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:

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
