Are you sure? Because most modern cars have dual projectors

I stand corrected :blush: , obviosuly they've designed them to disperse light more than a low beam, wouldnt be to hard i guess just a bigger lens.

I may be interested depends on costs and design of product, because i am looking at doing a projector retro fit soon.

Yeah I'd personally be looking at a Bi-Xenon in the lowbeam position and leaving the factory reflector in the highbeam.

The bi-xenon projector uses a motor to alter the shroud position when flicking to high beam and allow the light to disperse in a different pattern. So basically what I mean is to wire the bi-xenon lamp to operate in high beam at the same time as the reflector.

Its not ideal to run a seperate HID high beam because HID lamps take a few seconds to reach full output and their service life is reduced by frequently flashing on and off. I suspect the picture above maybe be showing a Halogen highbeam projector setup....

Righteo got some good news from the boys in Aus :blush:

Hi Phillip,

I would be more than happy to manufacture some new R33 lights. My only concern is the indicators, as they must be diffused. Might have to add a refractor behind the glass.

Yes, most supra member mail us there headlights and we fit and set them back. Or we sell kit kits with a DIY guide.

I have spoken with Steve from SAU. He gave me the go ahead to put up an interest thread.

Just trying to find a cheap pair of lights to work on.

Kind Regards,

Rich

So hopefully there will be something available for us soon!! Finally!!

Not sure about the indicator thing, I think he ment the parkers on the side. I just sent him a general photo.

No criteria as of yet, I said we could all design and agree on something. We could do something multipurpose on the side that could be an indicator or a parker depending on what people wanted.

Ahh nice find. I sent them a link to this thread so they will see that. Worse comes to worse I will buy another second hand set and send them my current ones to work on as my current ones aren't the best condition.

Very excited about this guys :blush:

would they be reconditioning/cleaning the lense as well or just fitting the projectors?

I guess it would depend on wheather it ends up being a DIY kit or the full service...

I mentioned to them getting the headlights modified with modern projectors (or to what ever people wanted) and I also mentioned the possibility of getting new lenses done in plastic or glass.

They do gorgeous work with Supra headlights in new plastic or glass lenses. I think it would really depend on how many people would be keen. If 50 people said "I want new plastic/glass lenses" then i'm sure they would look into manufacturing them.

We will have to wait and see I suppose.

I would be very interested in new lenses (glass would be awesome if it's not too much more expensive) and an HID projector conversion that looks as subtle as possible. Factory look with much better light output = win.

Guys, what we have all been waiting for!

What we plan to do is make a nice and newly shaped re-mould of the headlight out of 2x2 twill carbon fibre, which will accommodate the new 90mm low beam projectors. We will leave the high beam as is, otherwise it will become too expensive with another set of projectors. We plan to isolate the bulb behind the diffuser in its own little compartment. We will cover the compartment with a new diffuser. Finally we will make a new one piece hand curved glass lens, with a ceramic black border. It will have no diffuser lines and will be crystal clear too show off the carbon fibre.

I also talked to my supplier for HELLA 90mm D2S projector kit, complete with a gen 3 ballast and adjuster.

OMFG I can't wait!! I will either let Rich (SPINTO) organise the group buy if he wishes to sign up or I will organise it on behalf of him if they don't want to have the hassel. I can see a lot of people wanting something like this and it is a long time coming. Let as many people know as you can so we can get as many people in on it to bring the price down. At the end of the day I don't think price is going to be a concern once people see how amazing this will look.

Cheers guys.

Phil

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Back pressure is not really a function of the exhaust itself, but the turbine/housing. So the question/point remains valid. I would be fitting an EMAP tapping point and seeing what is going on in the exhaust manifold before committing to throwing boost at it. Flow. No intercooler is actually rated for continuous operation at any power level wrt temperatures, as they are no actually capable of shifting the required amounts of heat on a continuous basis. They get hot during a pul, then dump some of that heat into the external air (and some back into the internal air) during off load moments/periods). You probaby do need a bigger core, given the power level you're already at is somewhat above the "rating" of the cooler. Put pressure tapping points either side of the core (which possibly you already have, if you have a boost source near the compressor outlet and tapping near the throttle for existing purposes) and report on delta P across the core.   I haven't done the mass flow calculation to see where you would be sitting on the compressor map at the ~450is rwkW level we're talking here, but if you look just at the PR you're running at, which is ~2.8-2.9, then you have a really really wide swath of the compressor map to run in, and so long as you were making between about 45-75 lb/min of flow, you should have really good comp efficiency, with the ideal being betweem 55 and 65. I can't see the need to shift drastically on the map to get better results.

      Welcome 🙂 The ER34 wheels and slight lowering suit the R33 sedan really well. I'm firmly in the 'keep it stock, at least on the outside' camp.

      "Hybrid" is a meaningless term. I could not tell you what the vendor of that turbo means by "hybrid".
