Just letting you guys know that I've completed my Povo light upgrade this weekend.

-Set of non-projector R32 GTST headlights from JustJap $150 each

-the brackets were around $39 each trade price from nissan

-big hassle getting the left hand side light out due to charcoal canister

-one of the plugs had to be changed (I think it was the high beam one)

it's so much better than the projector lights and looks much meaner aswell.

So Lucien, if I ran out and bought myself one of the many HID kits around, in H1, it's not a simple "bolt on" job that my mechanic can do?

If you buy a H1 globe replacement kit, it will be a 'plug-and-play' proposition - the Xenon globes simply replace the existing globes, and you have to find a place to attach the ballasts.

I think Lucien wants to adapt the Mercedes E55 bi-xenon (high and low beam in one projector) assembly into the R32GTR assembly.

since thread is entitled questions

thought I'd ask here

Can someone explain how to adjust the 32GTR headlights up! mine seem to aim low, and the bulbs are sitting ok in the sockets, someone said look for 2 screws in the back ot it. found them

but when I screwed them either way they didn't do jack

pics would be great

cheers

Mate i had the same problem, you need to put a big carboard or line your car close ( like 20cm close ) to you garage door or something then you can really tell if they move or not.

There are two screw thing ( you can use an 8mm socket or phillip head screw ), if you stand in front of you car, the one on the Right close to the guard is to use for moving/adjusting your driving light to the side of the road or more inward.

The other one which sit about 5cm lower than the first one is the ONE that to use for bringing your driving light up or down. As for adjusting the beam i'm still working on it.

By the way i bought RayBrig Metal Sand 4500k bought from Greenlight H3C and still having problem seeing at night ( or just because i cruise with my mate R34 all the time and it has Xenon ), i'm looking for a way to go HID as well.

Far out people bid like crazy for N1 lights in Yahoo Auctions Japan... I might join them soon (lol).

I saw an R32 today, GT-S with the pov lights, They look nice but since my car's a GT-R there's no way I'm putting that on it. Needs to be N1.

HID. It's been a year since I asked about it in this thread! I still haven't tried it!!! I might give it a go.

The company i work for sell GE XENON HID kits. I'm getting an R32 GTR in a week and 3 kits will be going in ASAP.

Low beam will be - 6,000K kit (from my experience, best colour & performance for low beam)

High beam will be - 4,300K kit (since this is demo car, will be used to show colour difference from 4K to 6K)

Fog light - 9,000K (spread beam pattern is used to light up the curb etc to the side of the car)

I've got HID on my currenty car and can't go without them. It will be the first modification to the line.

Will post pics of the look and performance once all done.

Just a note, R32s came with all sorts of bulbs, some are H3, some are H3C, some are H1. You just have to pull out the bulb and have a look to be sure.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi
