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 ;)

    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
    • Literally looks like direct port nitrous haha
    • They are in fact just nozzles. They are there only to produce a spray pattern and limit flow. The injector itself is what I use to control flow to the 7x nozzles. My old system had no injector and only PWM the pump. This lead to a lot of inconsistencies, and poor atomization at low pressure when the pump was ramping up.
