i just want to clarify that my coupe has D2S D2R Xenon HID 8000K bulbs already, and what ever the factory high beams are. do i need any other bulbs to make this work?

Nope, you should be all good.

manc01 - I am quite you are NOT going to find any D2S HIDs in stock at any store in Adelaide (which is why I told you about buying them on Ebay on Monday).

And as per my PM, any H4 will do the job - you just need to decide on what quality you want. but be prepared ot be raped if you buy retail vs buying online.

D2S is different to DSR... D2S is projector, D2R is reflector, D2C is the only one that can be used for both

Nissan charges $240+GST EACH Bulb so buy from that ebay link i posted, the guy is so helpful if you want to know "what Phillips do i buy"

D2S 85122CX

D2S 85122CM

D2S 85122

D2S 85122+

D2S 85122WX

Read between the lines : "D2S is projector, D2R is reflector" - you need to figure out whether your glones are S or R. If they are S then that is what you want, if they are R they will still work, but the pattern will not be optimal for the new projector style lens.

Got mine also. They come in a very big box! I have only opened one but it looks like is has a bulb in the high beam???

Yes its a H1 bulb. you can get the 100% more vision one from philips if your not happy with that one.. only $43 from ebay.

YAY! Keith and I got ours today! Super rapped to fob off my RHS headlight! Thanks to everyone's input and patience and to Keith for organising it on my behalf! :)

Has someone installed them yet? I wonder what to do with the small box attached to the wires, tape it to the headlights when I install it? I know how to install the headlights, but I might need some advice assistance with the HID ballast and harness.

Id like to note thats just on parks and my flash make it look like my light is on. These were a direct plug and play for me, will put a hid kit on it eventually but for now the halogens are fine.

Anyone bought these? I think it's a just a simple halo ring add-on, looks good

There is an extensive thread about these somewhere in the V35 section. Bit of a PITA job to fit including baking your lights to break the seals and open them, much stuffing around to fit the halos (including having to silicone them in = dodgy imho) and horror stories about the place on the net of people baking their lights too long and ruining them, not baking them long enough and damaging the seals when opening them, and the halos falling out of place or not being siliconed in perfectly straight and looking like shite. Not something I am game to do TBH - hence why I bought the aftermarket lights with all of the guesswork taken out. Plus it is fully/easily reversible to switch the lights back if you want later on.

Are you free Saturday morning/lunchtime to help/watch/drink while we fit the headlights to 5 x V35s Matt? Munro might pop around in his R35GTR for a look/help/drink too. It is getting some new toys fitted as we speak and will be making mid-400 awkws by the weekend :)

hey Damian, are your low beam bulbs D2S or D2R?

I haven't got mine fittet yet but my V35 is a series 1 with D2R bulbs and I'm a bit concern if they would fit ok in the projector lens of the new headlights.

    • Nah, nothing formal, just open track days. Mostly small and tight circuits but I would like to get back out to Eastern Creek at some stage.
    • What type of track driving will you be doing?  Do you have a set of class rules you need to abide by that will limit your rim / tyre width?
    • I've been reading a lot lately about unsprung weight and how beneficial it can be to reduce it for driving on the track, given my semi's only have another day or two in them I am throwing around the idea of some lighter wheels and a square set up. I have 265/35/19's and 245/40(?)/19 Federal 595's at the moment. The wheels and tyres are super heavy. I looked up my wheel weight online and got 14.5kg naked. Not sure if this was 8.5 (front) or 9 (rear) but that's a lot. I have also been reading about the benefits of a square setup. Much better rotation and potentially less understeer.  When I throw these together I'm thinking about a 17x9 or 18x9 square (preferably under 10kgs per wheel) with 245 or 255's. I can get some cheap 17x8.5 BMW M Sport wheels, they weight 10.5 kg's each but at 8.5 wide could probably only get 245's on them? I know they come with 255's from factory but semi's are a bit chunkier. Otherwise it will be aftermarket wheels in a 9" width. Most of the other BMW wheels are heavy unless you pay a squillion dollars for some M wheels.  Although, the E46 M3 Style 67's could be good but I'd have to buy 2 sets to square them up.  My car has a tickle over 400hp and about to put an LSD in also, is 245 a little thin for a square setup? It kinda feels that way to me. Also, is there any tangible benefit to having 18's over 17's? Is the footprint demonstrably bigger? From those of you who went to light(er) wheels after heavy buggers, did you notice it much?
    • Start with the R32 GTR wiring diagram. The ECU is essentially the same, so the pinouts are good. The details around ECCS relays, etc might differ a little bit, but the reality is that you need to get ignition power to kick the ECU so it powers up the ECCS relay which brings the rest of the ECU up. This also gives power to the other circuits that are needed to make the engine run, like the ignition coils, etc. All of this is visible on the R32 diagram and should give you a strong guide, even if it's not quite the same as the R33. As to specifics - I'm pretty sure no-one can help you from afar, as there is no way to know what mistake or omission has been made in connecting stuff up. It always turns out to be "LOL, I shorted something and an entire wire vanished out of the loom", or "We never connected X or Y main connector", or "shit, you mean I need to have that fuse installed?".
    • hello wanted some insight on what my problem could be so i swapped a RB26DETT into my r33 gtst used a R33 GTR engine harness and im using a haltech platinum pro. The car cranks but no start the ecu isn’t getting any power now im trying to find out why i cant seem to find any schematics  or diagram for the engine harness for the r33 gtr anything helps thank you.
