Yes i have always used (°C) = (K) − 273.15

I thought 8000K was about 1100 degreess celsius????

Anyway, i dont think you should get HID's because like everyone says here they shine in peoples eveys and that means the placement of the bulb is totaly incorrect pissing you and everyone else off.

You will have to do a r33 GTR S3 front end conversion too have some good H.I.D's happaneing :banana:

Close but:

0 degrees Celcius is 273.16 Kelvin

0 Kelvin is -273.16 degrees Celsius, this is what's called absolute zero when there is absolutely no kinetic energy, it really is a bit of an imaginary state.

-273.15 degrees Celsius is 0.01 K which is the triple point of water, water is actually pretty weird.

Either way, if you were using Celsius = K - 273.15 (which is really close enough in most cases)... How the hell did you get 8000 K = 1100 degrees Celsius ?

Even then, do you think your light bulbs are burning at 1100 degrees Celsius? Aluminium melts at a bit under 700 degrees Celsius.

On Topic:

Your reflectors are made for halogens, using HID's could cause unexpected scatter. Not all light is the same. =)

Good quality halogens are fine, just get them in 8000K. But don't complain when you either crash or get defected.

Damn i suck my Kelvin rep :(

Haha anyway i originaly said it was increment of temperature which was my level of understanding ......... ? :bunny:

Anyway i am a Spareparts interp at Nissan and do VW and Mazda aswell so i know just get yourself some genuine parts and you cant go wrong champ :D sucks if you dont get 70% off (dealer priceyyssss )

very blue can even change colours unsure what they are projectors. very brite and you will get pulled over lots.

also chasing the oil film halogens. supposedly change heaps of colours green etc. but when u get closer you see lots of different spectrums on different angles.

swedish. cant find a brand

    • Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.
    • I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?
    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
