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

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
