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 ;)

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
