bosimporting is where I got mine from. Michael is a champ - just PM him his nick is BATMBL - just let him know you're from SAU.

r32's use all sorts of bulbs - the one I installed in my flatmates car use H3/H3C's (same as cefiro). I've also heard of H1's being used to make sure you check before you order.

Just make sure you be careful with the high beams - the r32 high beams turn off the normal lights. This is NOT good for xenons. (I told my flatmate not to use his highbeams. He's happy).

You'll also be pleased to know silvia/skyline/cefiro projectors work very well with aftermarket kits and mine produce almost no glare and almost no hot spots - good ol' Nissan over-engineering.

Also - 4300k is the optimum colour - I use 6500k and that's just tingey blue.

I'm sacking the nissan projectors and retro-ing some Honda Euro HID projectors in... they're a bitch to do...

If anyone is interested, will post up some pics as I go.

Got the headlight apart at the moment, done some cutting of the euro HID projector and that's about it

This should probably go in DIY, but:

Headlight apart (sorry no glass pics):

Chrome headlight cover (being sprayed matte black) :D

Standard projector on left, Honda Euro on right (already cut an 'ear' off it)

As you can the Honda projector is shorter, and mounts further forward. Will have to fabricate a bracket for it to fit the standard adjusters... (in progress)

Cutting ears off Euro projector

Because the new projector sits so far forward in the assembly, i may have to cut the rear of the housing off and move it further back. If that's the case I'll plastic weld on a bit of PVC pipe with a press-fit lid on the back. Also, I need more diameter than the standard rear cap to get my fingers in to get the bulb out :)

I'm moving REALLY slow with this and probably won't get it done until xmas... so stay tuned

thats pretty cool about changing the pojector lights, but i can't be stuffed taking the time to do that

where does everyone buy their skyline light bulbs from? super cheap auto and repco don't have any that are the same as the jap ones.

i don't want to change it to hid or anything like that, i just want the brightest possible replacement bulbs, should i order them from nissan?

Nice work on the above. Good to see someone who will put in the time to try something new. Just becareful though because Xenon's are actually illegal here and so are modified lights that are not ADR approved. Not that any dumb cop is going to know the difference.

thanks elite - that's why I'm keeping them 'OEM' looking... by day no one would know any different except for the black surrounds instead of chrome :D

      Hypergear ATR45 SAT Turbo With addons (brand new - never used)

      Yeah pretty impressive hey, good to see quality products not over-shooting their prices. That's what drew me to buy the hypergear turbo, just a shame I've never got the chance to see it in action

      Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand.

      Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!

      Hypergear ATR45 SAT Turbo With addons (brand new - never used)

      By Danowner · Posted

      I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
