I saw my first R33 with a HID light kit the other day. He was driving behind me following a fellow skyliner as you do but the lights were totally pissing me off. So much glare. From the little ive read here I get the impression that r33's are very bad for installing HID's and your lights would be blinding a lot of road users.

Forget HID and stick to normal bulbs. Do a search on the forums to find out what globes your R33 takes and there will be plenty of options.

+1.

If one side is blown. The first thing you should do is replace the bulb. If it still doesn't work, it could be your switch. Not sure about the 33's, but the 32's had a common problem with the headlight switch.

You can pick up white globes from autobahn type of stores. Some could have a little blue tinge to them aswell.

i made the mistake of buying globes, replacing wires, and even getting new headlights alltogether

only to realise i didnt check if the fuse was blown lol....so make sure u check ur fuse's 1st

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
