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:

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
