One other question... In the final pic of the headlight finished, is there still the plastic/glass cover to go over there? To me it looks like it wouldnt fit but not to sure.

Keep up the good work anyway, nice to see people doing such good jobs at modding OEM parts

^^ I'll take the pix brothaa... The ones you took aren't good enough for my standard.. Haha

Callan: I didn't put the clear lense on coz it was do yellow that you wouldn't see through it.. Trust me, everything fits!! Shinobi's them on his car for the last 2 days.. Although I don't have pix yet I bet the output is 10 times better..

For the rest of the crew:

I'm not a vendor on here so don't get me into shit.. If you wanna know price PM shinobi and he can give details. I won't answer any posts about $$$..

Non $ related question. How long does it take to make a headlight say for example like the R34 one? :)

^^ At this stage NO.. S3's for now

Look forward to seeing these, and will also put my name down for S2 R33 GTST lights as well if you decide to do them :)

Had a bit of a look at your evo lights, those and r34 lights are far better then most I see getting around

Steve - that's some epic stuff there. I was debating attempting something like this but had no idea if I could find someone adept at doing it - think that solves that problem :P

Will be eager to see how these look mounted up. Got them working with any tilt sensors or just aligned/calibrated once?

^^ the TSX projectors were mounted straight onto the OEM reflector and were adjusted via the factory adjustment points. No sensors were used.. I'm good but not that good..

Have a go at your own HLs... I'll give you much help as you need.. You just give me certain pix of your HLs pulled apart and I can guide you from there..

Callam: This particular HL took me about 4 days to build (on and off mucking around).. They're we're my first R34 set so I was learning the dynamics.. If I had a 2nd crack at it I reckon 1.5 full days... If I used a smaller projector like a Morimoto Mini H1 I could probably do it in one full day (less dremeling required).... Won't perform quite as good as a TSX unit but will still give you WOW factor over OEM...

f**k yeah that looks awesome

+1

I think I liked the lights with the silver outline around the lights, but still they look very cool all black.

You may have alot of people here annoying you about lights now :P

I'd like to give it a go, but I'm afraid it would either look dodgy or I'd ruin a set of head lights. Nearly bought a cheap set a while ago but the creative side of my mind is pretty average :P

There's a dude in the UK that modified his S1 headlights... Looks very OEM! If it were my HLs I would have blacked out the E46 shroud... I hate chrome!!

S1 and S2 headlights can be had cheap if you keep monitoring Yahoo Japan / Import Monster

I just picked up a set of R34 HID set for $550 shipped. Waiting for shipment from Japan..

Callam, this is all you need for your set:

* RHD Morimoto Mini H1's. Small projector will mean less dremeling to fit

* E46 Shrouds 

* H1 HID kit

* Low beam adapters + High beam splitters

* JB Weld

Buy a 2nd set of HLs and I'll guide you step by step via txt / email..

I've done it before with 2 guys from the US..

^^ the balls in your court.....

I have an engine to finish, but after thats project is done I might just have a go at it :)

I'd cut mine up but they are only 5 years old and in to good condition lol

I have some links now at least. gives me a chance to look into it

Hi headlight guru.

I am looking to do this to my r32 gtst skyline later on during the year and was wondering if I could ask you a few questions.

Would i get the same stuff or would I need some specific items?

I want to make it dual high beam and low beam if possible.

also would getting the kit from that website be better?

any help or recommendations is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
