Hmm turns out i actually don't have fog lights either :D. I thought i did because it said so in my car manual, but i checked recently and it turns out i don't.

Anyway, i think my parking lights are T10's and i have an R33 Series 1?

wot about R34 xenon headlights... anyone know wot type of bulb they are??

R34 Headlight bulbs are

Parkers: T10

Low Beam: H1

High Beam: GE 9011

Note GE 9011's were discontinued about 18 months ago,they were replaced by Toshiba 9011"s but you can also use any 9005 bulb by filing a bit off one of the tabs.

Both H1 and 9005 bulbs are as cheap as chips on everyone's favourite auction site.about $18.00 a pair including postage

mate can you take a pic of the front bar indicators next time you take em out ..never seen them with fog lights in them on a series 1 before...mine just have a slot for the parkers..wouldnt mind chasing up a set..

If you can get a hold of the 9011's use those as they are the brightest halogen bulbs you can get.

If anyone is interested im putting together an LED kit for the R33 series 2 (maybe more models if these become popular)

Basically replacing all of the exterior bulbs with LEDs.

Fog lights

Parker lights

Front, side and rear indicators

LED indicator flasher unit (so no more fast flashing indicators)

Reverse lights

As i already have the aftermarket LED tail lights in i wont be getting LEDs for the stop lights. I did however put LED bulbs in when i had the stock tail lights in and they looked crap.

Ill post some pics in a few weeks.

.. And be careful even with 'so-called' white LEDs. My car had DAN-666 'white' LEDs which when I was forced through a Regency defect inspection for my exhaust, they added my 'too blue parkers' to the list of things to the *new* defect list. Awesome.

Yep for the reason shown below, something that is 'less yellow' appears 'more blue' even though it is a spectrally a definate pure white (5000k to be exact) it is 'less yellow'

than a 3000K tungsten bulb.

A good example is to put the white LED next to a BLUE one, it actually appears 'more yellow' but for the clowns at Regency 'perecption is reality'

Hi, does anyone know if you can upgrade the globes on the Driving lights for an R33 series 2. I see from this thread they appear to be 55W H3's and I know that for the headlights (being plastic) you shouldn't go above the stock 55w bulbs, but does the same apply for thre driving lights? (are these lenses also plastic?)

They are fog lights mate. And are pretty much illegal to use in 90% of driving conditions. Which is why i put an SMD LED cluster bulb in there, so now they are driving lights.

I could argue the point to the police if i get pulled over, i probably wont win seeing how the rest of the car breaks nearly every rule in the book ;)

    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
    • 8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
