Sorry to dig up an old thread, but are these what most people are using for low beam? My car does not have the same lights as what was purchased in the group buy but they are upgraded.

Any place local to buy at a decent price?

It depends on whether your car uses D2r or D2s, and whether it actually has HIDs, or has Xenons.

And no, you will not find those globes for anywhere near the price locally.

I just took some quick pics and they appear to be D2S.

I had one of the bulbs out a while ago and it looked pretty much as the same as the one I linked although a different colour strip from memory.

My low beam lighting is pretty poor right now. The right side is blown but the headlights seem to be aimed very high. I think the previous owner may have fitted the USD type instead of the proper JDM ones..

Hi Guys,

its amazing how many responses came through to my original question, sorry as I was overseas for months and got back recently and now resuming tinkering with my car. Its super sucks that I missed out on the group buy and I know its a long shot but I was wondering if there is any chance to get the headlights still or who can help me out on getting them?

By the way if anyone wants to buy I-simple Ipod plug and play can sell it for $70, bought the wrong one as it is for a G35 Infiniti slight different sound system to a Nissan 350gt.

PS, if anyone has questions on Plenium spacers and CAI on how to install please feel free to ask

Cheers,

Jayce

Just got an email from Jesse. My lights have shipped!

Hi Mate,

I orginally started this topic and didnt get in the group by, the irony of it. How much all up did you get the lights off Jesse?

Yeah one member got some from Jesse after the group buy and I am pretty sure he got his for $700 delivered (vs about $585 we paid from memory).

    • 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/
