Got my kit today! Looks all good, i have no idea how to install though :'(. Any guides around here? I looked at the instructions and i'm like "yeah... but... how do i get my lights out? which light do i take out since isn't there two?".

Okay i've looked at my lights again. All i know is that i have to spin off that black thing, pull out the lights and then thats as far as i get. I don't know what to do next. Could someone please just simply tell me what i need to do? I only need to know what needs to be taken off, i should be able to figure out what goes on then lol. Theres some white thing in my car i'm assuming i have to pull off too, but i don't know how to get that off.

Disconnect the negative terminal on you battery.

Pull dust covers off.

Pull the wires out of the dust cover (you will need a dremel to cut the hole bigger so you can get the wires out)

Then cut a 50c piece out of the dust cover. This is for the HID bulb wires to go through. And dont worry there is a gromet attached to the wires that will plug up the bigger hole.

Carefully put the HID bulb in without touching the bulb,

Hook the metal clip back over the HID bulb, will be a little harder than before but it will hook on.

Take the negative wire off the headlight housing and plug it into the black wire on the HID ballast

Take the red wire you had plugged into your old halogen plug and plug that into the red HID ballast wire.

Feed the HID bulb wires through the dust cap and plug them into the ballast.

You will see onthe side of the ballast a - and + make sure when you make the ballast connection the red wire in on the + side and the black on the - side.

There the kit is connected, put the dust cover back on and afix the ballast somwhere safe in your engine bay.

Put neg lead back on the battery and turn you headlights on.

I normally leave them on for about 10mins after i first start them.

Here is a phone pic of the completed install, sorry for the quality of the pic.

Hope that helps.

I did it a little differently. I pulled the power wires out of the grommet so I only had the bulb and it's wires going into the housing, all other wires are on the outside. Keeps it pretty tidy...

Okay, i think i kind've get it now... lol. Why do i have to take the negative lead off my battery though?

Because you might get a big shock or you could fry your ECU if you do something wrong.

And considering you did not know your headlight bulb to your highbeam.....need i say more.

Lol, i figured out which one was my high beam and which was my headlights shortly after i posted that question. I was like "oh yeah, i can just turn on my headlights and then high beam to see which ones they are".

But i'll admit i know basicly nothing about this type of stuff. Its my first car and i've basicly never touched a car before i got my skyline hahah.

Hi mate,

In your other thread you were arguing that you do not make any profit on this and you buy from local distributor when clearly i mentioned you that BOSCH HID kits can be bought brand new for $150 and yes i imported few for myself. As per the forum rules, since you're not a trader can you please update your first post and tell us who is the local distributor for warranty issues. If it's you who is providing warranty, then clearly you're trader and should support SAU by becoming registered business.

I dont what you are trying to achieve here mate.

The only reason you get these kits cheaper is because import them yourself. Im buying them locally from a business here in Syndey.

Im buying the from SDC Performance in Sydney.

www.sdcperformance.com.au

All warranty claims are first mentioned to me then i pass it on to them.

That's all i wanted to know. Not trying to achieve anything but there are forum rules that everyone of us should follow. And you not doing anything wrong by selling their kits but just let people know who the distributor is.. nothing wrong in asking that publicly.

Good luck. BTW BOSCH hid kits are one of the best kits in the market i must say.

Ok my lights are in and working!!! Can't wait to see how they look at night.

One question, there was blue plastic stuff on the back off my metal thing. I just left it on there, but should i have peeled it off? I didn't know what it was so i just left it lol.

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
