hi there

i need to be able to remove the headlight assembly both sides so i can fiddle with them, to get the H1 assembly bit out, and get the xenon's back in!

i can easily see there are 2 screws on the top, but is there a step by step? such as does grill, airbox, battery, front bar need to be removed?

and where are the other screws located for removal, pics would be very helpful

thanks

-Matt

is this for a s2 GTST? Only asking since you mentioned battery... Is the battery in the engine bay on Series 2's?

Will need to remove front bar and grille

The high beam headlights (the ones in the front grille S2) are mounted to the low beam head light, so removing the front bar you can get access

There is 3 nuts (10mm) at the rear of each head light, on the back side of the radiator support panel that need removing aswell

You may have to remove some things in the engine bay, like battery and airbox to get to 1 off the nuts. The other 2 are down the side of the radiator and should be able to get access.

Anyone who has done a conversion back to HIDs, what the green wires are on my HID ballast ??? ive got 12v in on side of unit, red and white to HID bulb, but what are greens ??? thanks

...never mind, worked out it is a safety circuit ie only turns on when bulb is present, can be overrid by bridging them together.

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
