Drift,

I think I may

I need more power.

My battery went flat too , could not start the car this morning. Need a more powerful battery, the Jap high beam bulbs I put in must use to much power for the standard battery.

[Guest sir_GTR]

its your high powered leeching MP3 & speakers

Rob...a bluebird?... Ummm :confused:

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..

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.

Joel:

Yikes $200

They seem to work ok , car also already had the low beam ultra whites in it when I got the car and seem to be ok so far.... fingers crossed.

Andy:

Yep a bluebird, was pretty crazy, it took off , instant sideways, prob is I lauched and just sat there wheelspinning (damn stuffup launch, so i didnt even move, then it popped out of first gear... so went ahh well stuff it... they were little **** heads too, throwing abuse around , in was so tempted to get out of the car and beat the **** out of the loud mouthed passenger.. will prob do it if i see him again actually.

Bugalugs:

Hey dude an chance of u documenting your install?

Sounds like a reallygood idea.. wouldnt mind pinching it if u dont mind of course

[Drift Spec]

Andy I think I may have to get the Apexi power flow, after reading that site you posted about the tests that seems the best, plus no maintence or cleaning.

[Bugalugs]

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.

How do you clean the filter?

What is the advantage of K&N over Apexi's?

[Bugalugs]

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.

[Drift Spec]

Good call bro, I will go one of them for sure. Will get tim to do that at same time.

Tune, POD and fuel bleed.

Whenever I can find time.

[Guest sir_GTR]
