Yeah, how shit were the halogen bulbs?

Headlights themselves makes a big difference. E.g. dad's Camry (last of the Australian made ones) has shit projectors in them. Upgraded H11 to H9, marginal. Threw in a "good" LED bulb, looks great/bright up close, is meh while driving (so if you're after just colour upgrade and output is same as standard, I can suggest a H11 for your projectors). Can't believe we didn't get the good Koito H11 projectors here.

Oh and that "group buy", the guy wanted me to transfer money to him directly instead of going through alibaba, no deal.

 

But yes looking forward to the output photos, I would love to be proven wrong but I haven't seen one single LED bulb that's an actual upgrade here in Australia.

I have the Narva high intensity high beams in the cruiser, the cheap ass low beam LEDs from eBay I had in it threw light as far down the road as my high beams, the only thing the high beams did was light the tops of trees up. And I'm talking the top of the tree, not halfway up the gum, just the top. The LEDs also lit the middle of the tree up. 

Only way to get more light was to flick the light bar on. Unfortunately it's more of a flood than a spot bar. Still got more distance and width, but not like I would if I ran the bar I put on the old boys Hilux. 

The current Phillips low beam halogens I have are rubbish.

What bulb socket/fitting? Also which car/housing?
FYI Narva are rebranded Osram @ double the price

In the 105 Cruiser, HB3  and HB4. Can't remember which is which ha ha 

Probably HB3, as most Japanese cars are. There's a nice upgrade for those high beam, 9011. I got a bunch of Toyota HIR1 (9011) that doesn't need any modifying, goes straight in with HB3 plug. It appears on our Tarago (JDM ones use HB3).

HB3 = 1860 lm
HIR1 = 2350 lm

It's the reason why the old Osram Rallye H7 was good, it had a H9 (2100 lm) burner (H7 is 1500 lm).

Yeah it runs a HB3, and a HB4, I just don't remember which one is high/low beam.
I'm assuming from the above HB3 is likely my high beam?

Yeah I'd assume so. But still, 90's headlights man, not working with much. LED can help IF the emitters are positioned in a way to focus off the reflectors, which basically means custom made bulb for your headlight (unless it's a fluke, impossible to happen).

Reason why Diode Dynamics in USA made LED bulbs for F150. They happen to work quite well in other headlights.

One of the important criteria for selecting LED lamps for a car is the specific base of the car. In this case, the base is designated similarly to standard halogen lamps.

This time I'm quoting the post I reported, so I can say "f**koff" to it.

Ban. Ban Ban. Bananannannanana ban ban.

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
