have any of you guys ever seen altezza lights for skylines?

im putting in projector lenses for my headlights, but its going to be a manual job, of using either vx commodore lenses or another kind. i dont want the lense to be too small as the larger the gap around will have to be. should make the xenon's look twice as good and light up more road than street signs and ambo's, but i can see a cop from 500m away.

apparently r33 series 2 GTR had xenon lights had the projector, but they're hard to come buy at a decent price, e.g. 400+ per light.

any comments would be appreciated.

and do you think they would look any good?

VIVA Garage have some clear tail lights, not too sure on the price, thinking about $800, havn't seen too many sets of them around! I would buy them but i have better mods to worry about than lights(the GO GO GO GO fast bits).

well the first thing people notice is with their eyes and ears so i thought cosmetics would be a good start.

also may make the car look newer, as the lights make the car look aged.

Well i picked up a right side damaged holden headlight from claridge, and am in the process of fitting the projector lense to the Skyline headlight. will post some picks up along the way.

need to order another HID set as the Holden takes a H11 globe.

so when they arrive, its all a matter of pulling apart the nissan headlight, using the existing silver surround of the holden lense and cutting it to fit into the low-beam of each headlight. its a pretty similar fit so should look good.

ive started the right side and ill let you know how it goes.

well its only labour. im using holden vy series lights and basically cutting the surround down to size. then u melt your healidht, unscrew the existing surround and fit this one in with a few cuts.

you could do it with any projector lense headlight, but it depends how neat u want it.

im getting the parts for free from a crash repair, and it looks like a 100grand merc when its at a set of lights.

replacement cost of the holden headlights is 360 each to buy so depends how much u want it, otherwise u have to wait for a crash repairer to get some. im still waiting for the left side to finish.

but u do need H11 globes @ 45 each otherwise a H11 HID kit at around 350-400

    • Wow ELVIS. You have an....interesting approach to conversation. Did you not notice that I wasn't talking to you?
    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
