hey guys i was wondering if anyone could help me..

awhile back i installed Xenon's into my car to replace the normal headlight globes, and

due to a smash i had, the panel beaters i took it to got s2 lights on my s1 r33, which look great.

but there is one problem, when i first installed them one of the lights where way to high and blinding

on coming traffic, which is funny, but dangerous.. so i thought i fixed it, but im still getting a flash every now and

again..

my question is how do i adjust them? there is 3 knobs i can turn, but one is for the high beams,

and the other 2 i dont know what they do and one is a real pain in the ass to get to.

so does any one know which knob i should be turning in order to lower my headlights?

thanks.

Try adjusting the ones that are a pain in the arse to get to. They're usually the ones that adjust your headlights.

When you say you installed 'xenon's' do you mean HID lights? If you did, that'll be the reason everyone's flashing you right there. Have a search about HIDs into R33's reflectors to find out why.

Occassional flashes nowadays mean 3 things

1. You're lights are too high.

2. You're lights are too bright.

3. You're giving you the 'heads up' for nearby cops.

So yeah, could be either one dude!

for the gap.. there is none... since i smashed the front of my car.. the whole front n bonnet got replaced lol, all through insurance, total for the repair for my car was 5,000 lol

if i need bulbs ill pm you straight away .. thanks man :)

lol dont think its the coppers, coz then i get an evil stare when i drive past them lmao. i'm going

to take it to an auto electrician when i've got some spare time, see wtf i can do :D

i'll post a pic up of them tonight :)

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
