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.

    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
