I don't believe they make 100W for the low beam. The highest rated I have seen is 75W.

You can fit 100W for the high beam.

i have the 100w globes. my high beams are 130w globes.

it does say on the warning that "only standard 60 or 55 watt uv-cut globes are suitable for use with polycarbonate headlamp lenses".

does the skyline have polycarbonate lenses? dont care about people high beaming me just want to know if i can do it without damaging anything.

what wattage headlights are people using out there??? is it safe to run something bigger than standard 55w and less then 100w, cheers jonno

Don't do it if you've still got the stock setup. The only thing 100W did for my r32 was melt/blow fuses, I put in 30% brighter 55W bulbs and they were brighter.

If you've got a nice relay system set up, then run what you want, but higher watts doesn't necessarily mean a brighter light.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
