Hey everyone,

It has been so long since I have been here, sorry I am returning with a question!!

I wonder if anyone can help with a reasoneably easy one! I hope!!

Is anyone aware of the measurements required for the aiming of R33 Headlights, Low and High Beam?

If no one knows measurements, has anyone been successful with this task, and how did it work?

Stephen

Yeah I need to know the same thing. Except its for a R32. When I flash my highbeams, I swear it's like i'm using spotlights trying to find possums in the trees. (happened on mountain run, caught reflection of possum's eyes in tree, but absolutely no sign of the road)

They are so out of alignment.

Well, the way I usually do it-with my vl, is park it about 10m or so on a flat piece of land, with the lights aiming at a flat wall, i get in the car and see where they are aiming.. ideally i want them like.. _

the left light to be upwards and little to the left, and the right to be slightly downwards and straight.. its personal preference i guess, auto electricians have a chart that they use to aim it at.. i just go by what i like..

obviously consider the drivers ont he road.. but i definately think upwards on the left, seeing on the gutter and along the gutter, and right, well along the road, doens't have to point at edges or too far ahead.

good luck

chris

    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
