Hmm, I really want to put the original HID setup back like when it came from Japan, I still have to look behind the bumper to check what's there. I can see the balast units for my fog lights but thats it.

That is a pretty easy job if you have right tools.

Just need to take off the head light and do a little modification that will be OK.

nice car man!!!

how much does the carbon intake pipe cost you? I'm looking for one from US ebay, but cost too much.

do you feel any performance gain with plenum spacer?

Hi mate:

Very interesting in your Fog light set.

Would mind let me know:

Whether it is just the Grill kit or the whole new bumper?

How much does it cost?

What kind of bulb does it apply?

Thanks

Hi there!

It's and added kit I'm pretty sure, but must have been done originally as was already there, so not sure on cost either.

I do know they are HID bulbs and there are balast units behind the bumper, also looks like a wire on each side that has been cut and taped up.

I'm yet to pull it all appart and see what's going on in there.

Will let you know for sure once I know :nyaanyaa:

THIS IS MINE.

HEAD HLIGHT JOB NOT FINISHED YET, NEW BULB ON TH WAY.

VERY VERY COMMON SILVER

How do you compare the 07 lights versus the 03 lights? are they any better? I could imagine them being a little worse off due to the small projector?

Thanks

ten times better, much more brighter, (with OEM philips bulb), much better cutoff line,

it is a be-xeon light, which means both HI and LOW beam share the same HID bulb, very useful.

the parking light has been move from side to the downstair area, with a small bulb,

you can easily install another HID fog light there,(that is what I am doing).

I personal hightly recommandand this upgarde, only cost about $400,

Headlight : $250 (including shipping from US)

Turing & Parking light: Philips silver vision $70 -------------- That is to expensive, I should looking for some cheaper thing.

H1 HID fog--$100, shipping from HongKong, crap stuff, but very cheap.

man, i think just a little bit better than old headlights. or maybe i upgraded to 6000k bulbs?

I only think projector looks beautiful and give it a clean look.

btw, did u get second hand or brand new?

Ok just for your interest. Prices arent trade prices btw.

December 05 and onward Headlight Assembly is $1942+GST from Nissan for EACH headlight, including globes and wiring (no ballast resistor pack however)

Headlight body and Lense (no globes or wiring etc) is $1030ea + GST

Part No: 26025CM41A for the RHS and 26075CM41A for the LHS

Tail lights are a similar story if you want to upgrade to the nicer 06/07 model (looks so much hornier than 03!) They are $443+GST for the body and lense. you have to put in your own LEDs from you existing lights.

Part No: 26554CM41A for the RHS and 26559CM41A for the LHS

Frank, can you advise if we need to modify the wiring in any way, or is it simply plug and play? Same headlight globe size etc?

Thanks!

Jai

no modification on any wiring. simply plug and play. The ballast and bulbs are the same.

It took me an hour for headlights swap and remove bumper off and on, .

Why spend $3k, as Frank said , he got his headlights for $250 shipped each, surely even after you've got all the bits and pieces you are still well under that $3k mark and they look like they are in decent condition.

I'm thinking of doing the same, but I have a 6000k HID kit I bought ages ago for my other car and never used them. They are H4 which had the high and low beams in the one bulb. Don't know if and how it will fit in but I'm going to be assessing it all soon.

^_^, mine are second hand, I believe it is from a write off G35, that is why it only cost me AUD$250 a pair (shipped) include the bulbs.

As you said, the 6000K HID bulbs from philips only has a output of 2800 LM. the 4300k OEM 85122+ has 3200LM.

But the upgrade you did is considered to be the best choise----the best balance between color temperature and output.

It also maybe my old bulbs already 4 years old( Jun 2003-- Aug 2007), the new unit is only 8 months?????

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
