R32 Headlight Questions

[yaf28f]

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.

Anyone done HID yet?

Slowly slowly working my way there. Need to get some brackets made up to mount the E55 projectors on the stock GT-R mounting system. Haven't had time yet.

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.

do R32 gtr clear front indicators fit on the r32 gtst?

[Bazelinez]

No but the clear GTSt ones from 89 will. GTR ones are wider or longer. I can't remember which.

think they're wider to fit the guards

any idea where i can get them from?

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.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

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.

dont know if this is any use but i changed fuses from 15amp to 20amp (had problem with something there and my electrician suggested it) and its actually a lot brighter on standard globes, by the way i have the projector type lights.

[justinfox]

gexenon: Awesome definitely keep us updated.

[Ronin 09]

justinfox- check out my Honda Euro HID retrofit in DIY... no progress for months but the car is back on the road soon so have to finish it!

[justinfox]

Ronin I checked that out way too hardcore for me. If I try DIY I usually kill it. I'm that bad at DIY it's not funny.
