Hi people

Cant find out what globe type this is?

See the pic

Some people say its h3, h3c, h1, h1 with a h4 connector.. Ive had mix answers.

My car is a 1992 R32 (HCR32) Type-M RB20DET 5spd manual. The headlights are the new projector shape ones, not the old n1 (89) ones.

Could someone please clarify this once and for all, as im trying to purchase HID kit and have no clue which path to go down.

the base of the globe? where the 3 pins are at the bottom? cause there is nothing there. i don't see any print at all anywhere.

does the actual globe come off the adapter part? because I have to replace this part, my light doesn't work the filament is loose inside and busted, ..

so when you buy it do you buy the actual whole piece I posted the picture of? or do you just buy the globe to suit it and replace it (if it comes apart?)

well I need to replace this globe tomorrow. and my H1 HID kit arrives next week

so would there need to be any modification to the H1 HID kit or will it be pretty straight forward to install, plug n play?...

sounds like there could be some difficulties as you said 'h1 bulb in a holder'.?

I have to agree with MANWHORE. I've purchased a set of hids and the visibility is much better than what my original headlights were doing, but there is a lot of glare compared to what retrofits can do. If your set is already on its way, I just hope you chose 4300k globes to come with it. I found that 6000k was too blue and ricey. Only my opinion.

I wouldn't say they're a complete waste of money though. The kit did what it was supposed to do (give a better light output), but it's not good for on coming drivers.

Up to you mate.

Thanks for the info

I am still considering whether to get 4300K or 6000K, but 4300K may be the way to go

At the moment my halogen stock bulbs are so crap that oncoming cars to me, I can barely see the road.. it feels like my lights arn't even on half the time.

Would the H1 HID kit fit, or would it need some sort of modifications?

I know what you mean mate. I remember driving my car with the standard lights and it was shocking. Couldn't see a thing. Driving at night while it's raining was the worst.

The kit I had was pretty much plug and play.

Hi people, i also own a R32 Gtst and was looking into getting a hid kit. just wondering that one of you guys quoted that the 6000k was blurry but wouldnt the 4300k be to bright for oncoming car? also would the 4300k look just white? cause i want the blue tinge so what kit should i get?

Go for a custom HID fit, Ronin here has done one

I fully agree with everythin MANWHORE says

I'm doing one at the moment, using twin FX45 bi-xenons, I'm just trying to work out fitment issues and a shroud

Then trying to make a clear headlight cover out of perspex, because my current one is the glass crapper with the lines through it

Do a search on "HID conversion" on the search button you'll find it.

If you do go for the HID kit, you'll notice how crap it is, especially in the factory nissan projector lense, it'll focus the light all in one spot and scatter the rest

All the hid kits are the same. They'll all give 'blurry' light. The 6000K globes are more of a blue light and the 4300K is supposed to be the colour of sun light. If I were to get an hid kit again, I would go for the 4300k. I wanted a blue to my light, but I found 6000K too much.

If I were to upgrade to better lights in the future, I would definately go retrofitting. I kind of regret buying my hid kit. It's an improvement, but.... it's up to you.

      CD009 RB Conversion

      It’s new. It’s the cd009. I did take the transmission apart to mill down the bellhousing and had both housings come off the gears so wondering is something isn’t in right. I am running redline. I can get it in gear running too but it’s just not easier and it’s almost like 2, 4, 6, and reverse all the back gears aren’t happy going in

      Got keys and did a walk around the yard planning the landscaping works with the family that I will be doing Main effort: remove all the woodchip in the gardens that are around (attached) to the outside of the house and replace with 10mm blue metal, having woodchip close to the house is a recipe for inviting white ants, currently there are no white ants within the block and I would like to keep it that way I'll be buying some large raised garden beds to grow veggies and stuff, and the woodchip will be mulched with everything else that gets dug up, pulled out, or cut down during works Next will some minor drainage and landscaping maintenance up one side of the house, where the fuse box, AC, and solar stuff will go, about 12 mtrs long by 2 meters wide, I'll break up the soil, add gypsum and then I'll dig in a French drains about 300mm deep x 300mm wide and fill it with agg pipe and blue metal, then level out the whole area with a 50mm layer of blue metal, the soil, whilst currently pretty compacted, will break up well with the gypsum to aid in drainage, I'll then cover the area with a 50mm layer of more blue metal In saying this, the drainage issue is minor, but that little hidden away area down the side is untidy and weedy, and as all of the main elec stuff is there I want it neat and tidy to appease my OCD Again, the material excavated from the French drains with be added to the garden bed mulch, as will some rose bushes and some other crap looking garden plants, and a old apricot tree that is looking worse for wear The apricot tree is currently in a little roundish garden bed that is in the middle of the back yard with few other crappy looking plants around it, that will all be removed, levelled, re-turfed, and is a perfect spot for a hills hoist There is also a area about 3m x 2m between the rear fence and shed that will get some attention, it looks like some stuff was stored there and the grass is dead, that will also get broken up and mulched, and is a prime spot for a pumpkin patch I've guestimated that I'll need: 3 tonnes of blue metal, 12 meters of agg pipe, 5kg of Gypsum, and a hills hoist, so a few bags of concrete as well to set it in place (the house currently has one of those pull out 4 line jobs, whilst it works, I want a retro old school hills hoist), I am also going to run some chickens, there's a great spot for a coop, so a chicken coop to suit 4 of those lovely egg laying bitches will also be on the job card That should keep me busy for a while, and will finish off the back yard ready for a early spring planting of some veggies and berries  Once the main effort is done I'll start out the front, there's a large rock garden that could use some TLC, but that is only minor works Should be fully moved in within 2 weeks, the landscaping works will start then Fun times, retirement is good

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      It happens, that's what your single stage filler is used for.  If it is still visible after the 3 coats of 2k primer, it will be visible after the paint is laid down.  Its hard to give 100% perfect advice without being there in person, I'm very tempted to say stop where you are, fill your pin holes with a single stage putty first then keep going.
