now, the one near the washer bottle is actually on the chassis rail towards the bottom of the car

there are threaded holes there already, so we just drilled the hole on the ballast box a little bigger and that was it

did you purchase this xenon kit of someone or was it from the global premier site as im also interested in replacing bulbs which happens to be a series 2 as well. Also, does anyone know how to change the bulbs as one of mine is blown.

cheers

the kit was purchased from a mate, hence the cheap price :)

Unfortunately I'm the worlds crappiest photographer, and the photo has come out fairly blurry.

You can see the brightness of the xenons in the picture. I will try to get some better pictures during the week.

Sorry its so blurry.

Do you know if these auto electricians care much about the legalities of Xenon conversions given that ALL kits are technically illegal?

And can someone pass us a contact in Sydney?

T.

Apparently there is a dude up Newcastle way that will provide an engineers certificate for xenon modifications (assuming you set the up correctly, etc).

Can we see some of the front??? Isn't that the whole point of Xenons is that they look cool from the front??

No, the point is the provide better light. As a side benefit, most people think they also look good (although you should only use 4100k bulbs which don't have much of a blue hue).

these globes are pretty much white. no blue hue whatsoever.

i will get some more photos, but don't have a very decent digital camera (no zoom and flash stays on permanently) will see if I can get a mates nice 5 megapixel to take some shots

yeah, drive behind me, as long as someone gives me a radar detector :)

Errrrr... That's not exactly an accurate portrayal of how bright your xenons are.

The thing with photography is that you have such a great deal of control of exposure through shutter time.

Joe could have set that frame to expose for 10 minutes and you'll get basically a pure white top half of the photo.

Take a look at the rear taillights. They are a good indication of how overexposed that photo is if you are trying to get an accurate feel of what those headlights look like.

merli, you are correct, he did set the exposure time to 30 seconds.

they are quite bright and I will get some more pictures, with normal exposure time. unfortunately its hard to get good photos of the lights without exposing for a longer period of time.

Very true... Shouldn't be too hard with a digital camera though...

Nice headlights btw... Sorry I didn't see this thread earlier, as I had an aftermarket Xenon kit in my old Series 2 GTS-t with no problems with heat inside the enclosure.

I love xenons :(

i think we were just over zealous with the over-exposure due to its cool effect :(

going through the shots, nearly all have long exposure times ;)

thanks for the reassurance about the heat inside the enclosure

I've had these on for about 3-4 weeks now, and they do rock. Could never go back :)

That offers still up for you to come over to take photos by the way :rant:

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
