No probs, in regard to the new globes you need just get these like i did, cheap as and work really well, order the 55w versions too their not to bright, i just went the 6000k type.

i have tried 6000 and 8000. i prefer the 8000 as the 6000 are brighter and whiter, and the 8000 were bluer and less nasty on the eyes! :)

why all of a sudden 30$???? lol i bought them 6 months ago for $60!!!! bastards! haha

will have to buy some while they're cheap! :D

i've installed the new ballast, but my globes are waiting to arrive (and i didn't want to test it with my sole working globe :P )

turns out you have to cut the ballast out, and solder a new one in (its not just a swap out job like i thought)

as the plug on the end of the loom will not fit back through the hole without having to "un-glue" your headlight.

big props for Scottynm35 for giving me a hand! i owe u one two dude! :P

got my new globes today.. put one in, and nothing.. :)

might have to replace the whole headlight.. :P

Mmm, sorry to hear mate, at least it didn't cost you too much to try and fix it. How much is a headlight going to cost?

i'm thinking i'll go with an aftermarket D2R HID kit now. ($130 + install) pretty sure i'll be fine!

better than driving around all lop-sided without one headlight!

pretty sure if they see my engine bay, they aren't gonna say anything about the headlights cos they'll be too busy looking at the other toys :) hahaha

i also heard that it "sometimes" makes a difference if the green wires are soldered the wrong way around on the ballast?? due to polarity or something.

bad news is, my other headlight is flickering now...... :P i'm thinking this D2R aftermarket kit is looking better and better

okay, took it to auto electrician,

my newly installed ballast DOES work :bunny: it blew a fuse somehow when i was installing it.... only problem now is my other one is on the blink .. :| comes on then turns off after a short while....will try swapping the globes around...!

i know :) very happy that it was just a fuse!

and i bought a pair off ebay, but they sent 1x8000K and 1x10,000K. i was dumbfounded..

so they're sending me another 8000K so they match what i requested (somewhere between China and Aus atm)

so that gives me a non matching spare. :blink: haha better than no headlight

    • Order for the 2025 model R35 GT-R were accepted from 3rd March and 26th August the last order rolled off the production line at the Tochigi plant. Concerning the R35 GT-R replacement, current Nissan CEO Ivan Espinosa said "Nothing has been decided about the GT-R at this time, but we are well aware that everyone is waiting. The GT-R will evolve and reappear in the future. Please be patient until that day comes." Nissan has a lot of issues with management and finances so take Espinosa's words with a big grain of salt. From what discussions I've had and read about here in Japan, not a lot of people are confident about Nissan's future, let alone the next GT-R. 
    • Thanks. We getting some parts along too so he will be solving the speed issue like next week so i will let you know what he came up with.   
    • 21 is explicitly the coils detected as the issue. Is it guaranteed the actual issue? No. Just the ECU thinks it is. When you say rattling, describe it better, get an audio clip as best you can if possible.
    • Yea got me coppers. Bad news is I just put them in and the car still has the light and shakes. I also noticed I hear like rattling coming from the exhaust piping right under me. Does 21 also have a possibility of being O2 sensors?   So, coil packs are good, the harness is good, the MAF is working, and obviously the spark plugs just replaced and working.
    • Make sure you drop the GTT base tune back in, and set your injectors again, this will remove anything playing up with it you may have removed. Possibly lean there as it's normally a fast transient going THROUGH atmospheric pressure, and a turbo motor would then quickly go richer as boost builds. The only worry you MIGHT have is ignition timing, as the DE is higher compression than the DET from memory. But again, you're not in boost, so the DE motor will be a lot more forgiving at atmospheric.   Get Murray, Kinkstahs, and Johnny's input on tuning haltechs, those guys have played with tuning enough in the past to be able to help now you're past the trouble shooting stage of the MAP issue
