Be carefull with the high beam bulbs rob.

I know in the R32's they have a some sort of problem where it overheats the stalk switch and some times the light switch on the dash. Causing you to have no lights.

It has happened to mine and it also cooked the silver reflective plastic in the light its self.

Hence that is why one of my lights looks a little buggered.

Apparently it is due to on the R32's at least to much power being drawn through the light switch and stalk, some sort of relay setup needed to be installed?!?!

I was quoted around $200 to fix it, so i slapped normal bulbs in.. :D

R33's maybe different.

Drifty,how many watts r they?

I`m doing a mod with adding 2 relays so both sets of lights are on when you flik to high beam(bright light,bright light).Then i`m fitting a rear spotlight so when Andy gets behind me i can switch it on so he will slow down and i dont have to put up with those bl**dy bright lights through the hills:lol: :lol:

Is your battery a GS Nippon(original battery) if so you might need an upgrade.

Veeman,

Yeh no probs.I was going to do it today until i started stuffing around with my suspension then washing the car inside and out.

May do it during the week if the weather is good(no carport).

Drifty,

For Australia the K&N would probably be better.Cleaning a filter would be better than having to replace the element.

The watts are the same as standard so they should be alright.

You can clean it more often that means more air getting through not clogging up like the one you cant clean.

I`m not sure with the K&N but with my Uni-Filter and Finer-Filter(for my buggy) i use Mineral turps to clean it then i let it dry then put the filter oil on.

I think the K&N would trap more finer dust particles than the Apexi.

Hey i saw that sexy looking commodore(JAFFA) cruising down Henley Beach Rd. tonight while i was going home from work.

Rob,

If you are after a pod air filter than doesn't have to be re-oiled, have you thought about the Trust Airnx Air filter.

It is washable with water and soap.

You can get it both in a pod and pannel.

I think the pod costs around $200 and the pannel cost around the $100 (not sure on the last one).

Autobarn in Adelaide have them.

Here is a bit of a write up on them.

      New Honda prelude at Goodwood

      Well, in the same way that you can't tell any SUV from any manufacturer in any size category from any other one, "sports" coupes now all look identical. Stand back and squint your eyes and the Supra and the 400Z and the GR/BRZ things all look the same. I was just thinking last night, when sitting behind a Subaru CrossTrek, that I have no idea what it is, how it differs from an XV, or a Forester, or an Outback, or anything else Subaru offer, and I couldn't tell if it was supposed to be small, medium or large. I contrasted that to the good old days, where a HQ Kingswood had familial similarities to an LJ Torana, but there is no way that you could confuse them, and how a bit later, the HX Kinger and the concurrent Torana and the Gemini all had familial similarities, but you still could not confuse them. Ditto the ugly Fords and Chryslers of the era. But now, a RAV4 looks like a Kluger, looks like a Yaris/Cross/whatever they're calling those stupid f**king things, looks like every other Toyota that's not a Camry/Corolla sedan.

      The Prelude doesn't look that bad without all that lens distortion in those pics. Makes it look disproportionate when it isn't. Actually I kind of liked it at the Osaka Auto Messe earlier this year.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Pour in the highest octane, non-ethanol fuel you can get and see if the readout changes. If it's dead bang on 11% then I would question the sensor. Another quick test, just take it out and run normal (in an american accent) gas-o-line through it and see if the sampled ethanol or lack of changes.   United E85 here in the land of drop bears does vary a bit, I've had as high as E87 (could be water in their tanks too, who knows)
