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?

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 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.

      Just a thought, was that car and auto at any point of its life? If so, maybe whoever bridged the inhibitor switch/circuit did a not so good job.

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
