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.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
