Custom Glass Carbon Fibre R33 Projector Headlights Group Buy!


Recommended Posts

haha settle down Philby! they only bump em up to around 85volts

That is what they continously run at once they are operating. Pretty sure on initial ignition it bumps up to around 18-24kV.

is there going to be just a glass lens option available? i dont want to wreck the party but people who have a car worth 8-15k i dont think will be particularly willing to spend 2000-3000 on headlights. i know the HID option will look great and i dont want to criticise you efforts but i think a simple 'glass lense replacement' option using the remainder of the facotry headlight would probably suit the budget of more people on here. maybe add it as an option if it hasnt already been?

i think this is a great idea btw and im interested in the price for a glass lense as i will need a set for my gtr.

Yes the glass lens replacement will most likely be an option. Also the headlights will be under $2000. Honestly I realise it aint for every one, but for certain people that can afford it and want something different it's a great option and i'm really looking forward to it. The amount of money my car (and a lot of others) are worth once you add up every modification, another $2000 really aint the end of the world for something that is a worlds first and will update the look of the car.

oh please dont mention those words 'adding up cost' thats just too scary to think about...

Bring on the new headlights...

Hahahaha so true. To this day I regret keeping an excel spreadsheet of all the costs the car owes me.

I sent Spinto an email to see if there has been any progress; stay tuned.

sounds good, look forward to the final result

UPDATE

Spinto is receiving the projectors in the following week so will start creating the carbon fibre bezels to hold the projector in place. They also want to start making the tooling in the following week for the glass lenses.

They are also experimenting with making the carbon fibre frames for the lenses to try and make it an easy conversion.

I don't think this question has been asked. Will the lenses they make for the carbon fibre set up fit our existing lights or will they only fit their own design. I'm sure there'll be plenty of people after lenses only. If they're not the same as our original lenses can they make a glass replacement. Either way, can we get a price on replacement lenses for the factory light assembly.

I think you have confused yourself a little bit.

Our headlights and these new headlights are the same light assembly.

Ie. You send them your headlights, they pull off the plastic lenses, remove the low beam reflectors, remove the parkers and remove the black surrounds that hold/cover everything on the inside.

Now you are left with the plastic housing that mounts onto your car and the factory high beam reflector mounted inside. Into this the projector is mounted, the new LED parkers are mounted, the new carbon fibre surrounds are mounted and then the glass is fixed onto it sealing it together.

Hope that clears it up a bit.

There is no pricing at the moment, but judging by the price of the Supra glass lenses it would be a safe bet to say the glass lenses would be between $500-$1000, but that is purely my guess.

  • 3 weeks later...

I'll give the boys an e-mail later on tonight. I don't like to bother them to often as I know it is a long process and there is a lot to be done.

    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.

    • Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
