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.

      After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
