Hi guys.

Recently blew the bulb in the right-hand side headlight. I've been doing a bit of a search and people have been saying that you have to get 'D2R' headlight bulbs or something?

Can I not just buy the bulbs that they sell down at the local Supercheap or Repco?

Also getting the bulbs in.. Seems quite tricky since I can't really fit my fingers anywhere near the back of the bulb holder. What's the easiest way to replace the bulbs?

Cheers.

Remove you battery and you should have plenty of room,

did mine a couple of weeks back,

just unscrew the dust cap and sqeeze the spring clip change it and put everything back.

are you using the factory xenon plugs or normal halogen globes?

Okay after researching a bit I've realised that I can't simply replace them with halogen globes from the local auto shop. I have to get special HID Xenon bulbs. I will try Xspeed and see if they have some in stock.

Cheers.

try ebay,

i bought a HID kit for mine, both headlights for about $60, so a globe should be next to nothing,

just make sure you get the right globe.

HID globes from auto shops anre upwards from $200 depending on what type of globe

How the heck is there such a massive difference in prices for these? ZXY you said you paid $40, whilst R34Mobster paid $275 for a pair and I paid $308 for ONE! I'll wait till I get it from the shop next monday and will update you guys.

did xspeed sell it to you? If so try and take it back cause they've taken advantage of you. As others have said hop on eBay or find a trader on here you can get 2 for less than 100

you need to do research before paying that type of money. $308 is alot of money for a bulb. If you went to dealers, i doubt it would even have been that much.

pull out one of your current bulbs and have a look. on it you should see some code/model number, and some of that should contain "D2R" if you're lucky. If so, then yeah it's the right bulb you linked on ebay. if you're not sure then chuck up a pic for us here and we can verify for you. also, i should mention that if you want to go the Japanese spec, search up garax HID on ebay, they are great bulbs.

      Stupid HICAS Question?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      You won't make it out of your driveway. Both your rear wheels will go in whichever direction they feel. Your Hicas rack or a lockout bar is required to keep your wheels straight.

      Updating results.  Using ATR45SS-0 model VS UHF57-900. Those two are very different turbos, different wheels sets with different wheel hub profiles but yet with almost identical result. I’m intrigued with both turbos performance. ATR45SS-0 was a 61mm turbo first developed in May 2020, UHF57-900 was a 62mm turbo developed in March 2024 as a powered up alternative of a G30-900. On paper ATR45SS-0 maxed at 563rwkws, while UHF57-900 maxed at 568rwkws. ATR45SS was slightly more responsive with slightly better power band through the mid range.  Road driving ability, ATR45SS-0 had better throttle response, felt more robust under throttle, as it wakes up earlier. I think G series wheel hub design made it to have higher inertia under light throttle. Doing bit more prototype work in the next few weeks, will update result when its back on dyno again. ATR45SS0 Blue, UHF57-900 Red Chequered tuner's Dynapack hub dyno, E85 fuel. Mod list is in video below video_20240604_114214.mp4

      Wastegate Boost Reference For Twin Turbo Rb26 Using Dual Port Gates

      Did you run the power cables for the mac valve to the other side of the car near the fusebox? Utilizing the stock boost controller cables? or did you run new ones?

      Stupid HICAS Question?

      By JeffWithaJ · Posted

      Hey I have a potentially stupid HICAS question 🤣 I'm currently doing a full hicas delete, Power steering pump modified to non hicas, all lines removed from the car along with all electronics. My stupid question is - Do I need a lock out bar? is there any reason why I cant just remove everything from the rear end? I already have a lock out bar but thinking to save a few extra grams I could also get rid of the arms and tie rods as well and just run it with nothing in its place? or would it have a negative effect on handling?
