well i know the new style bi-xenon's are actually all in 1 projector. Basically, when the normal lights are on, the hi-beam is actually on as well, but shielded. But if you need to flick to hi-beam, it's ready to roll as the hi-beam is already on... it's just the shield that moves.

So basically hi-beam and lo-beam is on at the SAME time, it's just the hi-beam is always shielded when not needed.

From the look of your pics, you have 2 projects, 1 hi-beam, 1 lo-beam?

unfortunately i'm not handy enough to be retro-fitting Xenon projectors to my R34 headlights, although i wish i was. I'd prob have to source another set of R34 lights if i did even want to attempt it, as i'd imagine it would take me a while :rant: Would love to to do it though.... does change the front look of the car quite a bit though.

Does honda have a bi-xenon option? or would i have to get some new BMW/Merc/Audi bi-xenon projector?

That is correct, there is a solenoid which operates and moves the shield out of the way giving the full xenon lamp unshielded for full beam! :)

No, I have 4 x Bi-Xenon projectors, as in all 4 on for lo and hi beam!

I chose the Audi units because they are Bi-Xenon and because they are made by Hella and therefore fit most headlight units, the BMW ones don't fit in the R33 headlight units (Bi-Xenons that is). As for the Honda units, I don't know to be honest, it wasn't an option available to me at the time.

that is INSANE!!!!!!!! 4 bi-xenon projectors!!! you MUST put up some night time pics when you get the chance....

you must blind everything within 50km's of your car in a 180 degree arc :cool:

I'll take some pics early Feb when I get home.

They are bright but still road legal on lo beam, on high beam... they are just AWESOME!

Very rarely get other road users complain about the brightness - only time I get flashed is when going up hills etc when the shield cutoff falls or rises into oncoming drivers, oops.

Mine is a hand built 'Top Secret' tuning Japan/HKS 2.8 engine with HKS T04Z and OS Giken 6 speed sequential, all the work (engine fitting, fuelling and tuning) was carried out in the UK by Abbey Motorsport - just shy of 600BHP ATW at the moment.

Thanks, I made the lights because the standard halogen units are vey very poor at night!

Twin turbo Light house........hell not bad at all.... :)

have you guys who put xenon projectors into non-projector headlights (eg. R33) used a trim bezel or make a fibreglass surround?

got some close up pics of them with the lights off?

i take it all you boys from the UK found this thread from here?

Yeah mate followed the link^^^

Never bothered with any bezels, I just gutted the halogen lights and rebuilt them with the Bi-Xenons.

I played around with bezels at the time but they looked much better without them so I left them off.

Not that it would be a massive job to fit bezels though.

I'll post some close up pics when I return to the UK....

well here's how they look on the car.

i reckon they look like S2000 headlights a bit now.

I'm a bit worried that when they were assembled the cut off shield was put in upside down (ie. across the top of the projector instead of at the bottom of the projector), so the light once cut off and reversed by the convex lens allows light at the top and not bottom... (if that makes sense).

Will test them out and see if they've been done right soon...

wegs, seriously do a search man. I've done like a hundred threads on it. It'll be gay. that's it.

ronin, i'm not sure what you mean by havin gthe cut off shield across the top. If it is how I think it'll be, your light will be up, and the cutoff will be down the bottom, so it'll be reversed. THAT IS, if it is mounted how I think it is.

Cheers

MANWHORE,

remember that the lens flips the image upside down; like your eyes (your brain then reverses the signal from your retina so that it looks right-way-up).

So, if the cut-off shield is at the top of the assembly, the light is released at the bottom, then switched upside down by the lens and light will come out the top only.

Similarly, if the cut-off shiled is at the bottom, the light is released at the top, switched by the lens, and only light is released at the bottom (correctly.

I think we've put it together the right way :)

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
