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?

    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
