Osram 4000K W5W LED with Philips 85122 bulbs.

Hey Niz,

Are these the exact options you selected for your retrofit?

Loved how yours looked, planning on doing this to my projectors.

Cheers in advance dude.

Yep same projectors and D2S bulb. I used a different ballast (a fast start one from eBay) and made my own harness. Don't need sealant as I used to existing one (just re-melt), but it's probably a good idea to get the sealant if you scraped off the old sealant.

Did you post details on the ballast already? I would be interested - finally going to get the lights sorted (possibly halos). Nice timing with the lesser Aussie dollar which is my loss.

Did you also use an E46 shroud of some sort?

No shrouds.

In my GT-R I have IIRC these ones.

OEM is obviously better, but these are quite good for aftermarket, reliable as well. I tried some cheaper 'Hylux' or 'Hyluxtek' ones from ebay, they were noisy and weren't as quick as the one above.

Ah - thought the Morimoto XB35 ballasts were instant on as well? What's burning time to get full output?

Does choosing a more powerfully rated Ballast make a difference to setup? They have the option for Morimoto 50W ballasts - but all I can think of is more efficiency rather than anything truly meaningful.

Anyone here use the Osram Xenarc CBI (5K or maybe 5.5K) - just white and bright apparently. Scared to try because of brightness and the fact that it does cost a fair bit.

No idea of their new stuff, but the old Morimotos weren't quick, took like 15-20 seconds. Build quality is pretty good though.

I'm guessing their newer stuff with the separate igniters make them quicker.

Stick with 35W ballasts, don't need any more than that. The higher wattage ones burns the bulbs brighter (hence burns them out faster).

There is an existing thread for installation of Morimoto Mini D2S 4.0 so I won't go into that, but here's Mini D2S 3.0

Instead of trimming the 'bracket', I'll use a 'spacer', which also will bring the projector slightly forward (a good thing).

Are you trying to squeeze that into the R32 headlight body?
If so, I'm bloody impressed and will look awesome if you can make it work.

 

Sorry this is in an R34, but this was the only update retrofit thread i saw :30_no_mouth:

 

Can remove if you guys only want this R32 specific

How are people ensuring that the lights are at an appropriate level and not blind other drivers?

 

Mine looks ok close but steps up when far? Not sure if normal or not?

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
