well once I've converted my set and done the second set, I'll probably do the conversion on a one by one trade in basis (if I have any spare time).

So... you give me your headlight, I give you my converted headlight, then I convert your headlights, and give it to the next person that comes along and so on... and gradually I make enough money to fund a trip to the bahamas and I run away with the last person's headlight and money. :confused: I think.

Oh yeah the infinity headlights aren't ADR approved either :P for numerous reasons (one of which is there's no parking lights).

well its not really series 1 and series 2... projector headlights and non projector ones were always available. In the series 1 the non projector headlights was the standard. In the series 2 the projector ones were standard, with the exception of the poverty models (GTE, GXE, GXi). There's a difference in lighting between the two. But by todays standards they're both pretty poor.

With R32s projectors and Xenon HIDs I read in jap mags that the xenon bulbs tend to form shadows in the beam that they project...

I think you need a set of these Shan :rant:

Mercedes E55 Bi-Xenon projectors. Will be trying to retrofit them into the GT-R light assemblies I bought through you ages ago. Should mean I don't have any nasty shadow issues...

Interested to see how this project ends up. BTW, anyone know where you can buy JB Weld (its an adhesive) in Australia?

LW.

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
