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.

      Might import a stagea

      By iamhe77 · Posted

      Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      By PranK · Posted

      Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Duncan · Posted

      OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
