this is funny shiiit...

im having this massive battle with a seller on ebay..

hes practially saying i cant fit DR2 globes as there is no conversion kit for it... WTF??

he says there is no way to plug the globe into the ballast...LOL

QUOTE

"Like i said, you cant get a D2R conversion kit... the bulbs have no way of plugging into the ballasts, as the D2R is a factory D2R bulb and not designed to plug into a ballast... as the headlight housing provides the circuitry between the HID bulb and the ballast.

Your best bet is to find out what halogen bulb is being used in your headlight - probably H1 - and get a H1 conversion kit."

Lol.... There are D2R kits....

Even with my H1 HID kit, the seller could get me a set of D2R globes for it, but too bad they don't fit anymore.

Anyway, as for the first kit that you showed, they aren't actual Philips kit.... They just supposedly uses Philips globes. Because with Philips kit, you are looking at like $350-400.

Thanks for the taking the effort for taking the pics Charles.

Was hoping for a more even spread of light and a flat sharp cut off. Oh wells

Thanks anyway :thumbsup:

Hmmm... You might be able to achieve that with a D2R kit? As the reflectors in your headlights are made for D2R, not H1 (which is mine).

Yeah im not sure, but i would think that the factory xenons would of have a good spread and a sharp cut off?

Then again im not sure will have to take a look at my mates R34 one day as he has the factory ones in place that werent taken out at compliance.

Errrr.... I thought the only difference between H1 and D2R is the mounting bracket.... I think they installed a H1 bracket over the existing D2R bracket during compliance, so if you can take the H1 bracket out, you should have the factory D2R bracket?

And as for cutting holes.... You'd have to do it either way, for H1 or D2R, because the ballast is going to be outside of the headlight, so you will need a hole for the wires to run from ballast (outside) to the globes (inside).

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!

      I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
