I'm pretty sure the HID kits are illegal to use on NSW and Vic roads. With HID kits installed in a R33, the light will be blinding on coming traffic. I've got some installed on my R32 which has projectors and I would have to say it's a pretty good improvement. I wouldn't recommend using HID kits on an R33.

Hope that helps.

Cheers

okay thanks for that... you reckon the xenon 100W halogen lamps wont melt the headlight lenses?

Not too sure about the 100W globes mate. Never used it personally. I've heard of quite a few people using it with no problems and quite a few people having problems.

Another path you can take is to do a retrofit. You can buy a whole kit off hidplanet.com. It includes original philips ballast and globes. I wanted to do this but I just need a quick and cheap upgrade.

Cheers

oh they arent? Damn i was on the lookout for a cheap upgrade as well.. and since HID's are not legal then the stuff from hidplanet doesnt make sense either.. sigh.. the things is I got 55W phillips globes on now and they aint way too bright and wayy too yellow for my liking. Ive heard that the phillips blue vision doesnt serve the purpose either

i got some narva globes - they are a better upgrade for a cheap price. Runs for 6 months to a year. Some people had problems with HIDs on the R33 or something - im not sure, u might have to search on this though

Hi there,

I have hids in my car i didn't install them they were already on the car when i bought it, I really like the way they light up road signs and the white lines on the road.

I have no idea on what rating they are like 4300 or 6000, but i understand how much glare there is to annoy other drivers, I am thinking of removing them and using plus 50 globes as i have them for the high beam, but not sure weather i can rewire them i can see the origional wires, do i use the plug for the hid and join it to those wires?

Anyway here are a few pics enjoy.!

:(

every 33 I have seen with HIDs looks like arse. They are blinding and light is going everywhere. if you have HIDs in your r33 i'd strongly advise not coming up to say high to me.

plus 50's well not looks like the best option.. where did you buy urs from?

got mine from a local auto shop - CarBitz on blackburn road in syndal, Vic. A pack of 2 was i think $40 or something. I believe the one i got was "artic blue" (h1 55W).

Edit - i was looking at my bros s2k lights the other night, and its no where near as bright or dispersed as xraiders hids. Perhaps custom instals are not a good idea - maybe compare what its like with a gtr (i believe they come with standard xids/hids)

From the looks of your pictures I would have to say that they're either 6000k or even 8000k.

If you want to install halogen globes, you have to take out the ballast resistor which is connected to your HID bulbs. The original wires should run into the ballast then the ballast to the HID globe if you're running the HID kit. If you want to install halogens, unplug the original wire from the ballast and connect the new globe to that.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for that ive had a look and that sounds about right, i'm gonna put those plus 50 globes in i have them in the high beams and they are much better than the normal ones.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
