Disappointed that I missed out on the group buy. Does anyone have any idea where I can still get them or anybody else interested in another group buy?

Just sent Jesse an email as I also cleverly missed this buy.

I have these lights already..

They come wired so it's a direct plug and play exercise.. The Halos and LEDs come on if you move the stalk to parkers.. They also come on if the lights are set to auto and the headlights come on.. If you want to have the halos/leds always on you will need to cut and connect to something like accessories (so they are always on when the car is on) They DO NOT come with any bare wires.. It is all plug and play if you have the stock HID ballasts/globes and igniters.

The current harness on your factory lights are not used at all.. as long as you have the original unhacked car headlight wiring harness (there is no need for this to be modified by compliancing etc so it should be intact and untouched)

The indicator bulb that comes with the lights is a dual filament bulb.. so its always on (USA style) You can buy a new bulb or just remove the connectors to the extra filament (takes 10 seconds to remove)

Lastly $140 to install these lights is a joke.. it took me maybe just over an hour to do both lights.. I am not a mechanic with access to a hoist.. I did it on my garage floor laying on cardboard with no jacking up involved

If you want new Bulbs

I'm very happy with them.. Don't go above 6000k though

Just contacted Jesse about these for myself.

Anyone else keen on them? I'd like to save a few buck if I can if you're interested as well.

Cheers

OK, scratch that.

No new group buy is going to organised.

How blue are the 6,000k globes? I don't want any police attention, and my old HIDs @ 6,000k got me more than enough.

You are talking about the coupe' headlights where I was not, I was talking and displayed a picture for the sedan lights.

The coupe lights should be a straight drop in affair as the coupe' was released with projectors, the sedan however was never released with projectors so they are complete aftermarket hence the difference.

I doubt very much those are "real Philips" esp since thats in AUD... They will colour fade fast. Even from america from a guy that just sells them and gets good rates is $90... bulk buy 10+ for $70each shipped

if you want 6000K then the best are Philips D2S 6000k 85122WX Ultinon @$90 if you want the most output of light then Osram's D2S CBI 66240. Also sold as Sylvania but $160

​$140 is to make a business run, if you are confident you can do it yourself

you do have to know "how" to do it. If you know then it will take an 45mins max.. more if you taking your time.

Doesn't get any easier than this guys: http://g35driver.com...mple-steps.html

Edit: Comparison between 4300K and 6000K globes on the g35. I will personally be getting the D2S 6000k (preferably Phillips).

Yep it really is that simple - except you don't even have to undo the 10 bottom 10mm bolts - you can undo all the top ones and just lean the bumperbar forward/down and there is plenty of from from memory.

But to make it more fun, the 4 Adelaide guys are going to get together at my place, sink piss and do all the cars in one hit!

So what globes are people putting in them? High beam & low beam options?

High Beam

Philips X-treme Vision H1 +100%

Low Beam

Can anyone with the lights installed please park the correct distance away from a wall and take a pic of the low beam and high beam, and if possible standing infront of the passenger side light, i want to see what how the drivers side cutoff is. Thanks alot!!

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Yea that's a fair assumption. I'm presuming they call them solid lifters as they have no moving parts like hydro lifters.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I believe you're confusing WMI with water injection. Looking at that graph, the 93aki+WMI car is making more power than C16 race gas. Boost juice, which is what I also run, is Snow Performances 50/50 premix.

      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 🤣

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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).
