still dangling the carrot...

found these even more ricey headlights on Yahoo... not conversion to HID but shows what a black surround looks like

they went for the 5 series BMW 'halo' type light as well...

PS and I don't like the way the LED park lights are circular... I think it takes away from the 'stockness' of the retrofit...

Heheheheh got 2 sets on their way fron japan....

well thanks to Troy (ylwgtr2) for buggering around with the plug so we don't have to butcher the back of the housing.

Fired them up for hte first time last night - they look awesome - but didn't have my camera...

so we'll have finished pics on the car when the car gets assembled :dry:

so close now...

I'd love to try this as well. My questions are:

Is it easier & cheaper to source a set of GTR headlights from importers such as Slidewise Imports, or source them locally?.

What projectors would you recommend eg S200, Accord, Euro etc??? i.e. is there any differences between honda projectors & car models??

I already have a set of H3C HID's fitted (not happy with them though), do all R32 GTR lights take this fitting??

    • I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.
    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.
