Hey guys just thought id add some imput on the kelvin rating with HIDs.I have had both 6500k and 8000k and the 8000k is really blue.I wouldnt recommend these as i have been defected for them.6000k or 6500k is perfect.Nice white light with a very slight blue tinge.10,000k and over would be rediculous for street use.The higher the kelvin the blue and less bright the light is.Though 8000k will still be 2-3 times more bright than halogens.

As with installation you have to drill a bigger hole in the bulb cover at the rear of the headlight assembly for the gromet to fit in nicely.Meaning if you want to revert back to stock you will have a big whole in the cover unless you keep the gromet and feed the stock wires through.

If anyone is interested i have a set of HIDs in my garage with 8000k bulbs.It is Jap made and of high quality.

IMO HIDs are too bright for the reflector lenses of the R33s.R32s perfect.

Here are some pics of cars with varied kelvin HID kits (note that most cars have projector lenses look how much glare there is with reflector lenses).

How much for a HID kit to fit a 180sx (think h4)? Was after two prices, the 4100 or 4300 as well as the 6000 please?

Also, do you use genuine Phillips globes?? If not, what globes do you package with the kits?

Is it $260 or more than that? Question has been asked a few times but not yet answered I don't think...

Lastly, are you located in melbourne? Any chances of doing an installation at a good price? PM me your response if you like.

Anyone got links to what the HID's look like in a 180sx?

Very interested, much appreciated, and will pass the info onto NS.com when I get the answers. We ALL want HID! :blush:

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
