Hey Guys,

I was just wondering wat HID should i be using for my HI BEAM

H? ????K ??W (the brighter the better!!)

I currently purchased a V35 not to long ago and it came with HID's already

but where i live has no street lights and alot of kangaroos and rabbits,

so when i turn on the hi beams it does work but u cant even see the difference

as the low beams a just so bright...

Guys i need some help quick before i hit a kangaroo and write off my baby!!!

Had a few too close for comfort encounters already.....

Hi Aaron, there is already a tread about V35 HID.

Have a read and maybe it might help your question. High beams in stock headlights are pretty ok at night. Just have to drive abit careful around that area, I think.

Good luck.

That only helps half...or maybe a little of his question.

if 2003-04 models all i know is main lights are H1 fogs are H4. stick with 6000k or less as higher K will emit less light. the high beams works from the H1s so make sure you get a genuine phillips bulb or equivalent so that the main and high beams are both bright.

reason being as before i spent only $200 on my H1 HID from ebay and ending up with 6000k but the high beam was yellow...fail.

thanks XTC,

do u think if i added another set of 6000k to the hi beam spot it would make a difference i just need the light to be clearer than now and while u guys a helping me out can i fit 20's on the V35 wit offset front +35 rears +40

thanks guys

Adding a 6000 k hi beam wud def make a difference however id prob go around 5000k. As u actually get more light.

With the wheels 20s r fine. Xtc has 20s and also one or 2 oders dat ul c at the cruise have 20s. my 20s are arriving shortly as well. However that offset of +35f and +40R is not wat u shud get IMO . try going more towards the +20-22 mark or bit lower front and rear . Otherwise they wont sit very flush and wont look guud.Also u have to consider the diameter of the wheels. Il explain this to u at the cruise iv made the same mistake as u wid my wheels and have learned by dat mistake :P

    • Hi everyone, I've been wrestling with this for a while now and have been trying to find out the cause. For context, the turbos used are Garrett 2860 -5s, the BOV is a BNR32 HKS SSQV IV kit, the car is currently tuned to ~470 whp on 17.5 psi. The car drives normally, pulls well when it doesn't happen, and I can replicate it fairly easily. It does not sound like turbo shuffle or flutter. The engine has only a thousand or so miles and has had this behavior since it was completed. After my engine was built for my R32 GTR, I noticed that the car now sometimes makes an air discharge sound on what appears to be positive boost pressure that sounds really similar to a BOV. I had thought that it was a BOV issue but even when replacing it with a brand new unit, the sound persisted. It seems like it's coming from the passenger side but I may be mistaken. The closest scenario I could find was this post here https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/ started by @yakshii and it sounds very similar. As in, at partial throttle once I reach positive boost I begin to hear the same psh psh psh psh psh sound like air is leaking somewhere when I keep the throttle in the same position. It most commonly happens in 4th gear at around 3-3.5k RPM and 5th gear around 2.5-3k RPM, which seems to coincide with normal positive boost thresholds. It might be similar to what @Austrian GTR mentioned about his own HKS SSQV. Notable difference would be that when he applies more throttle when it happens, it stops. In my scenario if I apply more throttle during this repeated psh psh psh sound, the cadence of the sound gets faster and louder rather than stopping. If I lift off slightly and apply throttle again, it will normally stop and pull without issue. I've checked all rubber couplers to ensure that they are tight, but have not gotten the opportunity to properly do a pressurized boost leak test. If anyone has had similar experiences or thoughts on what might be the cause, I'd be very keen to hear them. I also have a video of it happening from inside the cabin, if that would make it easier to understand: https://youtu.be/2zqZXcx8jbA
    • I'd want at least $40K for mine, but thats easy to say cos I'm not selling anyway.
    • That's incorrect. We have 4 seasons, consisting of pre winter, winter, post winter and a small glimpse of hope! 
    • I spotted a black C34 in Mittagong this morning!
