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.

      My BMW 335i

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
