Hi guys,

I know this is a touchy topic, and no I'm not trying to get the Audi A5 look or anything, but I do like look of LED driving lights...so what do you think of it on a R33 GTR with genuine Series 3 front bar? Below is a pic of what my car's front bar looks like and the type of LED lights I'm after...has anyone done this to their car and any pictures?

Any specific types you would recommend? The R35 GTR has factory optioned ones and looks awesome...I want me a pair!

Cheers

Kev

I have some on my car but dont have any photos up

Side mounted smd leds , mounted under the factory headlight , the waterproof strip is a couple of mm thick so nearly invisible when off

You can buy them from autobarn , think the brand

Was autotecknica for about 25 bucks a pair, clean bright white colour no blue hue

There is ADR rules for DRL lights of 18watts I think so bewarned , no blue hue either

They look good and dont detract from the normal style since you cant see them off they blend into.r34 headlight underside between the bar and light , 33 would be the same look

i thought of getting some for my 34 also, but not too sure now.

i remember seeing one few years ago in the city but it looked pretty tacky. But maybe it was just the stupid artwork he had on it with dragons and crapl lol.

Troy, think you could put up a pic or 2 of what yours looks like?

Good luck understanding that drivel ;)

Vehicle Standard (Australian Design Rule 76/00 - Daytime Running Lamps) 2006

i dont get the standard lol, that mean they're ok to run or nope?

They have to turn off or dimm when your headlights come on from what I was reading, I bought some off ebay the same shape as you have in the pics and the LED's kept blowing in them, if I was to do this again I would get the phillips DRL's, they have a kit that dims and also one that turns off when your headlights come on.

As with almost any LED product on ebay, they're run at too high a voltage for the product, they always need a line resistor to drop the voltage down to under 12v input, do this and they'll last.

Mine are super small pin head size leds , edge mounted not flat like eblow ones or the ones posted up a few years ago that got slaped on lower face of headlights

you can hook up a relay to switch them on and off for any situation thats not a problem

Iphones no photos but maybe this weekend I 'll take some

The vague ADR , I see many holes in it for police to read in defect

Here is the kits I was talking about..

http://www.invisions...rl-installation

These are indeed good and I have a contact that sells genuine stuff 20-30% off retail so may hit him up for a pair...but the thing is it has to look good or else it will jut be tacky...I like these better than the plastic bendible ones...looks cheap as...

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      Could it really happen......

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
