wat dan means by hitting it is the cover on the back of the headlight there is a cover togain access to the bulb and it has a tag that sticks out and nissan puts a torx bit screw in the way to stop the cover from beign undone. just undo the screw and then you can undo the cover. i think from memory the screw is a tamper proof torx bit.

I installed those 6000k's that Dan was selling and they look superb. They don't look blue at all and haven't attracted any unwanted attention at all.

I do find however that I had to lower the level of the headlights to the lowest settings (my 34 has that level adjuster knob under the steering wheel) On middle setting I was getting flashed by oncoming traffic so hmm .. but that was same day as I cleaned my headlights so might have had something to do with that and not the new globes. Either way even on lowest level setting they look great and put out good light.

Hi All,

I have recently got a new set of 6000K bulbs from Dan and they look the goods! Quality light output.

Delta Force you mentioned above that you had to lower your headlight adjustment. I need to do the same in my R34, however on the lowest setting on the in car adjustment my lights are still very high and I get flashes from oncoming traffic.

I have adjusted the screws on the top of the headlight unit itself, this has made little difference. Also the right headlight is sitting higher than the left. Is there any other way besides the above that I can move my headlights to face down a little more? Has anyone else had the same problem? Is it a common problem with R34's? Not real keen on taking the front of the headlight off with a heatgun....

Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers - Kyle

Kyle, yep I've got no idea about why your height adjust isn't moving much, on my car at 1.5m distance to a wall I get a full 75mm drop from the high to the low setting, so on the road you ca imagine this is a marked change in distance.

Is the adjustment motor making a good bit of noise when it works, or does it sound like it may be sticking?

Sorry to dredge up an old thread, but I would like to know if there is a significant difference between the brightness of light produced between the 6000K and 8000K bulbs. My stock bulbs are terrible and I think it is time to replace them before they become too dull and a safety hazard.

Would also be curious to know if anyone has installed a 6000K in one headlight and a 8000K in the other to show the difference in colour and brightness?

Is it correct that the Higher you go in Kelvin the less light lumens you get? So the less actual light?

As for standard, I live in the country, no street lights at all out my way and when driving my Stagea at night I never use high beam, so standard "should" be fine for most people.

      New lightweight, square wheel/tyre combo for the E90

      What type of track driving will you be doing?  Do you have a set of class rules you need to abide by that will limit your rim / tyre width?

      New lightweight, square wheel/tyre combo for the E90

      By PranK · Posted

      I've been reading a lot lately about unsprung weight and how beneficial it can be to reduce it for driving on the track, given my semi's only have another day or two in them I am throwing around the idea of some lighter wheels and a square set up. I have 265/35/19's and 245/40(?)/19 Federal 595's at the moment. The wheels and tyres are super heavy. I looked up my wheel weight online and got 14.5kg naked. Not sure if this was 8.5 (front) or 9 (rear) but that's a lot. I have also been reading about the benefits of a square setup. Much better rotation and potentially less understeer.  When I throw these together I'm thinking about a 17x9 or 18x9 square (preferably under 10kgs per wheel) with 245 or 255's. I can get some cheap 17x8.5 BMW M Sport wheels, they weight 10.5 kg's each but at 8.5 wide could probably only get 245's on them? I know they come with 255's from factory but semi's are a bit chunkier. Otherwise it will be aftermarket wheels in a 9" width. Most of the other BMW wheels are heavy unless you pay a squillion dollars for some M wheels.  Although, the E46 M3 Style 67's could be good but I'd have to buy 2 sets to square them up.  My car has a tickle over 400hp and about to put an LSD in also, is 245 a little thin for a square setup? It kinda feels that way to me. Also, is there any tangible benefit to having 18's over 17's? Is the footprint demonstrably bigger? From those of you who went to light(er) wheels after heavy buggers, did you notice it much?

      RB26dett R33 gtst swap

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Start with the R32 GTR wiring diagram. The ECU is essentially the same, so the pinouts are good. The details around ECCS relays, etc might differ a little bit, but the reality is that you need to get ignition power to kick the ECU so it powers up the ECCS relay which brings the rest of the ECU up. This also gives power to the other circuits that are needed to make the engine run, like the ignition coils, etc. All of this is visible on the R32 diagram and should give you a strong guide, even if it's not quite the same as the R33. As to specifics - I'm pretty sure no-one can help you from afar, as there is no way to know what mistake or omission has been made in connecting stuff up. It always turns out to be "LOL, I shorted something and an entire wire vanished out of the loom", or "We never connected X or Y main connector", or "shit, you mean I need to have that fuse installed?".

      hahahaa @GTSBoy that is my last resort. Like use a cardboard and cut it using the indicator as a reference. But I was winging my luck to see anyone had a spare bumper because drawing the outline off the hole is always easier and less chance of mucking it up
