From what i have found early R32's (ie mine) use a H3C low beam and a H3 high beam. Later R32's that i have looked at are H1 low and H1 high.

As for replacement H3C globes with a whiter/bluer light, decent ones are hard to come by. Philips or Narva don't make them. I tired a set from ebay which had a nice coloured light but only lasted a couple of months. Then i tried a set of Autotecnica ones and one of the globes blew within 5 minutes of putting it in. Then when i pulled it out again it basically disintegrated in my hands.

Might be worth saving up for HID's unless one of the Japanese manufactures makes a decent quality replacement globe.

ohhh dam. so ur saving up for HID's hey?

so your saying there might be a possiblilty that my globes are H1's. that would be sweet.

i went into autbarn and talked to some guy for 1 hour about lights and R-32s..

he said hes tried getting H3 bulbs and then welding them onto the H3C bulb holder thing. that just sounds like TOO much hard work. but a possibility.

i guess HID's are the way to go hey.

time to make some money lol.

DUDE....

H3c's come from any local auto store, or a rice carshop or ANYWHERE it's a lighting fitment

take your light globe out.... the broken one, take it out...

..no, ACTUALLY TAKE IT OUT it's not that difficult,

look at the base, find out and buy the globe you need,

as for HID.... GET IT.... it's an actual investment not a modification because you can see so much better i have a cefiro and the advantages of the HID system are amazing

I agree, HID's are a good upgrade in a way. They light up the entire road, but you're also blinding on coming traffic. I've got a HID kit installed at the moment and if I were to upgrade headlights again, I would go retro fitting. Much better cut off line and no hot spots at all. Only down side to retro fitting is that it's very expensive.

wat type do i need...?

i dont have my car near me this weeks so i cant pull it out, i thought id get the globes b4 i get the car back

wat is the type?

explain the numbers and H1 H3 HC3???

cheers

Chances are, you have the H3C's in your car mate. I'm not positive that they're H3C, but it's most likely. Only way to know is wait till your car comes back and make sure.

H1, H3 and H3C are just the names of the types of globes. They have different focus points and are different sizes (I think H3 and H3C are similar though, but not the same).

autobarn have a few to choose from , i got the phillips crystal vision for my 32. was about 80 a pair. you could probally get cheaper if you shoped around. much whiter and clearer then stock without blowing my wallet on HIDs

H3c's are common now more than a couple of years ago, so dont stress about finding them. A few sponsors on here sell them as well, if not try ns.com as well.

Its a good idea to fit a twin relays as well for the high low beam as the light switch sometimes burns out as there isnt one fitted. This can also make the std lighting appear brighter.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      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?

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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?
