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.

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
