I remember there has been fair few topics/debates about HID kits in Series 2 R33.

I was skeptical at first and i read all the points and thought fair enough, i dont think i will ever buy HID's because of those reasons..

Did someone say since they are projector type headlights, they will scatter everywhere?? Thought that was the main reason?? cant remember now

ANYWAYS!!!

I got my hands on a jap brand HID Kit - BELLOF.. Looked it up on negun and its worth a lot!!! i mean a lot lol..

So it was basically plug and play.. Been in the car for a few days now and i love it!!

I honestly DONT think the light scatters or you can see any DEAD SPOTS..

I have seen some cars with hid kits and you can notice a dead spot, or the left headlight shoots futher out to the left than right..

But im finding this HID kit to be perfect.. Been driving around at night for the past few nights and havnt been flashed at all..

Maybe there is a difference between cheap and expensive HID kits?

Either way im happy and i guess thats what counts.

Heres a pic that comparing with my old yellow bulbs.

Perhaps the GURU's from those debate threads can comment?

Or if you need a particular shot please let me know and i will take it.

Would love to hear what you think.

With projector lenses, the light would scatter less than reflectors (what you've got).

Can you get another picture with your car ~10m away from the wall? And have it in a dark area so that the only light would be coming from your car? Your picture is too close to the wall to really say anything about the glare.

Oh so i have reflectors?

No worries, will take a pic tomorrow night!! feeling lazy now lol..

Yep, from what I can see in your avatar. If you had projectors in the R33 headlights, you would already have HIDs (series 3 GTR come with them I think it was).

not sure if they are philips... but i know they are worth a few dollars..

i love them =)

The lights that are annoying are the new ones that change colours. Like from yellow to blue.. (not the actual light being emitted, but the bulb it self)

I know the honda accord euro uses them... they always catch my eye in my rear view mirror ..

Are you talking about the flicker? From normal light to sometimes blue, red, pink?

That's from the projectors. It happens when light refracts off the lens. White light is made up of 3 main colours. Each colour is bent according to their speeds of travel. The light you see are the separate colours, nothing really to do with the globes.

i love my hid in my r34, 6500 :down: had them for 2 years now, no problem.

although the other night i was being followed by a lancer with the brightest f**kers ive ever seen, i folded the side mirror down and the rear view moved, but it looked like the inside of ym car was in the blaarring sun.... it pissed me off so bad, and ever time i tried to get away or slow down s he could pass hes stay on me.

i know thios is off topic, but im fairly sure he was using HID in the wrong type of headlights it pissed me off, and made it impossible to drive safely.

rant over :)

Yep, chances are these guys were running HID's in their reflector housing headlights. Having them in projectors(R32's) are bad enough. They produce HEAPS of glare. Having them in reflectors will be much worse. We'll see how siddr20's lights come out though. Sounds like he spent extra cash for quality globes.

Yeah.. sure.. their aweseome.. for the driver..

not for on-comming drivers.. let alone in the rain..

Couldn't agree more.

      I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?

      So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
