there are some metal covers inside, if you take them out you get a bit more light out of them

they are fogs so it'll always be a wide spread

i was thinking about getting some driving lights for below them or maybe next to the number plate tho

i heated of my outer lenses with a hair dryer then took out the two inner lenses, one clear the other orange to get the full

light spread. now the normal halogen light colour.

same, then i got some "5000k" halogen bulbs

basically normal bulbs with a blue coating

not as blue as the xenons, but a lot whiter than the stock bulbs

oh yeah regarding on bubba's comment on replacing driving lights, no.

found the one's in the grille quite good.

in saying that got a pair of nice 100w spotties out in the garage been boxed away for years new unused (gift).

similar size and shape to the cibie's on the dayz s2.

been eyeing of that aunger thing and umming/arrrring if i really need to get it and fit them.

Pipster are you talking about the yellow fogs in in the front bar with your indicators? I would like to do this and make them white if they are the ones you guys are referring too the yellow some how makes the car look more dated to me

sure am

put them in the oven with the temp on low ~80*c then slowly pull the lens off

once open, there is a yellow tinted glass in front of the bulb that just unscrews and comes off

I threw my Fogs in the Oven after Preheating to 90c for 10min, the lens came off VERY easy with the help of a flat blade screwdivers.

I removed the Yellow Glass Filter + the Amber Filter for the indicator.

Recently installed 50 Watt 6000k HIDs in the Fog lights, Looks A MILLING DOLLARS!!!

I cant stress how much better it looks. IMO... :)

Just did this to a mates Stagea aswell.

That I have seen,read and heard, we're the only 2x on the coast with HIDs in the Fogs :P

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      Blue slip

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.

      Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
