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

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.

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
