Hey guys,

Just toying with the idea of one day getting a HID kit (probably late this year early next year when I go to J-land).

Stock headlight globes are H11's right?

I've changed mine to accept H4's but would prefer to stay stock where possible.

Anyone using HID?

If not can someone please confirm H11's are the stock ceffy bulbs?

(Just talking about low-beam here)

If I recall correctly - last time I looked at the bulb holder - it looked like there was a clip that would hold almost any bulb into place, then the connector would be plugged in.

Anyone know if H1's will fit the holder? (not worried about the connection/plugs cos I can modify later).

I'd be greatly appreciative if anyone could answer that as it would save me buying H1s just to see if they fit so I can order my HIDs.

Thanks.

would you like to share some info on that? price, where from, brand etc...

just changed my stock bulb... piss weak... especially after been driving my mum's commodore for few months (commodore = f!@#$%ing strong high beam + more than adequate low beam :( )

The cefiro now has HID !

Just finished installing it.

Bought up a H1 kit from BATMBL (http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=70411) Kaixen Korean one - I couldn't afford German so I bought the next best thing.

I don't have a digicam atm so can't take pics but I was using philips bluevision which were a lot better than cheapo bulbs in there and the HID is now better still.

The main aim was to get better lighting - which I think I've achieved, they're not quite as bright as I imagined but I think that's got to do more with my power supply than the kit itself. Haven't adjusted where the projector points to so won't know till tommorrow night :D

but right now I'm very happy.

My headlights are stock - I just added an extra wire to accomodate H3's - this doesn't really come into play when fitting H1's.

I'd highly recommend to grab this H1 kit from BATMBL at the price he has it to clear. Either that or order a H3 kit.

I got the H1 because I couldn't go past the price and the modification is so minor - it's just melting/filing some of the bulb 'skirt' (which is plastic) to fit into the bumps/shapes in the H3C/H3 cefiro headlight holder.

This isn't too hard but I had to do a bit of trial and error, which, admittedly damaged a part of it but that was because I was scared to shave/melt off too much of the skirt rather than doing too much. It works fine anyway and I know how to do it now :D

If you bought the kit I'd be happy to help you mod it or modify it for you. It would take me about 10-15mins so you could just bring em round or something.

For the moment I'm holding my recommendation - I took the car on the road today and the new lights seem not very bright at all.

I think I'm having issues just because I'm using the H1 kit in the H3 lights - BATMBL suggested something about the placement which affects the focus of the bulbs. I'll take a look at tommorrow or the day after (most probably tommorrow night as I'm dying to see these work).

I'm hoping that it will fix this so I'll let you know :P

Ok. It's official BATMBL is a champ heh heh.

He checked out the bulbs for me and saw that the H3 bulb focus points are about 1cm difference from the H1 kit (now that's service!).

So this means for all us cefiro people we will need the H3 kit !!!

I am working it out with him about the kit so I will have my HID working but not for the cruise this weekend. Will update this post when it's all 100%.

Cheers

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
