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.

    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
