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

    • Yeah pretty impressive hey, good to see quality products not over-shooting their prices. That's what drew me to buy the hypergear turbo, just a shame I've never got the chance to see it in action
    • Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand. 
    • Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!
    • I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
