My headlights are shitty lookin' and I'm thinking about getting a HID conversion kit. Does anyone have any suggestions or things I should be aware of when planning on doing this, or better yet looking for advice from someone who has already done it. I notice with a lot of the kits online they include 2 globes but I would need 4 would I not? Or are you only supposed to do it on the high beams?

just need a kit of the 2 globes, and the ballast with the cabels etc, all comes in the kit

they r illegal you can be done for them cos there not factory, and you dont have the auto leveling and washes etc and r33s dont have projector style headlights

go to the group buy section on the forums im sure theres a group buy on them at the moment, thats how i got mine

and installation is simple and easy:

just take out ur halogens

remove the cap

drill a 2.5cm hole in the cap

feed in the cabels and connect it to the hid globe

put cap bak on

find a suitable place to put the ballast and secure it there

and up to you if you want to do high and low beam, ur low beams will be brighter so you wont be using your highs as much any more

You can get a decent set of hid's from where I work in midland gee. Will coat ya 149, but coz your with sau il do em cheaper. Only do the low beam, that's what I've done, and jus a set of aftemarket bulbs for the hi beam as you wont use em much.

    • I have had the r3c in for years now, maybe close to 7 years and it has never missed a beat, anyone can drive it. Super easy to drive around town, the hotter it gets does get a little hard but it holds the power easy as 
    • Shit thing to find eh? I guess the big issue is that whatever "fix" you do now, it might slow the rust down but won't fix it. I just wanted to add that in no way is fixing sheet metal in 3 dimensions the place to start with welding....that is a pro only job because its too hard to work out where things should be, let alone doing a clean enough job that it can look OK and still be strong too.  I needed to get a new rear quarter panel on the GTR and it took a pro weeks to get the old one off cleanly, new one on in the right place and looking somewhat like it should have with most of the previous connecting panels in place. Gluing a couple of bits of metal together with a welder in the garage is doable, but that is totally different to doing panel  replacement
    • This seems to be a very popular swap since all the turbo skyline prices went through the roof! I'll let someone more familiar chime in, but I understand that yes you probably want to swap the loom in to swap out the auto TCM stuff. You should not assume everything just plugs in either, you need to check at least the ECU wiring diagram for any differences at the plug at the left headlight and probably the ones near the ECU that join the dash loom too  
    • hows it fellas, my first post here which seems crazy cos half the forums i read are like the same age as me haha. to make a long story short ive got an r34 sedan (rb25de neo auto) which im swapping to a s0/s1? rb25det, r33 big box and nismo gt pro lsd. i have the motor and gearbox all bolted up outside the car, old motor and trans out. i bought the motor with stock ecu and loom, do i switch over to that? or will it be easier to get a r34 manual ecu and keep the loom if thats even possible.  also engine mounts look different, anything else thats different or incompatible? cheers, hope this all makes sense Paddy
