Victorian R32 Owners, What Have You Done About The Shocking Headlights We Have?


Recommended Posts

Well, I have had enough of my terrible headlights, standard projectors with good globes, max adjustment and still cant get a decent beam out of them. Ride height being 345mm/345mm I think is my issue(rake). My height is legal, the rake is required until I re-do my suspension set-up.

Has anyone been in the same boat and come up with a legal solution?

Removed the cover and fitted some replacement Narva or similar ADR approved low/hi beam spotties etc.

My projectors are perfectly fine with what ever random halogen globes. But I have gone to HID now the same with my R31, although not legal.

Your headlight lenses aren't dull are they?

yeh my projectors are good, when i first got it they lenses were dull then i got the contacts clean and made them perfect and also made the head lights look alot better

haha my old ones :woot:

OP you could go HID's heaps brighter, but not legal

haha the r32's (with the projector bulb headlight design) are known for poor lighting. I ended up buying some super-dooper phillips diamond crystal vision globes. Strongest range from Phillips and do shit all on the streets haha

I think your old ballast's have died :woot: There sitting in the garage, the 31 and 32 have different HID kits laws.

I pulled the light beam cutoff out of my low beam lights to give more light. Quick and easy mod and works. They still aren't blinding like the Euro car so its ok in my mind. Not legal but isn't to bright to other drivers as they are average headlights to start with.

find some cheap 32 sedan headlights (non projectors, like the n1's but nop grill clips)

they are h4 globes and heaps brighter

Thats what I was thinking, just didnt want to create demand by saying all N1 lights are, is sedan lights with a 30$ clip!

;) can u explain these "different" laws?? I was under the impression that after market HID kids are illigal because although we have projector headlights we dont have

a) self leveling balists

and

b) headlight water squirters

I could be wrong tho, I really really want HID's coz i cant see shit outta the front of my gtr at night.

Your 100% right, i meant to type ''lawls'' not ''laws'' hahaha :mad:

i did exactly that to my 33, made the light look HEAPS nicer and night beam better too,

    • Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA
    • All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.      
    • roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.
