I always thought the lights were good enough right up until you posted that picture.

Thanks for that.

Lol really?

 

The butchered headlights from compliance is really bad.

Lighting is really poor at night. And on roads trips felt a bit dangerous without always using high beams

Compared to driving the wifes car with xennons its a massive difference

 

 

Just fit some 50w HIDs

Blind everyone else in your pursuit of visibility

Never had so many flashing lights from drivers in the other direction

Have to drive with high beams on because low beam is too bright

The number of people with unfocused headlights or driving with high beams on seems to increase every year. If I'm getting hit in the eyes sitting tall in the hilux, can't imagine what it's like in a low car.
Doesn't matter in the Gloria, tint is too dark.

Maybe they just see the wheels as a disposable/wear item?

It would certainly speed up multi story car park navigation or lead to increased kerb crawling opportunities.

This.

I preferred fake rims as I never had to care.... ding one and pay $250 for a new one, or just roll with the scrapes.

Having real rims I was always too scared of carparks

Melbourne has the worst multi storey carpark I've ever seen

Hamish will know which one I'm taking about

It's about 8 stories high and can only fit about 18 cars on each level. Thing is a fkin go kart track. You just about have to do 3 point turns to turn up and down its steep ass ramps, with your head out the window to make sure you won't clash with concrete walls covered in other people's bumper paint.

Which one? I am confuse

Whos done projector xennon retrofits on their car?

 

Bout to do one on the R34

 

 

I had them done on the EVO, well, not me but the previous owner... I absolutley hated them at night as they were HELL directional and you couldn't see a f**king thing that wasn't straight in front of you. - simon will confirm i'm sure.

What brand components was the retro fit?

Big difference to installing a hid system to exisitng system and installing a proper retrofit kit

In a lowered Skyline you get blinded by parkers let alone anything else

He will.

Completely black off to the side... but anything that was straight ahead of you would be laser beamed... The majority of the light stayed down where it should, but some strayed up. Turned Eastlink Signs into Bright Neon Reflectors from about 2km away, i was always shocked to see how much light they were putting out.

When I turn on my HIDs people laugh at how bright they are, then 5 seconds later they finish warming up and the laughter turns to concern

My mate's old 4wd had these huge spotlights and lightbars on the front, with a switch inside labeled "Zombie Lights".

Standing a few meters in front of it you could feel the heat radiating from it. Was afraid of starting bushfires ;)

Yet I was still more paranoid driving past police at night with slightly less than legal HID's

I pulled up behind a copper at like 5am in the EVO... you could literally see the inside of his skull being fried in the rear-view mirror.

He was squinting like a real estate investor but still didn't pull me over

    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.
    • post up screen shots of your injector tables
    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same.
