dont buy the cheapo ebay ones they are shyt.. i had them on my civic and i couldnt see shyt at night unless i was on my high beams... so i just left my high beams on the whole time and ppl flashed my every 30secs... my frined got some for an Audi A3 and they have hight and side adjustements so they should be fine as mine didnt have those but will have to wait till he installs them to see if they are good... but from what i have seen the cheap ebay ones and a waste of time and money... u better of getting a xenon kit...

they aren't supposed to replace your low beam bulbs. they are just a park light that is a ring around your headlight.

you can make them rather easily. all you need is some plastic rods (like the ones that are on house blinds that you twist for opening and closing them) some LEDs, a toaster (or heat gun to heat the rod up to bend it into shape), a hacksaw to score the rod to give the light somewhere to emit from.

there is a site somewhere on the net that shows you how to do it.

at night there not really that bright........they put off a fair bit but its more for an effect and not a purpose if ya get what i mean.....

i bought em as a complete kit from a local wholesaler in adelaide, theyre actual spot lights with an angel ring

looks mean as hell with the bumper, il post a pic........havnt got one at night though, im still in the process of getting some perspex covers made to make it look like i have proper headlights instead of 2 pairs of high powered spotties

one of my friends made some up for his soarer using the process mad082 explained. If done well they actually look really good. Although they are only there for looks they don't actually replace your headlights or really even give of any light at all like parkers (the bmw ones etc. obviously do cos their better). I have seen it done also on cars with square headlights and it looks gay, doesn't suit at all. If you have projector headlights (the little round dome type ones inside the headlight assembly) go for it they look awesome!

I like the idea of these custom made headlights, where are you guys buying the spotlights with them already, and got any pics of them out of the car, would be interested to see if a set could be 'incoroporated' into the standard headlight assembly....perhaps with a bit of modification.....

they look so much bigger on a silvia, looks tough though, very aggressive

i did my conversion about 8-9 months ago........wanted something cheaper then constantly replacing genuine headlights......besides its hard trying to be original these days

    • I have no idea what the power steering control module is on a non-HICAS car because I've never seen one. But it is a fair bet that is essentially the same thing as on any other Nissan of the period with variable PS. So, Maximas, that sort of thing. It will pick up the ECU's speed signal off the "bus" (there's not really a bus - any consumers of the VSS are all just connected to that output on the ECU). The output should (most likely) be a PWM signal to give you an effective average voltage between the minimum and maximum values. You could possibly look at the HICAS part of the R32 manual to see what that range is likely to be (for non-HICAS, as it should be about the same).
    • Thank you for the info!    Did you get a 33 gearbox speed sensor to have your speedometer to work? Does the Speedo work but not accurate? 
    • Took me a while to answer that.... Funny thing is, the across the river neighbour did put in an airstrip, built a hanger, and buy a cessna, because strangely they aren't allowed to build a house on the property but there is no problem building an airport terminal They've used in 3 times, once for an attempted landing where they misjudged a little, aborted and missed the trees by so little that new underwear was required. Second time the landing stuck, then a few weeks later the plane left and never returned, so I don't think aircraft noise is going to be an issue. Funny looking back through the last few posts too, I've spent a heap of time lately redoing the roads  and drains so I guess it is a 2 yearly thing to add to the calendar. Those big drains did overflow in the rain about a month ago so that is pretty disheartening....just a reminder that you can't stop nature I guess.
    • So I’m having issues with my power steering. the obvious heavy and light and comes on and off randomly now it’s constantly heavy. I’ve read through forums regarding this issue and what I’ve gather is that it’s referring to hicas deletion. That’s the problem mine didn’t come with hicas.    I’ve rebuilt the steering rack, pump, changed the bent hardline on the rack and taken out the solenoid to clean and loosen up the actuator, applied 12v to get it moving. Roughly checked the loom to see if there’s any damage to the loom and nothing. Now I’m checking the wiring. I’ve tested the wiring to the solenoid and it’s fluctuating between 0.07v to 0.03v. Does anyone know what it’s supposed to be reading? 5v? Anyone one know how this all works? Is there a fuse in between? What else is it connected to? How does it connect to the speed sensor? A resistor fried in the ecu? Please help. It’s been years Thanks in advance 
    • that's pretty good condition, those chips are nothing. Get a mobile repairer to sort it out. Nice wheels, I had white 17's on my GT-R once, looked nice.
