65/55 halogen is the basic legal lighting

if your talking about Zenon/HID in your 34 then they are illegal as they don't have built in washer and auto adjust

Edited by gazza750

From what ive experienced the police only seem to care that the colour is no higher then 6000k.

I seriously doubt police would know the difference between projector head lights and the normal kind.

projector has nothing to do with it

r32 has projectors standard with halogens same as s13/14/15 silvias etc

i thought projectors were the type of headlight that needed to have washers and be adjustable if you want hid's in them?

Hence why my 300c has got those functions? (Comes factory with hid).

So its illegal to replace the halogens with something like a Philips Blue Vision globe? or any globe that produces `white light'?

This one on ebay mentions its ADR approved for road use. Does that mean anything here in W.A.?

dont just replace the bulb. its pointless. my friend just put white globes in her 34 and they look after market and all and bright but arent. eg. driving on tonkin between great eastern and leech hw we were side by side and playfully i turned my headlights off and the whole road was pitch black. her white globes just lit afew meters infront was was just a epic failure. funny seeing her reaction tho lol

installation takes 15 mins.. 30 mins if you do a neat job of it.

Plugs into existing wiring... no cutting of wires needed.

China made kits are as cheap as chips and are actually half decent. Ive had a pair in my ute for awhile now.

Though my skyline is using a branded kit. Differences is minimal.

Cant quite afford the HID kit atm, tough economic times. So u reckon id be better off jus sticking to normal halogens than the white globes?

Coz ive seen a set of these globes on a S14 & they look pretty bright, not sure wot temp rating they were, the higher the rating the whiter the globe. Im guessing the ones i saw is round the 4000-5000K

those globes you are wanting are around what 50bucks?

For 50 more you can pick up a hid kit of ebay.

They will be good enough for now and certainly brighter then just the bulbs.

Later when you got extra cash you can always upgrade the hid to a branded one... and sell off ur ebay ones for say 50 bucks. So i would defiantly go down that route.

Got a link? There seems to be quite a few on ebay & im not too sure which ones r good. And as mentioned above they r piss easy to install hey??

Any aftermarket HID kit is illegal if the car did not come with them from factory? Most factory cars with xenons are 4300k. If you get stickered for something else though and you have to go through the pits, I doubt they'll pass you if you had HID's..

ive been stopped numerous times and all they care about is the heat range.

As i said earlier in this thread.

THey are illegal in cars which have projector head lights that wont have washers and are adjustable. However must police wont check this/ know how to check it.

In regards to stickering... since they require no cutting of wires its very very easy to return back to stock. It will take 10 mins max to do this.

Just keep your stock globes in case u get stickered for something else.

ive never had trouble with using 6000k hid and ive used them since i started driving cars.. which was 5 years ago?

as for ebay link

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/35W-HID-KIT-XENON-B...%3A1|240%3A1318

this one is fine. 100 bucks for the kit. Good enough for now... later when you got spare cash pick up a nicer branded one.

But it will be much better then just getting the globe.

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
