Attention UK Members with S14s - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

*nismo270r* · 11-29-2001, 10:32 PM

If there are any Zilvia members in the UK that have an S14 (like dave2u:)) I would like to ask a small favor of you.  I need to find out some facts about your headlights.  First of all, they are glass housings, correct? Also, what bulb type does it use for low beam and what kind for high beam?  I was also wondering if you could take some detailed photos of your headlights to send to me.  I would like to get some close up photos of the lights to examine.  I'm putting together the group deal for the Eurospecs, and I want to get some more facts on the lights.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

Awww...c'mon dave2u...I know you're gonna reply to this! :biggrin:

the H3 bulb is a bit different than what we have in the US, I hear that our H3 is easily modified to work.  

*nismo270r* · 12-01-2001, 03:16 AM

Ehh...what?  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>  So are you saying they use H3s?

alchemist · 12-01-2001, 07:20 AM

I'll try and find the post I"m talking about

teamcapsule · 12-01-2001, 11:22 AM

I live in Belgium and I also have a Eurospec S14.

Yes the housing is made of glass and we use both H4 and H3 bulbs... but I have to check to be sure.

*nismo270r* · 12-01-2001, 01:05 PM

Please do check...I'd like to know how it works...I've heard somewhere that the lowbeam uses an H1 like our '97-'98, but I don't think that's correct.

teamcapsule · 12-01-2001, 05:06 PM

ok I've got my manual in front of me...

It says...

Inside (high beam) 55W H3
Outside (High beam/Low beam) 60/55W H4

*nismo270r* · 12-01-2001, 07:54 PM

Ahh...okay.  Would you happen to have access to a scanner, or a digital camera?  I would like to see the page from the manual, as well as a pic of where the H3 bulbs plug into the headlight housing.  Here we use 9005's for the high beams.  Thanks!

teamcapsule · 12-02-2001, 03:09 AM

Here it is man:

*nismo270r* · 12-02-2001, 11:14 AM

Thanks for the pics man...I need to figure out how to wire the H3's up for the high beam when we get the Eurospec lamps over here.  I emailed you asking you some more questions.  I guess I'll wait to hear back from you.  Thanks again!

teamcapsule · 12-02-2001, 03:05 PM

no prob, I'll get back to you ASAP! Latest by Wednesday... if you don't hear from me by then, email me again as I might have forgotten about it already <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>  sorry mate. I havent been here for a few days. First i got  Aliens V Predator2. Then Ghost Recon . Then Colin Mcrae Rally 2 and a Thrustmaster steeringwheel and pedals and then on friday Return to castle Wolfenstein. So i`ve been a bit buzy .
Headlights?  er i`ve only had the s14a a few months so i wont profess to being an expert on it just yet but i know the downloadable manual is on  <a href="http://www.silviaaustralia.com" target='_blank'>http://www.silviaaustralia.com</a> in the technical section.

*nismo270r* · 12-02-2001, 07:09 PM

Hehe...no prob Dave...Thanks for the reply though...Hey man...You wouldn't happen to want to burn a copy of Mcrae 2 would ya?  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>  I've been looking all over for it, but no one has it quite yet.  I really want a copy of the WRC Rally game for the PS2, but too bad it's only been released in the UK right now!!  Well, I'll take a look at the site you posted and see what I can find out.  Thanks though!

I`ll have a look at it. Prob is i installed it cracked it and took it back. But i`ll have a look at it and see if there`s anyway i can burn the instal  so that it plays. I`ll email you if i can and you can send me your address.

(to any authorities viewing this thread of course i`m not serious i`m simply sharing an "in joke" amongst friends. I spend lots of money on games and deplore piracy in all its forms. Especially the type where they strip you , fondle your wife , kill you , throw you overboard  and pinch your boat )

DAVE2U u bastard stop making me laugh so #### hard!!

*nismo270r* · 12-03-2001, 03:38 PM

LOL....Yeah Dave....I'll drop you an email to see about that.  HEHE...Of course, if he actually does send me an "evaluation" copy if I like the game I will go out and purchase it from a local retailer and ditch the "evaluation" copy.  :biggrin:

*Grant* · 12-03-2001, 07:41 PM

u know it looks like they just modified out housings to fit HB3's rather than H3's.  But i think i can do without high beams.

*nismo270r* · 12-07-2001, 11:05 AM

What do you mean? Modified US housings to fit HB3? I forgot what HB3 was....HB BS...:) Is HB3=9005? IIRC, I thought HB3 is a H4? Shiet...I don't remember...

BTW dave and teamcapsule...any word on those pics? Sorry to be pushy...:)
