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 ;)

    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
