Hey guyz i bought new Xenon's from a store here in Perth.

And they are not bright at all. I previously bought $19 ones from another store and they were very bright.

These new ones were for $40 so i thought they will be bright but they are very crap. I cant even notice them on. I have to switch on my foglights/spotlight (r33 Series 2 ones) to see at night.

They are 55watts. made in australia.

If i get 100watt ones will my wiring melt? or will it cause any problems?

u sure they werent pretty colourful blue ones, in that case they will be nice and blue but not very bright, what exact lights were they?

I got Narva Blue Power (I think they are) and there pretty good, the Phillips Power2Night are also alright but a bit pricey

i run the phillips power 2 night ones. they are a 50%+ bulb. i had to buy a new set the other day and they were only $45, but that was for H4's. the phillips blue vision are also good. i prefer the power 2 night though as they are a brighter light, but they are a fraction more yellow than the blue vision. they appear to be close to the narva power blue ones. they still give off a white light, but it isn't as white as the fully blue coated bulbs. but all of the fully coated bulbs always have a lower light output than partially coated or fully clear bulbs, and i'd rather be able to see where i am going than have some fully sick ricer globes.

your random brand blue tinted globe proclaiming a million kelvin colour temperature and HID XENON or some bullshit on the packaging is guaranteed to give you a woeful light output. I remember one of my headlights blew and I bought a you beaut MTEC brand or something equally forgetful and fitted them, well.. I just about crapped my pants the next time I drove at night I could only see for about 15 metres and the road in front of the car showed up dim and blue. They were dimmer than 30c "I just need to pass rego alright" globes!!

Any +50 globe with a CLEAR lens should have good light output. They do overdrive the filament to improve the efficiency so expect a shorter life from a +50 but I'd rather replace my globes more often and get better light. The Phillips Bluevision are not bad but they are a tinted lens so you will end up with less light output than the equivalent clear lens.

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
