I is the current that flows through the wires and is calculated in Amperes.

V is the voltage within the wires measured in Volts.

R is the resistance measured in Ohms.

Basically I x R = V

so a smaller current will invoke a bigger resistance and vice versa

that's pretty much all I know

in terms of brightness, have no bloody clue

They both have the same nominal current rating,.. so should theoretically have the same power output.

The I in max, is the surge current that might be needed for situations, like starting the light output. Make sure the fuse is rated to handle the max current, and that the cable is rated high enough to carry that current safely.

I think it's not really the transformer packs that make the difference, it's the actual bulbs, go for round 6500k, because any lower turns nearly yellow, any higher turns blue, i had 12k in mine, was purple, but didn't have a very good output(still better than stock halogen)

If you're planning on purchasing a HID kit, in my opinion, don't go 6000k. Go for 4300k if you can. I've got 6000k globes and I think it's too blue. 4300k is the colour of white light (colour of sun light). But then if you like a blue look to your lights, go for it.

If I were to get HID's again, I would definately go retrofitting.

thx guys~lol

i will go for phillips before i buy HID..

if phillips give me a shit... ill def buy hid..

everyone says the phillips diamond vision is much brighter than stock yellow light... but i cant see before i try...

anyway thx for your opinion guys!

cheers

Neither of those will produce good light output. Absolute waste of money.

PM s8 Gohan. Tried installing hid kit into oem r34 hid housings.

Due to the fact that those crappy kits have a h1 fitting, and the housing has a stupid adapter in it for h1, the focal point has been moved.

Expect less light output than standard, glare other drivers, and to be defected within about a week.

Go oem - well worth the money, or don't do it at all

i couldnt find him in members..

does r34 has oem hid housing? you mean the projector? howmuch would that be? with installation??

R34's have HID's in reflector housings. All you would need to reinstall the HID globes are the original ballast and globes. They should fit right into place. I have no experience with R34 lights so I'm not too sure.

I think someone said that the original HID's are hard to come by and when you do see them for sale, they're at about the $700 mark, so....

    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
