R32 Gt-R Headlight Globe Wattage Please

[Aussie_Delivered_R32_GTR]

Hey Guys,

Can someone tell me what is the OEM wattage of R32 GT-R headlight globes?

I need both low and high beam ones.

Thanks,

Bob.

Bob you'll need to specify the model.

There's pre 91, post 91 and N1.

Ok....... I need both pre and post 91's for my ADM and V-Spec2.... N1 not so important.

I know the High beams are the same H3's and the Low beams are H3c and H1 respectively but I want to know the wattage.

Thanks,

Bob.

Highs are 85W I think? I'll check on the weekend. Lows should be 55W

Bob from my rocket>

Pre 91:

Low H3 55W

High H3 55W

Post 91:

Low H1 55W

High H3 55W

I've seen some owners go to the 100W H3.

I'm not keen on overloading the system.

Thanks guys........ I just need it confirmed, were they OEM H3's at 55w or 85w high beams?

Thanks,

Bob.

I have three pairs of R32 headlights and all came with same 85W bulb.

Top: JAPAN

Bottom: JA12V85W

No idea if they are OEM or a popular 'upgrade'.

What do the pins looks like, H3 or H3C?

_{The 85W bulbs are std....... I had it checked out with Nissan yesterday.}

_{I bought some "you-beaut" Phillips globes as the cars going back to Unigroup on Monday and I figured they can throw them in for me but..............}

_{In the box of goodies I got from the previous owner there is a pair of H11 globes and a pair of HB3's..........}

_{I'm hoping that it's just a coincidence (and error) that he gave them to me as I can't see anywhere our cars taking these globes.}

_{A post "91 car should be H1's and H3's and these are for my V-Spec 2.}

_{This is what I bought, I couldn't get The H1's in 85W bar Nissan and I wasn't going to pay $77.00 for a pair!}

_{I could get 100W but it's risky putting more load on the wiring.}

_{I got these 55W but with extra 60% coverage according to the box! How often do I use high beam....... Not often.}

_{Hopefully they all fit.}

Bob did Nissan check the factory fitment in Japan or the upgrade as fitted to the Aus model?

The Aus model had 85W fitted as part of the changes to suit our "challenging" driving conditions.

I've only seen 55W in my 32's, even the N1 has moderate wattage of 60/55W in their H4 bulbs.

Hmmm...... Good point....... My parts guy knows I have 2 cars but may well of quoted based on the ADM.

Maybe the later cars got this upgrade too?

I'll know more tomorrow after they hopefully fit what I will give them.

I'll let you know.

I probably should have just looked in the owners manual instead of digging bulbs out of suspect headlight assemblies !!!

[niZmO_Man]

Sif put "regular" 55W bulbs in a GT-R

Maybe Nissan realised how crap the projectors were and decided to 'upgrade' the highs instead .

Well...... That's our answer well done........ I think. What does the 2 and 4 mean on the top two lines?

Thanks,

Bob.

My handbook is for all model Skylines and I think sedans had a combination headlight which used the H4, thus only 2-headlights.

My car has individual low beam lights and high beam lights, thus 4-headlights.

I can't read Jap, so I'm just guessing.

The next light below (with the H3 12v/55W) would be for the fog light.

But Bob your question is doing my head in.

Handbook says H1 on high beam.

To my knowledge R32 projectors use either a H1 or a H3C on low, but they all use a H3 on high??

[niZmO_Man]

Yeah H3 highs.
