Check ur connections, it might be loose. If it's not that, if u have a volt meter, see if ur voltmeter fluctuates. Is there anything that causes it? EG: hard acclerations, ur sound system too lound? Could be ur battery starting to die. Check that u have enough battery water too.

Cheers!

If you're using a H4, as ben said, it's already inside? But i don't see how. If you bought it from ben, and he didn't give u a set, then i think u should ask him for 1. If u bought ur kit from someone else and ur kit didn't come with a relay, then i guess u can make do without it. Different specifications.

ABout that flickering and stuff. You know the back of the ballast bracket how there's a bolt that goes through to hold it to the ballast box, well if that bolt touches metal surfaces will it short, could that be the prob?

Yeah that could very well be the prob! Imagine, if ur car is bumpy and ur ballast is jumping up and down, it occassionally touches the ground, and u get ur flickering. try padding it wit something, and try to secure ur ballast properly so that it dosen't shake/vibrate that much. =)

P/s: Pulp, have you found out the problem with the flickering ?

Oh sorry I was only asking in regards to the other guy who had the flickering problems ;) Thought that may have been something to look at. Man I haven't had a chance to install mine yet! Going to make up a bracket for the ballast boxes.

Oh okies... haha i'm gonna get mine installed tomorrow after my exams, problem is, i don't have a drill. :( So i've gotta go to some workshop to borrow their drill and drill the f**k out of my caps. :lol:

Dude, just head to WA salvage. I got my drill for $12.99 ages ago, and a box of about 20 drill bits for $4. They work fine on plastic, everything else and the drill bits arent that good, but for that money, cant complain

Got my hid installed, took 2 hrs, and am quite happy!! The only problem is... My lens is too dirty/oxidised!! The inside not the outside... and now my parkers really look oxidised. FUG. Back to the ol drawing board.

About the flickering that was happening the other night. I've checked all the connections and its all fine and I used cable ties to hold almost everything in place, so I don't think there's any short circuiting.. I then checked the battery water and noticed that it was very low - so I think it's that. Just topped up the water tonight

It only happened during one trip a few nights ago when the car was idle and when I was slowing down. Since then haven't come across it doing the same thing.. so hopefully it was just the water level in the battery. But will see how it goes now..

thanks everyone for trying to help :D

    • Yes, it will take a fair amount of solution but the sodium citrate + citric acid + detergent is cheap stuff. Use laundry detergent instead of dish soap if you want to reduce the bubbles, also you could just buy sodium citrate and add some citric acid to the mix until you get to a weakly acidic solution if you don't feel like dealing with all the bubbling generated by adding everything together. For a fuel tank you need quite a lot of distilled water but it's probably worth the effort.
    • Actually looks like a Nitrous setup now 😆
    • @robbo_rb180 I already have a NEO head on the shitbox 😎 Just needs beehive springs so I can rev it past the 8600 rpm limiter, then again pointless too, turbo is out of puff lol. Wen da gods let me win lotto eh?
    • Everyone I know with a90 supra at time attack aren't having issues with 3-5 fast laps so far and one is decent powered one too. Saw a k24 swapped 86 with a 8hp70 and big slicks and aero which had no drama's at QR and Manton Park. I've stuck a 25 row cooler in my setup with 8hp45/50 in the hopes of keeping the oil cool as I plan on some racing next year that 20-30min sessions. I've also geared my car so won't be using 7th and 8th gear too. @Dose Pipe Sutututu just needs to get that samsonas in already and have that tassie guy fit a head and rev it too 11ty thousand rpm. 
    • My embedded systems thoughts have me sitting with GTS on this. Variation between same phone hardware, should be small. However, the internal "intensity" or "volume" amount that say Google passes to the app, will be quite different, as the underlying hardware will be passing different levels for the same volume to the Google OS. Until the app creator has had each individual phone, and set benchmarks and calibrations for each, the amount of error can be quite huge.   It can even be observed by using different phones, recording the same noise, and then playing it back, they end up soon ding different. A big reason for it, is even the different types of mics used in phones have different responses, and different frequency ranges. Then you need to get into the DSP, and the variations in those, their sample rates which then effect their frequency range, and then the quality of the DSP, and what type of hardware conversion they do to for the ADC within the DSP. Oh, and let's not forget at the low level phones are designed to cutout loud sounds. It's one of the reasons they suck in really loud environments (eg concerts). The louder you yell, the more you'll get cutout too Note DSP is Digital Signal Processor ADC is the analogue to data converter. I don't have any real data on what the variation would truly be, however, chat GPT says in general, their output is typically between +/-2dB to +/-5dB of what you're really measuring. So realistically, anything from 4 to 10dB variation is possible even with the same devices.
