You wont be able to use they factory HID setup on the sedan lights, there is no mount or hole for the factory setup.

There is just a rubber cap over the back of the globes, which is the only access for the wiring.

You will require an after market set of HID for this to be possible.

Easy partner!!! I believe once all has paid he then has to go on the yahoo auction thingy and once he has the headlights he then will contact us for the shipping. From there depending on the type of shipping requested you will have them within 5 days. He did mention of some public holidays over ther in japan, maybe thats the hold up?

Although it has been a while!!!!!

With regards to Jesse purchasing the lights he would be going directly to the supplier.

I regards to the HID setup for the sedan lights, you will not be able to reuse the original setup. Go and buy an aftermarket set of H7 HID's, when you get the new headlights, remove the two wires going into the low beam section and cut them. Now solder these two wires to the power input on the aftermarket HID kit.

The series one sedan factory HID setup is in two parts, the ballast under the headlamp and the igniter module inside the headlight (which requires dismantling of the headlight to get to it). The series 2 sedan and all of the coupe's these two components were combined into the one unit under the headlight.

So retain the factory harness ditch the factory ballast with the factory lights, (do the new ones have halogens in them already?) And replace with aftermarket hid's, that's cool I get em cheap as threw work.

The new lights will come with a harness already attatched, when you unplug and remove your original headlight the harness stays with it you wont require anything off it. You will be splicing into the new harness on the new light.

Nice to see that there are 4 units paid for in full with shipping. I was wondering if anyone has anymore pictures of these lights that they could post on here? Excitement will build even more then while looking at what we are getting soon!!!

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
