I saw one for sale in sa  a few months ago. Missed out by 10 minutes haha. How does it sound?

Sounds very good inside the car but I haven't heard it from outside yet haha

So decided to just bite the bullet and order the Supertec R35 Brake adapters so they will be ready to be installed on the car after my next track day in June.

Seriously the quality of these things is insane and they are so light yet solid!

Also received this special box :D

I've already got the Ikeya Formula front camber arms (-10mm version) and I needed the lower control arms to complete the front suspension setup to adjust neg camber and caster to my liking and ensure my new wheels fit properly!

Also picked up new inner and outer ball joints as the current ones are worn and torn.

And I figured my current headlights are pretty crap so I got these LED's which a friend has proven work really well..

With the stockies, I honestly can't see shit all and I want to be able to avoid all pot holes without needing the reflexes of a fox on speed.

@deongster runs them and he's very happy with them.

So I fitted one side to show the difference but I bought the wrong fitment for my car. The later models have H1 where the earlier ones are H3.

But you get the idea for what difference it will make.

Ikeya Formula Front Lower Control Arms are now fitted and functioning beautifully!

Now my front suspension setup is complete and no more purchases are needed, I just need to replace the couple of chinese rear arms with Ikeya Formula stuff and get the rear Ikeya LCA's aswell to complete the whole setup!

Yeah i run them with both my high and low beams... they make a world of difference - starts up instantly - unlike HiD's 

i also have the mod - where if you switch on the high beam the low beam stays on... so i get massive amount of light... doesnt blind anyone

Night time, find a while wall, level ground, take car back 7m, set your camera to 50 ISO, take pictures (one halogen one LED).

Here's a "3,000 lm/30W" LED vs. H11

Car was ~5m from the wall.

Not to shit on your parade, but I haven't seen a "good" LED bulb.
R32 projectors are shit house, best to get rid of them instead of trying to overdrive them with HIDs or have a scattered LED. Retrofit!

Remember, bright foreground != good lighting, unless you like to only see what's in front of your bumper.


Oh and the F3 Fastbright ballasts in my GT-R warms up Philips 85122 bulbs as quick (if not quicker) as my OEM Subaru Denso slim ones ;). $50 HID kit will always be shit compared to "proper" ones.

I also have relays/wires for the headlights ("anti-flasher" setup), lows operate independently to highs. If lows are on, they don't turn off when I high beam. If lows are off, they don't turn on when I high beam.

 

If you're so hell bent on LEDs, you can always put these in:

Koito LED lows from Japan.

    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
