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

    • 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.  
    • 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.
    • 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.
