I put some of those Philips vision plus 50% more light bulbs in last night, they seem a bit better.. (not as good as a HID setup tho :D )

~$40 from autobarn - they didn't have osram - who has osram locally?

I need some of the sidelights now - what type/where can i get those from?

Hehe, not as good as a HID setup, but also less expensive!

If you're thinking of tracking down the Osrams, don't bother, they'll be almost exactly the same, as the Auto Express review said.

I don't know what type sidelights are used in a Skyline, does it say in your car's manual? Is there anything wrong with the way your sidelights look now?

Except that LG Electronics does not make light bulbs.

Further searching reveals that the MegaLight name is usually associated with Tungsram, which is a General Electric owned company in Hungary.

Yeah on the Box it has the little GE logo, I got given 2 set of these from my bro in law who works at a place that imports all kinds of electronic stuff, including bulbs, here in brissie.

Anyway, I'd never seen these before ever, but DAMN they are bright, had them in 3 months now, very happy, I'd rather have that slightly bluish tinge just for the reasons of I reckon blue lights up everything better plus less glare on oncoming drivers, I always wave to cars that have these to thank them for having them, less glare on my eyes = good :D

I dunno how much they cost, but they are friggin bright, as mindflux knows :D but I can PM out the contact details for the company my bro in law works for and you can contact them yourselfs if you are interested.

Prolly no where near as good as all that HID stuff as they are just bulbs and fit into the standard R33 that I have, but WOW, I never seen bulbs that were that bright before :)

ferni you really should have spent extra and bought the crystal visions. at the same time ask for the AAA LED park lights with the spread beams in white. if you need part numbers let me know but thats the setup i did and far better than the vision plus stuff. the park lights (side lights) are just real common push on globes.

btw how did the group buy go. if you are interested in HID stuff try american ebay they are cheap, they also have the piaa globes cheap too.

The group buy never went ahead

And yes American ebay was the place where we were going to do the group buy..through one of the suppliers on their..

For every 10 bought he was going to knock $5 to $10US of each pack :thumbsup:

    • Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.

    • This is how I last did this when I had a master cylinder fail and introduce air. Bleed before first stage, go oh shit through first stage, bleed at end of first stage, go oh shit through second stage, bleed at end of second stage, go oh shit through third stage, bleed at end of third stage, go oh shit through fourth stage, bleed at lunch, go oh shit through fifth stage, bleed at end of fifth stage, go oh shit through sixth stage....you get the idea. It did come good in the end. My Topdon scan tool can bleed the HY51 and V37, but it doesn't have a consult connector and I don't have an R34 to check that on. I think finding a tool in an Australian workshop other than Nissan that can bleed an R34 will be like rocking horse poo. No way will a generic ODB tool do it.
    • Hmm. Perhaps not the same engineers. The OE Nissan engineers did not forsee a future with spacers pushing the tie rod force application further away from the steering arm and creating that torque. The failures are happening since the advent of those things, and some 30 years after they designed the uprights. So latent casting deficiencies, 30+ yrs of wear and tear, + unexpected usage could quite easily = unforeseen failure. Meanwhile, the engineers who are designing the billet CNC or fabricated uprights are also designing, for the same parts makers, the correction tie rod ends. And they are designing and building these with motorsport (or, at the very least, the meth addled antics of drifters) in mind. So I would hope (in fact, I would expect) that their design work included the offset of that steering force. Doesn't mean that it is not totally valid to ask the question of them, before committing $$.
    • The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.
