I blew one of my white/blueish globes in my driving lights not sure what brand they are as they came with the car.

and they arn't the standard ones.

so I need to get a new set.

anyone know of a good brand to go with (phillips) or a model number.

any info would be awsome.

also any good places to get them from?

:):)

Um im not sure what that other poster is on about but philips look pretty white to me.

Im using Raybrig's but theyre a little hard to get over here. Phillips are just as good and you get them from Autobarn. They are the blue tinted glass to achieve the white look and are overpriced but thats what you get i guess.

My brother has Philips Diamondvisions on his Lancer and they are pure white. They are expensive but he bought them when Autobarn had their occasional 20% off sale.

As for Raybrigs, a SAU sponsor sells them:

They are cheaper than the high end Philips bulbs.

i run Narva +50%'s, and they're excellent, and bloody good prices too

I agree with Azzura, the Plus 50 variety, particularly for high-beam and driving light applications are the way to go.

You will need to know your bulb type.

Great visibility, pretty good quality. Definately better than the Philips/Narva crap out there.

Unless MTEC bulbs bear an E mark, hence ADR compatibility with 51, I'd not touch them, if they do,- then fine.

I'm think polarg now....i was in the market for phillips diamond vision but they are quite blue and are meant to hinder your vision at night.

They are not blue at all.

Pure white.

Which Raybrig globes do you use?? I'm currently using Philips Vision Plus. They improved vision greatly but aren't nice and white like I wanted. I was wondering how the Raybrig's compare brightness wise to standard globes? Better or worse?

    • Why are people so insistent on making dirty water?!
    • Fark what are the changes of that snapping like that, clean. Nek minnit, custom radiator goes in, with built in oil cooler like those discontinued PWR ones from yesterdeacades ago
    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
