Hey guys, umm it seems that my headlight on the RHS is nearly stuffed... My car was fitted with 50 watt globes and were very dull, almost dangerously dull, so i got some 100 watt ones and since then all hell has broken lose! Im not sure what is involved in the compliance process to fit globes that meet australian rules. But my mechanic has always seemed to have had a huge amount of troubble fitting the globes in the housing. Ill try describe it to everyone.

Theres a small washer that the globe sits in, round with one side squared off for the flat edge of the globe to sit agains, then both the globe and the washer sit back in behind the headlight unit. but with mine, there didnt seem to be an easy way to get the washer and globe to lock back in place, so that the globe is properly alligned. Now, when i had my 100watt globes fitted everything seemed to be fixed... nice clear bright lights, but about 1 week after they were fitted, i thought one had blown again, the right hand side one, but when i pulled the globe out to see why it had blown after only a week i saw that the washer has melted some how around the base bit of the globe. So it probly hasnt been sitting/alligned correctly since they were fitted, and the extra heat from the 100watt globes has melted the unique little washer thingy, and its stuck to the globe now....

I dont no wot to do.. The globe hasnt blown, but i think its shorting out somehow. Has anyone else experienced this at all?? How can i go about getting it fixed? Should i contact a compliance place and see if mine has been done dogely? Plz help.... im desperate!!

wat the hell is a washer bottle doing near the headlight.....is that normal?

100watt globe woulda melted the bottle and settled all over ur headlights.

best bet is to bring it to someone and try machine all that crap off......

gl man sounds bad.....

Well from memory theres meant to be a wire clip which folds back over the globe back .. I dont know what the hell happened to ur headlights but I got off lucky with my compliance...

Neways my advice is save up for some R34 GTR lights .. about $500-700 difference is they are black!! the surrounds .. Or even just buy a HID setup! group buy on here!

Why is it necessary to post things up in many different threads. It's just stupid mate.

I actually replied to you in your other thread, but I feel like deleting my reply now.

Anyways, I do research experimentation on optics and lighting circuitry, so if you need advice, pm me.

      List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter?

      @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand

      It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
