Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

They are easy as to install, just a bit of modification to the stock dust covers, i did mine yesterday. I have still yet to see how they go at night driving, but damn 6000k is bright.

more important question - are 6000k street legal? i wanna buy hid kit too after respray and want brightest bluest kit thats still legal

nothing over 4300k is technically legal.

5000-6000k with well hidden ballasts however isnt going to raise many eyebrows.

and if your headlights are what youre worrying about in regards to legality... well...

the bluest is like 8000k but they are REALLY detectable, i believe there is higher but why? 6000k is crystal diamond, so very white with a slight tinge of blue but they are also detectable....actually any light/globe that isnt stock issue is detectable. Unless of course that model car came out with HID (xenon) lights as a option...which i don't think mine did.

Dont take the above as gospel, search in the HID Group buy threads.

you wouldnt want to go higher than 6000k anyways. they get less bright as you go up above that.

most imported cars with hid's are converted to halogen during compliance.

Well hidden, oh noes mine are in plain sight as soon as you open the bonnet. Left side is right next to the pod filter pretty much, right side is right behind the headlight unit and washer bottle - couldn't find anywhere else good to mount it.

ive got my drivers side ballast tucked up in the corner behind the head light and in front of the washer bottle. passenger ballast will be insulated and tucked up behind the headlight under the airbox.

i can sort of picture the scene, family sitting down for their evening movie, probably wall-e or something just as nauseatingly cute, the kids are sitting close to the tv, both boys, probably like 10 or something, parents sitting on the couch, remote on the other end of the couch, and the bam! monsters of cock 14.

awesome night.

my passenger side is mounted inside my pod box and the drivers side is zip tied to the back of the reo bar. They can't be seen without pulling heaps of stuff apart.

      Thank you for the feedback bro. Looks like it’ll have to stay off the road till it gets an ecu

      Only if you do not You will not be able to drive it with any serious load without risk of it pinging, which will either slowly or rapidly kill it, depending on how bad it is.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By 677_GTR · Posted

      Hi guys, I’m new to the GTR scene. Picked up an R33 GTR earlier this year that needs a lot of love. I’ve been going through the hot side, changing all the gaskets and while it was all off I managed to score a set of -9s. It still had the stock ceramics so I was pretty happy to get the 2860s.  I live in a small country in the pacific with 0 performance car scene. No dyno’s no performance parts, let alone stock parts for a skyline. I order everything from Australia and do it myself. This means I’ll be running the stock ECU. Maybe down the track I’ll get an aftermarket set up and do a remote tune.  Will the car run -9s on stock tune safely?  I have a very heavy foot so I really hope so 😂   thanks guys

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm not sure if it will bolt up, but.... I'm reasonably sure that the ID of the runners is somewhat smaller on the NAs. So it probably wouldn't be a good match at the flange where the top and bottom meet. So that would be a reason to not do it. And the skinny runners would be the bit you're keeping, which would be a reason to no do it. You'd want the big runners if you were doing any work to swap stuff. Why not just use what you've got, like nearly everyone else who has +T'd an NA? You don't need or want the TCS throttle or other stuff that is specifically DET inlet/crossover.
