Custom Glass Carbon Fibre R33 Projector Headlights Group Buy!


Recommended Posts

Been wondering when anyone's going to ever make aftermarket headlights for 33s lol. I'm in on this for sure.

Agreed with the 1 projector per headlight idea too, keeps the cost down and halogen is more practical with the existing high beam set-up on r33s (low beams turns off when high beams are activated).

will it be a problem flashing your headlights as when you flash the hi-beams the low be does turn off yeah?

is that bad for the lights being projector hid?

its illegal right to have the low beam stay on while the hi-beam is on, yes?

This group buy idea is making me hold fof on all other purchases for the 33 now you realise, until I know how much of my monthly mod budget will be taken up by this one...

Should we be looking at headlight protectors as well now?

since they would be glass, Id be worried about stones hitting my nice new glass lenses...

Personally I wouldn't worry about it to much, glass is pretty strong.

I'm in too, depending on price.

So will this be a changeover kinda deal with my stock headlights? coz the brackets and housing on my stockies are shagged that's why I'm interested in these.

Yeah we will have to send our headlights to them and they do the modifications and send them back. I'm in the same situation man, my drivers side headlight is screwed so will have to buy one to replace it prior to doing this.

I sent the guys an email with a link to this thread so they can read through every ones suggestions. I also sent some pics of S3 GTR headlights to work off as a basis.

I am only new to this forum as i just bought a R33 GTS-T S2 on the weekend.

Heres hoping that I can join in on this group-buy?

i have already started looking online for some replacements!

Interested in asking if they can make just the front plastic of the R34 headlights outta glass.. Would be interested in that depending price..

Wow... PM-R33, you are the man.

Not sure how many people I speak for but being an owner of a 1995 R33 GTR I have yellow headlights and I would be super happy if there was a direct replacement of the OEM plastic lens with a replacement glass lens!

UPDATE

Bit of news from Rich:

I assure you the final product will not be “try hard” Honda boy look. We have been asked to do Audi and BMW LED’s on the Supra lights but simply refuse too. We won’t manufacture something that we are not proud of. We are all about quality and attention to detail. All product is manufactured here in Australia. We don’t use any tacky e-bay techniques. The glass is cut and curved 1 lens at a time. The carbon fibre is made via vacuum infusion with high temp resins and UV protected gel coat. When we sell carbon fibre, we DON’T use fibreglass to make a more cost effective product, we make it properly. We even go to the trouble of importing our resin systems from France.

These are the Hella projectors that will be used:

As for the kits, there will be two options to choose from.

Kit 1: Carbon fibre bezel, Glass lens, HELLA Projector low beam, re-designed Parker lights, HELLA adjuster.

Kit 2: Carbon fibre bezel, Glass lens, HELLA Projector low beam, re-designed Parker lights, 6000k hid bulbs, HELLA ballasts, HELLA relay, HELLA adjuster.

The LED parker/indicator design is going to be the tricky part to create something unique that look aggressive. If any one has any designs/photoshops that they think will look good chuck them up.

Here's something that I quickly did up in Paint.

    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY
