Hey all! Wondering if anyone knows where I can get halogen globes for my R33. It's the 4door GTST Type M model.

I've got the main globes (H4s), but I need the ones that light up the road when you indicate, and the ones that sit in the spoiler next to the indicators.

I've bee told they do make them, but don't know where to look.

Cheers. :Bang:

in the 4 door r33's when you turn a corner an extra aux light lights up the are you are turning into so that you can see ahead so to speak

very speccy

but strich he also wants the fog light globes too

umm PULP i would ring paul atr autoworx in wangara.. he will know what globes you need as he has done a few 4 doors in his time.. likewise a few 4 door owners will chirp in shortly

on the plastic of the headlight itself.. the black back area it should list what bulbs are required for each socket?

Thanks RiaZ,

Yeah I was trying to reply to Strich lastnight but there was something wrong with the website.

Yeah aint a bad little feature, just trying to match up all my globes as it looks unfinished with just one set changed.

I'll give Paul a call anyway, thanks for that!

:) Yeah mate they do, well mine does anyway. Unless it's only a series 2 thing I wouldn't know. Never taken notice if it is the same with older models.

I called Paul from Autoworx, and he wasn't 100% sure if they made white halogen to replace the globe, said to try Repco.

oh great

did he tell you what kind of globe at least like an h1 or what

cos i mean finding matching colour etc isnt too difficult.

the narva blue ones or something are actually just white with no blue whatsoever

dunno why they fricken call it that its off putting

i think its the same for the hella ones as well

Umm Kym, not really stand corrected.. i am pretty sure its a series II headlight feature on the 4 dorrs only thats why its that silver background and doesnt just take 2 h1 globes

so yeah when you go into a corner when indicating this AUX bulb lights the turn before you enter to allow for spotting hazards

now i'm sorry but these japs are just crazy

i think they figure the coupe owners will be going too quick to care about a light and they hit things all the time anyways so why bother with the expensive headlight

bwahahahaha

Yeah i have SII R33 and the courtesy lights are cool. but i had a SII coupe Indicator assembly put on mine before i got it and i dont have the indicator stalk swith for the fog lamps :rant:. Need to get it wired up. BTW that info on the globes would be interesting as i was thinking about the same upgrade, please post info if/when you get it :rant:

cheers

The SII R33 Sedan take the H4 globes out the front. They have two elements in them, one for normal lights the other for high beam. I think on 2doors you have a H1 for normal light and H3 for high beam. (Maybe the other way round!)

But the courtesy lights have a double conductor and the pins are offset from each other. I've seen them in a red colour, but I think that would attract some attention! I've got a guy in Northbridge checking for me, place called Cartronics, I'll keep you all posted pn what I find.

Catchas!

Hi again all!!

I found those globes for the indicator courtesy lights!

I tried everywhere in Perth, finally a place in East Perth called Carquest, Shop 9, 5 Short Street, guy there called Raymond. I've installed them and they now match my Super White H4 halogen lights.

I also got clear indicator covers from one of our sponsors, Import Scene.

Gregg from Import Scene helped me out heaps! They have these gear shifters as well, look fantastic in the car, go check it out!

Well Mirkz this guy in East Perth had alot of stuff like that.

The globes I got have a dark blue glass, when lit up they are super white with a tinge of blue. Don't really light up the road a blue colour.

My main head lights do though, well you can see a bit of blue on the road. like the new cars have. Go in and see him anyway mate.

    • Hey y'all! I'm curious about how y'all go about widebodying your cars. I noticed that when running a square setup, my front wheels are a bit more tucked in than my rear wheels. Not by much, maybe 5-10mm. This leads me to wonder - when I widebody, should I use narrower front flares and wider rear flares? I found a set of 40mm rear flares that I really like, and was thinking of pairing them with some 18mm front flares, but I don't want the car to look strange. How have others done this? Note, I'm in a sedan. Thanks!
    • And if it was anything other than an auto tranny part, it might be a problem. But seeing as all auto trannies belong in the recycling bin, it's fine.
    • I have an R32 Fenix rad. It is good.
    • All the schemas I can see, indicate your typical setup of ATF 'cooler' (read: heat exchanger) in the bottom radiator tank..ie; https://nissan.epc-data.com/stagea/wgnc34/5413-rb25det/engine/214/ ...but I can prattle on a bit here. These trannies have a thermistor in the sump ~ the TCU reads this and 1. bumps the line pressure up when the ATF is 'cold' and 2. prevents the TC lockup clutch from operating, until the ATF comes up to minimum operating temp (keeps the ATF 'churning' through the TC so it heats up quicker) -- trigger point is around 55C. In these conditions, the engine coolant temperature rises faster than the ATF temperature, and also helps heat the ATF up, which is why it's best to think of the in radiator tank setup as a heat exchanger ; the heat can flow in both directions... ...with these trannies, the 'hot' ATF comes out the front banjo bolt, flows through the cooler/heat exchanger, and returns to the box  via the rear banjo bolt. This gets a mention, due to the wildly different opinions wrt running auto trans fluid coolers ~ do you bypass the in radiator tank altogether, or put the cooler inline with the in radiator tank system...and then, do you put the additional cooler before of after the in radiator tank system?... ....fact is the nominal engine operating temp (roughly 75C), happens to be the ideal temperature for the ATF used in these trannies as well (no surprises there), so for the in radiator tank system to actually 'cool' the ATF, the ATF temp has to be hotter than that...lets say 100C -- you've got 25C of 'excess' heat, (slowly) pumping into the 75C coolant. This part of the equation changes drastically, when you've got 100C ATF flowing through an air cooled radiator ; you can move a lot more excess heat, faster ~ it is possible to cool the ATF 'too much' as it were...(climate matters a lot)... ...in an 'ideal' setup, what you're really trying to control here, is flash heating of the ATF, primarily produced by the TC interface. In a perfect world, wrt auto trans oil cooling, you want a dedicated trans cooler with builtin thermostatic valving - they exist. These should be run inline and before the in radiator tank system ~ when 'cold' the valving bypasses the fin stack, allowing the ATF to flow direct to the in radiator tank heat exchanger, so it works 'as intended' with helping heat the ATF up. When 'hot' (iirc it was 50C threshold), the valving shuts forcing the ATF through the cooler fin stack, and onto the in radiator tank heat exchanger...and you sort of think of it as a 'thermal conditioner' of sorts...ie; if you did cool your ATF down to 65C, the coolant will add a little heat, otherwise it works as intended... ...the 'hot' ATF coming from the front bango bolt, is instantiated from the TC when in use, so all/any flash heated oil, flows to the fluid-to-air cooler first, and because of the greater heat differential, you can get rid of this heat fast. Just how big (BTU/h) this cooler needs to be to effectively dissipate this TC flash heat, is the charm...too many variables to discuss here, but I just wanted to point out the nitty-gritty of automatic trans fluid coolers ~ they're a different beastie to what most ppl think of when considering an 'oil cooler'... /3.5cents   
    • Been a busy but productive day. Axle and hubs acquired. All fitted up after a bit of modifying. Need to sort out wider mudguards and running light reflector covers but other than that the trailer is gooood to go !!
