H1... theres one in my mouth right now...

the parkers are normal bulbs...

okay thanks for that mate. i had bought H7 foj supercheap on their recommendation. Will get it exchanged for H1. The parkers are wedge shaped arent they?

the holders are yes... otherwise they are your ordinary car bulb... same thing you have in the cabin light...

okay now i am confused.sorry, I thought parkers were the globes that turn on before you turn on the main headlight. The main headlight globes seem to be enclosed in a wedge shaped holder. and the high beam headlight globes somehow seem to be matching the stuff i got from supercheap. So in a bit of a muddle mate. Am attaching the H7's i got .. havent exchanged for the H1's yet., but let me know if these are for the high beam or for the normal headlights. Thanks Steven.

ok...

here you have, on the left, an H4... kinda like an H7 but bigger... for older cars

on the right is an H1... that is used for BOTH your high and low beams... you need 4 all up...

top is the parker... you can see the globe and the holder... to get it out you have to get your hand on it, and twist the whole thing out... theres not much room so it kinda sucks... you only need the bulb part if you want to buy a new one...

thanks heaps for that steven, also am assuming that to take out the headlight globes i have to twist n take them out as I had a look, and that's how it seems they'll come out. ?? and also so both the normal beam globe and the parkers are in wedge shaped holders eh? only the high beam ones seem to be plugged in straight..

no, only the parkers are at a right angle... the others do twist out, but they are straight on...

theres a picture of one on and one off... with the one thats off, there is normally a metal holder in there where the globe goes in...

awesome! thanks for the help mate! Read all about having to toast the headlights to rip them open ANd then shove in the globes.. sigh bit of a relief that it wasnt true . and thanks for the fantastic explanatory pics

First linky: You can get stuff like that at pretty much any car accesories store... autobahn etc... they can probably even order in some cool ones they dont bother to shelf for you >_< but that guy seems alright, if you want those exact ones, they are baout the same price... just make sure you get the right type...

second linky: Xenons dont fit into skyline headlights (most anyway) which is why HID's are around... but a lot of people here poo poo them cause its a very bright light, and not very well focused... a lot of people coming the other way wont like you very much...

in the end, Xenons are 'the best' but i only know of one skyline that has them... and hes in the UK >_< they are a super bright, super white light and the cut off is perfect... HID's are second, then your normal type bulbs...

Thanks for that info! But if I was to go with the globes (white light look) would I need a set for the normal headlights & a set for the hi-beams aswell? I take it I need H1s yeah? :blink:

xenons wont fit into a s2 r33?? :blink:// lol thatz what my entire discussion has been about.... sigh.. the xenons i got are from supercheap.. they said it should fit..

Edited by traman18

they were probably 'called' xenon...

that is an actual Xenon gas discharge tube... if you get something that says H1, then it will fit...

you have 4 all up, all are H1's... when you flick your high beams on, one set turns off, the other turns on... the light is directed differently...

you need to buy 4 to replace hi and low beams...

oh ps, if you want a white look, get the most blue bulb you can...

sorry for any confusion i might have caused...

I've got the Phillips Blue Vision in there now and they aren't very white. More just like a minor improvement over the standards. :nyaanyaa:

    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
