I know they have factory HID's, but from the first pic it did still look pretty yellow. Judging from the new above pics it doesn't look that bad so maybe it was just the way the first pic turned out. What kelvin are the factory ones?

I would guess 4300k

Yeah i think my iphones camera is pretty crap with the white balance so thats why it looks yellow, but in person its very white. Starts off blue till it warms to a white. Definitely obvious when you put the high beams on and see how yellow they are in comparison.

Cheers.

Yeah those pics don't do it any justice.

Coming from a series 2 GTST to a GTR with xenons I noticed a huge difference.

Definetly not 6000k, I'd say more like 4000k.

Nice car mate! Did you take some of those photos from Marysvile/Lake Mountain??

yeah mate that's where those photos were taken. It's an awesome run up to warburton, through the reefton spur, back through marysville and then through the black spur! The reefton spur is an awesome road most of the time there is little to no traffic, great scenery and awesome twisties! I advise people to try it if they haven't been.

Cheers.

Know the feeling mate! Was the same with mine, 10 years wanting an R32 V-spec and to finally drive away in one is an awesome feeling. Had mine about 7-8 months now and it is only a weekender, which still means even just cruising into town for a coffee with a mate feels like something you have to tell people about, every drive is an event.

Hey Dan!

Car has been great, been treating me well, except for the cops. Got pulled over doing 75 in a 80 zone. Cop tells me how much he likes the car and that it looks in awesome condition really clean etc. etc. Then after all that praise he tells me to pop my bonnet and starts to find stuff to pin me for!

Asking me "So what you got running this thing Power FC?" "How come your wastegate actuators are silver colour not bronze like the stock", "Looks like the guy that did you RWC missed one vital thing, your Profec 2!" All the while i'm trying to act dumb. In the end he gets me for a boost controller and sends me an invite to join the EPA noise and emissions party. D'oh. Welcome to the world of Skyline ownership I guess. At least he was nice enough not to fine me for having a defective car (boost controller).

Hows your EVO going? Had the time to do anything to it yet?

Here is a shot of the ol' beast with my new DSLR.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @GTSBoy yeah i know it was not the "great" idea but it is and option...but i think i will stay on no BoV rather then trying to make it work with "half" this and that. But that GReddy FV2 is cool...i like that you can make it like stock if you want (and have/make the custom pipes) For other thanks! it was alot of information. But for the sound...a dont rly "like" both of them...specialy if they are loud...but if i "must" choose i would rather have little whooosh rather than sutututu with no BoV....BUT that is what is i gonna get. So for the all info i gather. In my case:  No BoV is not that bad cuz it is stock...and iam used to put N/clutch right after rpms are around 1000 so it should be ok...just need to avoid "big" drops. But i do not have the engine in the car so i do not really know how "bad" or good it is. But as i had that little test drive it looked ok. The atmo BoV should be worse car would dump to much fuel specialy between the shifts...so without proper tune/ECU i dont want that. BUT with that...car should drive ok with no problems right? (i do like there is less piping wih this solution) 🙂

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      Usually an RB20 won't stay in closed loop idle anyway. The O2 sensor gets too cold, stops swinging.

      Upgrade an rb25neo

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      They aren't, but it depends on what interests you about an R32-R34. If it's the front engine I6 turbo that tunes well with a manual transmission an E92 335i 6MT is so incredibly cheap. You can get a super clean one for 20-25k USD tops. Put an LSD in it, tune it, have fun with it. If it's the general idea of AWD + turbo and a manual transmission the 996 Turbo is absolutely much more expensive, it's less practical but it's also basically a complete track-ready car from the factory. At least the Mezger doesn't have heaps of oil control issues. And in the US the 996 Turbo and R33 GTR are roughly the same price these days. 996 maybe a bit more now that the hype has abated for old Skylines here.
