most HID are just plug and play, just connect the power and plug in your headlight wiring to the HID's on both sides and thats about it. with brand try to stay away from HID on ebay from another country, as most of them are crap. Mu secret does pretty good HID's and reasonably price and comes with warranty.

The '8000k' measurement isnt about brightness, it's about the color of the light. 8000K is basically purple. If you want to avoid the attention of police, etc - I'd stick with 4300K. You'll also find as the kelvin gets higher, your headlights will be producing less useful (visible) light. So at 8000K you'll have less useful headlights than ones producing 4300K.

If the headlight in the GTR is the same as the GTT, and this is factory HID - you'll be looking for DR2 bulb types.

just PM DAN666 on the forums .. I bought some D2R bulbs off him a while ago and they are perfect. Not sure if he still sells them but worth a shot. Definately don't get 8000k as that's just blue and you will get defected. I think my ones are 6000k which is borderline but doesn't attract atention.

I'm running 6000K. It's not very good on rainy nights or if there are too many yellowish street lights. 4300~4500K is about right - Which is white.

I find that 6000K has a light purple "tint" to it - but on dark (country) roads I find that 6000K is pretty good as the light seems a little softer/natural.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!

      You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
