Hey guys, anyone in sydney want to or know someone who will install the Xenon light on mine for a fee? i just dont have the time or knowledge to do it... thanks :D

+1 to that. Also want them and wouldn't mind a recommendation based on experience.

Was just about to reconnect my xenons together when it unfortunately looks as tho they've cut the wires to close to the loom, my problem is i'm not too electrically minded and the only way i see to re connect them is to splice them (wires being too short i can't) is there any way I can get some sort of spacer to crimp on the ends so it gives me a bit more room.

Much appreciated if anyone can help cos I really want to get these going.

I am a bit of a noob in lights... I want to get HIDs from the group buy at http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Hi...y2-t242766.html

Now, question I've been asked, is what type of a bulb I have. Is it correct to say it is H4?

Do I need to specify anything else so it can be fitted into the V35? Or it wouldn't work? (I do want to keep my fog lights etc as it is)

Any help in helping a lights noob would be appreciated :D

I don't think so. I am pretty sure the guy who complied it took it out, because he resells them to other cars. So I'll need an HID ballast too I gather?

I am thinking low beam (the normal driving lights). I don't really use high beam much. I just want my car to have a more prestigious look when the lights are on.

If your headlight is 2003 model, Low beam will be D2S, High beam/fog will be H4.

Ah, cool. So I have to get a D2R bulb with an HID ballast? Someone mentioned to me that it is H1 bulb... That's not right, right? Everyone refers on these forums to D2R. How come are fogs and high beams the same? They are different lights, thought would be different bulbs also... And also, I've read that people started to have their fogs turn on at the same time as parkers etc - that's due to bad wiring right? Not because of the HID kit?

For 2003, the HIDis D2R, FOG and High beam is same buld which is H4--you know that H4 is a double light, right?

For 2006, The HID is D2S, Fog is H1, High beam stay with HID as be-xion.

Fog/ Driver light has it own wire. So if it on together with parkers, will be a wrong wire.

I need help, I got myself the original HID Ignitor (which is the cable from the ballast to the D2R bulb, Mine was cut off), when I was converting it back from H1 to HID. I accidentally plug in reverse polarity to the Original Ballast on my right side of my HID, I believe something blew, but using my left side, I did a check on the ballast & Bulb, it worked (Lucky me). Anyone knows where is the fuse for the HID or any other remedies?

wish you had brought them in when I was down there last. I had the front off the car to do the cruise control. drop the front off when you do it and watch the drivers light as the cruise unit is below it.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
