Hi Guys,

I have my R33 Series 1 Coupe in getting painted at the moment and I would like to buy some replacement headlights and a few other bulbs as well.

I have searched around but cannot find a comprising list of bulbs?

could anyone assist or tell me where i should look for.

Head Lights (i did find but which HID kids are the best for a 33?)

front bumper bar lights indicators etc.

rear spoiler (The high type one not the flatish one) dont appear to work?

rear indicators and reverse lights as well as number plate lights

and my interior light doesnt work either.

I would be looking at replacing all of these with LED's but i have been informed if I replace the indicators they will flash fast?? how do i over come this.

much appreciated, Mitch.

i think you can get proper indicator LED bulbs that won't flash fast, or you can replace the flasher can.

most of the bulbs for the brake lights, etc are standard bulbs, so just go into your local car parts store and ask them.

headlights are H1 from memory (for both low beam and high beam). as for HID's there have been a few threads on it (i don't really know much about them)

hey these are the hid's im running in my car and think they're fantastic! people saying that they don't disperse the light properly are talking shit! The visibilty at night is amazing and I've never had complaints about blinding oncoming drivers except when I first had them fitted as I had to aim the headlights down just a fraction. technically they are a defect but I've never been done for it and I've had several full vehicle inspections from police at night with the lights on but the risk is totally up to you! http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/EDX-v1-HID-H1-Xenon-Kit-Skyline-R32-R33-GTR-GTST-8000K-/260659161470?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3cb07f297e

nice! i ended up getting the 8000k. to help you with your question... the side indicators, parkers and license plate lights are all a t10 wedge type bulb. The reverse and rear indicators are a bayonet style bulb (type 1156 with one prong on the bottom) and the brake lights are also a bayonet (type 1157) with two prongs on the bottom. I tried replacing my indicators with led's but I had the rapid flashing problem so I put the old ones back in. Easy problem to fix apparently but I couldn't be bothered. You can get the interior led's from places like supercheap etc. There made to fit a wide range of different connectors and come with all the necessary adaptors to plug and play.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
