Factory Xenon = D2R

High beam = H4

Indicator and parkers are a T10 connection.

Front headlight indicator is a hefty one..

Markings on it are E4 2FH, WY21W 12V which looks a little like this: http://www.svetila.com/en/wy21w-12v-21w-7504-wx3x16d-original-line-6288.html

Can't you replace it with any T10 orange bulb/LED?

I'ds say no.. Its huge. Indicator bulb vs a T10. Additionally, changing the resistance on the circuit will make your blinkers go fast - ie if you some how used an LED instead you'd need a big resistor or something to get the pace right

Just out of curiosity, guys; what would be the difference between the stock Xenon D2R setup VS an HID H4 setup in the stock halogen housing as far as "performance" goes?

I'd imagine that the Xenon setup has the same housing as the non Xenon but do the D2R have a different output to HIDs?

I've only had HID's in a projector housing previously and know that if one were to use HID in halogen housing its, A: illegal and B: dazzles on-coming traffic.

Would the same be said of HID in our stock housing?

From a ADR perspective...yes.

But it's not all that much worse then halogen beams stock. Ever been infront on a hilux with stock bulbs for example.

Currently in plans to do a retrofit of projectors and HID's to my M35... Just plans at this stage..

I've always preferred the Pm35 headlights over the M35 ones due to the projector and split setup but certainly couldnt afford doing the front end conversion. I'd certainly be interested in seeing how you'd get on if you went ahead with your plans.

So, at this stage, I'd reckon a set of 5000-6000k halogen globes will have to do in the stock housings.

    • 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
