RSX84 did you get anywhere by removing the lenses and cleaning the reflectors ?

I've just put 90/100's in mine for a monor improvement . To adjust the beam there are two stalk/screws one above the other which both adjust height ? I cannot seem to adjust the beams from side to side , any idea what gives ?

Thanks A .

Well guys, my first front cut had a special loom for the headlights. It provides a 30 amp bosch relay for every globe, coupled with IPF globes, I think the lights are outstanding.

The original globes that came with the front cut were 80 series PIAA, but the IPF's are equally as good and half the price. The loom is also about an inch thick, with all wires bound as one.

The new IPF globes are high output, low draw, which is the go now because of the lexan polycarbonate reflectors & lenses going into new cars today.

My H4's are 130/110 output but only draw 60/55. The H1's are 150 output and only 65W draw.

I also have a set of Ralliart H4's, that I'm yet to look at, but are 170/130 with 100/90 draw and these are considered very near H.I.D.

Maybe you should be looking at a setup like this.

And I have a Bluebird alternator set up (rewound) as 80amp, if someone wants to try playing with it. Prefer it to stay in Sydney as I would like it back sort of maybe.

Cheers,

Is IPF a brand or type of globe ?

Again can someone PLEASE tell me how to adjust the inner Takamon lights to the left so they dont point strait ahead . My car has thin std headlight wiring , but short plug in sections of heavier gauge wire . Are all 84 models the same ?

Cheers A .

Adrian,

IPF is the brand name of the globes. They are a Japanese auxilliary light manufacturer just like PIAA.

I bought the globes from 4WD Equipment on Milperra Rd Milperra, just near Flower Power.

As for adjustment, mine have 2 adjusters, same as standard MR headlights. Maybe yours are stuffed or broken.

Cheers,

D

If your getting good lighting fom the Tekamon's yours is the only one .

I just had a thought , my inner lights have two adjusting bolts and they both make for up or down . If I screw them BOTH in or out the beams should move from side to side ...... :Oops:

There may be a set of R30 camber adjustable strut tops up for grabs soon .

Cheers A .

a week ago we wired in a setup for relays ect, and made a huge improvement, even on the standerd Artuic blue bulbs.

Im currently using 3 30amp Relays and so forth, 150/130 high/low beams and only 100w high beams. and i tell it IT THROWS the light,

Ive noticed on all R30 head lights the reflectors turn black or brown, and the plating comes off :S, would chrome dipping the reflectors help ?

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
