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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
