ok so recently ive been to autobarn caz one of my headlights are out, they said my 32 is a H4 according to their lil book

ive had experiences with them recommending the wrong type of headlight globe before and not accepting a return

anyways, i need to change my low beam and i cant seem to take the globes out. it seems to be factory light globes and havent been removed before

theres lik a lil metal clip on top of it. do i just grip it and rip it out?? anyone changed their headlights on 32 gtst's before?

also im prob lookin at gettin those bright blue globes. good, bad?

plz help

i changed mine not to long ago, i should of done both at the same time.. now i have one brighter than the other.

push the spring clip down and tweak it up.. you shouldn't need to rip that clip out as u need it there to hold the globe

There is a clip that runs around the globe housing inside of the lens, 1 of them when pushed in slightly & will unclip- unlocks the globe and allows it to pull out, its really fiddly to do, if you have a missus with small hands she may be able to do it otherwise just bear with it, sooner or later you will unclip it and the globe comes out really easy, its another story to get the little blighter back in but after undoing it you will know how it works

bright blue projectors look like arse as well.. ;)

i know what you meant, but taken this way I like it more. yes, non-projectors are usually h4, and projectors are h3c. usually..

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.

      Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...

      No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.

      You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever

      Thanks for the quick reply. To be clear, when you say turbo shuffle do you mean turbo flutter "stustustu" or referring to something else? I had thought they were the same thing. When I wrote the post my intention was to say it wasn't a flutter/compression surge sound. My understanding was that a flutter sound would be occurring when throttle is released, whereas I can keep the throttle in the same position for this noise
