hey guys

i have stress fractures on my headlights and everywhere iv been to so far wont pass the car because of them (major defect for having HIDs installed so all mechanics are concentrating on the whole headlight for RWC...). i have taken it to a polish place and they said it wont help if the polish it as you will still be able to see the cracks.

any idea where i can get a set from? not really looking at getting new headlights as i have the xenon headlights on my 34 and buying new ones are close to $1k.

or does anyone wanna swap headlights with me so i can roadworthy my car?

ta

i hope everything works out alright, such a pain in the ass! pisses you off when you a comodore with tape holding tape and missing bumpers drive past you and you have to deal with hair line cracks in the head lights yet the commo has no defects lol

oh ye i forgot to add there will be some sort of payment if a swap is arranged.

ye taking it to another place tomrrow. hopefully they ONLY check RWC items

have you already had the first check done and paper work filled out but the first rwc guy? if so be carefull, vic roads are known to want to have a look at cars that have a rwc check done through one place and then go to another and get a full rwc, also since the headlights were on the defect vic roads will look at those when you go to get the defect cleared.

first place only did a "check" and thats all. give me a list to fix before they do a full RWC.

but all good. have found one flaw with vic roads that may work in my favor which means they wont need to see the car :P

try r34 compliance shops, they usually have a "safe" pair they use for the compliance purposes on cars that come with xenons, they then swap em back on after the car is registered.

    • @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo :-D

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
