after an L plater reversed into my car i decided to do the repairs my self and keep the insurance cash . in the process of sanding scratches out of my headlight, i decided to switch to projectors with hids . bought myself a pair of lexus es300 headlights , and took out the projectors . heated the headlight cover off and mounted the projector , installed the hid . suprisingly it came out a lot better then i though it would . i ended up putting 6000k hids in . im halfway there just have one more headlight to do .

as hard as it is , there is no aftermarket headlights for r33 , unless of coarse you buy r33 gtr headlights with the projector . they look pretty neat although they are like 2k aparently . this job basically cost me $200 ... $50 for the es300 headlights and $150 for the hids .... tell me what you think , ill get some pics up later of night views... cheers

thanks for the comments guys cheers .. as for putting a cover , to be honest you cant really see it with all the surroundings being black . i was going to spray the actual projector black , but when i put it in you couldnt even see . just took some pics at night for you guys to see ... i want to get the other headlight done aswell . although it is time consuming to remove those plastic covers , especially when your oven is too small lol and you have to use a blow drier.

More pics during the day please :) Looks good mate, a lot of us have wanted to do this mod, yours is probably the nicest i've seen so far.

Since you have done it, do you believe the high beam one could be replaced just as easily with the projectors?

ahh you wouldnt ruin your headlights , there isnt any modifiying into the actual head light , you basically are just mounting them in . all you need to do is just remove the standard beam , which can always be put back in again . im working on the focus pics guys , finally had both done last night , now all i have to do is just get the correct adjustment which is taking a bit of time , but i will have some good pics up asap . thanks

Wow nice dude!

So you don't have to cut the original headlights to get the HID projectors in?

I'm tempted to do this but I'm afraid the GTR would attract even more police attention :blush: I regularly get pulled over at least once/wk for breath testing near where I live.

    • Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/
    • @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.
    • Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.
    • Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.
    • Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
