Was having a look through a thread on a bmw forum (http://www.bmwfanatics.co.za/showthread.php?tid=35358), if you scroll down 2/3 of the topic you will see some really cool bmw style headlights this guy installed onto his 33 GTR.

I'll attach the pics here anyway;

What do you guys think? He seemed to have alot of trouble wiring them up too, they're quad Bi-Xenons!

Imagine that in your rear view mirror when it gets dark.... :)

The only option we really have other than our stock headlights are the $2-3k s3 Xenons, so even though some people might not like these halo ones, at least we know there's something else out there for us all, even though this probably isn't an easy modification :rolleyes: .

In saying that though, i don't mind the standard s1/s2 headlights, they look really nice after a thorough clean, getting rid of the yellowing. I think it's hard to get a headlight mod right on a R33, I've seen a few (3-4 maybe) and in my opinion, this one takes the cake.

The halos look too small compared to the light dimensions unfortunately, a little bit of fabrication and that could be done to a high standard

Yeah I gotta agree with you. Way to small, and I couldn't imagine that this would be an easy and cheap mod. I'm no good with electrics so if it was me I'd rather just save and buy the S3 lights but thats just me. Eh, either way as has been said Skyline lights aren't that bad, haven't dated in my opinion like a lot of 90's car lights have. Good clean and they're looking schmick ;)

    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
