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 ;)

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
