For the R33 use the BMW Bi-xenon lenses, if you do a search on ebay for Bi-xenon projectors, you'll see what i mean :laugh:

You might need two though because i think R33s don't come with projectors standard?

I'm using two Nissan Murano Bi-xenons on my 32 at the moment, still making up adapters and waiting for the first set to arrive

But it'll be 4-low beam lights on, all circular to match the tail lights :) then 4-high beam :)

The bi-xenons basically use one bulb for both high/low and have motors to adjust the lense and an autolevelling motor to adjust the height

Check out www.hidplanet.com/forums that's where Ronin_09 from the other post got most of his ideas for his retrofit and damn it looks good.

Just curious as to how you will fit 4 projectors in the headlight assy. I have been thinking about 4 but today i got the idea for bi-xenon projectors and making the current high beam a big set of fog lights connected to my fog light button! yet 4 projectors would be nuts.

it shouldn't be too hard to fit 4 :)

I've test fitted a set of halogen in there, off a J30 infinity(which people say make good HID retros because they have a clean cutoff)

but I've decided that a proper bi-xenon would be nicer, I'm mocking it up on a broken headlight at the moment, I'll post pics in a few weeks when I've got the alignment perfect

Pity the R32s have the glass covers with pits in them, but I'll be hopefully making perspex covers for them, so there shouldn't be any hot spots or glare, just a solid clear lense :D

yeah I'm having one replacing the lowbeam/parklight, one replacing the highbeam :(

And angel eyes for park lights to replace the current ones, I'll post a pic up as soon as I've mocked it up :P

but the final edition will be under wraps till November-January, depending on when I finish the car, then I'll post all the pictures of my car up, from strip down to doing up, I just don't know what it'll look like or what colour yet, but it should look wicked

Do you have the projector headlights or the square looking one's? Wouldn't it look a bit funny if there was one set of projectors in a round opening and one set in a square reflector? This is what I was thinking of doing when I had the spare cash. I would keep the glass cover and see if I could have the lines inside it removed by a glass blower or something. Don't like the idea of having the perspex going faded and yellow like R33's.

Now I'm looking at bi-xenon in the projector and making the current high beams fog lights.

If I were to go retrofitting, I would just bi-xenon projectors to replace the standard projectors. I wouldn't put a projector in the high beam area because of the square shape you were talking about. Oh I guess if you were to modify the whole headlight so that you can't even notice that it was square originally then maybe.

I've got bugeye projector style

but i'm going for a custom perspex cover with custom shrouds, so they'll look very close to stock :thumbsup:

Here are some teasers:

I've just used the stock cover for now, but will be creating a custom shroud for the new lights and getting it chrome plated

These are from a broken headlight(i accidentally melted it in the oven, whoops)

The lenses/projectors in this are J30 and are only there to mock up for the moment, because my lights are still coming and I can't afford the second pair just yet, so I'll be putting one pair into one side first off

Stock headlight shroud(with extra projector shroud:

My test subject:

Test subject next to normal lense(I'll be making a mould of that lense then vacuum forming it in perspex, so it'll be clear with no lines through it

Oh and here is a video about glare :) one the right is standard halogen projector on the left hand side of the car is a HID fit into normal halogen projector

Totally blinding ;) I reckon we should create a sticky warning peopel about HID kits and stopping people from selling them to unsuspecting buyers

I got the idea today to get an old set and cut the projector and parkers out of it, flip that upside down and mould it into the middle of the headlight assy to replace the highbeam section. It would look like parker, projector, projector, parker. The parkers closest to the grill could then be connected to the fog light switch with some fogs installed. Just as long as it cuts through the fog, then all good. It's not like people drive around with them on ALL the time like commonwhore drivers! :P

That's a pretty good idea you have there.

Is this 1 set?? I didnt know that you could get twin projectors like this.

do these only need 1 ballast per headlight?

It could just be two separate projectors mounted onto a custom bracket, but they look pretty professionally done.

I would assume you would still need a ballast per bulb, correct me if I'm wrong. I've just never seen one ballast powering two globes before.

yeah one set :)

My new lights have arrived too to replace those, you need 2 ballast per headlight, because I'm having two high and two low beams per side

It'll look damn good though and Adam is right, the cut off is seriously so nice and sharp, totally worth it for the bling factor, plus with some custom lenses it'll look damn nice :)

it means the front and back will look very similar in terms of lights, both twins :no:

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
