Hi.

Just getting a R33 Series 3 GTR imported, it's going to compliance workshop soon.

They are going to have to remove the Series 3 factory Xenons to comply it, but I want to put them back myself later.

They don't give me much info on what they are actually going to modify on the wiring harness, see my goal is to keep the car as original as possible and reversible modifications. The first person I spoke to said way too much work and you cant convert back to Factory xenons once it's done without huge work.

Second guy who I'm dealing with did not say much, no idea what they will do to the car.

So I'm wondering for anybody that has done it, what is the easiest way to comply a R33 GTR from Xenons to lights that will pass Compliance, but to be easily reversible.

I was thinking it was as simple as buying a set of Series 1 or 2 Headlights bolting and plugging them in and that's it, but from what I understand or am being told there is big work to be done and not reversible unless ofcourse not True.

Would appreciate some info.

Cheers.

Everything is reversible. The supply to the xenons come from an igniter. All they are really doing is using the supply that turns the igniter on to supply the new globes. The plugs are different so they have to be cut and joined.

Easiest is just to swap the headlights over.

Recommend that when they cut the looms for you they rejoin it with a connector rather than soldering the wires so you can just change the lights back over, put a matching connector on the Xenons then all done.

MAKE SURE THEY GIVE YOU ALL THE PARTS BACK (including looms and plugs)!!! I'm sure they'd love to flog off the Xenons on you....

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
