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.

^^ What he said :)

Lucien.

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.

    • 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.
