Hi guys,

heller44: I bought the HID Kit in a group buy started by nismos15. Because I haven't gone on the road with the new lights (my car has a leaking brake system), I'm not too sure how well it performs on the road. The kit is alot brighter than standard lights and the cut off line is more clearer with the HID globes.

SoFly: The H3 globes were a straight bolt on to the H3C socket. It took me less than 10 minutes to test the kit and that was in the dark with a torch :( . All I had to do after that was mount the ballasts.

They're not the best pictures but you get the idea.

Cheers

Adam

hanyou: Nah I don't mate.

When you look in the engine bay, you don't notice anything different from stock. I tucked all the ballast and cable away so you don't really see them.

I still need to adjust the light angle and see how they go on the road. Just have to wait till I get my parts.

Cheers

Adam

You can use H3 or H3C, the only difference is the ground wire. I've got a pick somewhere where I added a ground wire - it's pretty easy. In my experience the hotspots and glaring is terrible with xenon kits. I'd only use them on projectors. a31, r32 and s13 projectors seem to work fine with no leaks, minimal no glare, excellent cutoff and minimal hotspots...

My car originally took H3C's but I got an H3 HID kit and there was no modifying needed. I think you only have to add a ground wire if you were to keep the halogen globes.

Has anyone installed a HID kit on an R33 GTST?

Is it as easy as an R32 install? R33s use H1 bulbs

Adam, is the cutoff line able to be adjusted to be higher or lower?

I don't want to be blinding people if I install it on mine

Hey mate, you can adjust where your lights are pointing the same way as you would with the halogen globes. I pointed my lights down more than normal because as you can see, there is more glare and I don't want to be blinding people more then I already am.

Cheers

i had a r32 gtst and it use H1, not using H3, and i can't manage the fit the HID bulb in, because the stock H1 are plug into a cap, and you twist that cap into the headligh housing, so it don't comes with any metal spring that to holding the bulb like the GTR, and the H1 hid bulb is impossible to plug into the stock holding cap without modification... so anyone done this before?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok so i will NEED to have this sensor anyway even with Nistune (or standalone ECU) https://justjap.com/products/genuine-nissan-boost-pressure-sensor-evap-control-system-fits-nissan-r34-skyline-c34-nm35-stagea-pnt30-x-trail-rb25det-vq25det-sr20vet?currency=AUD&srsltid=AfmBOoqfxX48bW9bEwH62orcNhtBfp7ekAL0C9Ca89ySFGUiBzXfXeze Is this the correct one? And this is only thing i need? No other "things" connected to the sensor or something? I do have the wiring.
