh: i think it got really hot and melted the solder. attempting to fix now..

ok i did it and not only did it work, but the globes ARE much brighter than before!

i used the narva blue ice i think they were called.. they were $40 from repco and were 55w, not the 100w types that may or may not melt your wiring and housing...

feel free to ask questions if one wishes

narva only sell H3 globes in "plus 30" and "blue ice"...

i looked at the product guide in repco as i wanted "plus 50" for my car :mad:

PS that's an excellent tech guide.. i was going to make one for SAU but maybe its not worth it! thanks for the link!

    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
    • Thanks for the quick reply. To be clear, when you say turbo shuffle do you mean turbo flutter "stustustu" or referring to something else? I had thought they were the same thing. When I wrote the post my intention was to say it wasn't a flutter/compression surge sound. My understanding was that a flutter sound would be occurring when throttle is released, whereas I can keep the throttle in the same position for this noise
