Hey Mark are you planning on taking any proper nighttime shots of your projector cutoffs? Just curious how CBK set up your hi's - they used 4 TSX-R's right? Do you know if all four projectors are used for hi's or just the bottom two?

 

Whoops, just saw the first pic CBK posted with all 4 on against their garage wall. Sorry!

 

Sick car, dude.

Why ya selling the wheels?

 

selling the wheels because i have new ones already, don't have a lot of room left in my garage so i was hoping to move them fast.

 

We use Low Beams (upper two) for Highs.. We left out the lower two for 1 simple reason but we can configure all projector set ups to be dual bi xenon (upper or lower projectors are both do-able) or we can do quad bi xenon.


We choose, or actually Mark let me choose for him lol, to do only low beam because you'll generally ALWAYS have your low beams on at night and they'll already be warmed up. If you were to do quad bi-xenons all 4 would light up every time you high beam (even if the fogs, lower projectors, are off). Why we didn't leave it in OEM settings is because if only his fogs, which are not always on, were his high beams and he were to high beam someone when only running the low beams the fogs will need time to warm up before you get 100% output. IMO defeating the purpose of a immediate high beam.

^ I hope that makes sense. The ONLY downside to this set up is that if Mark has his quads on and he high beams his fogs will temporarily switch off until highbeams are switched off.

There are ways around this but this is as plug and play as we can do it without over complicating the install processes. As of right now Marks setup only require you to plug into oem harnesses and run one positive from the battery -> Passenger headlight -> Driver headlight.

 

Hey, while we're on the subject...

What's the method for enabling fogs with highs?

I know on my Trans-Am it was as simple as cutting the light green wire under the fuse box and grounding the harness side.

I could look up the schematics in my Haynes manual or FSM... but if somebody has already figured it out, it saves me some doing.

 

Looks good mark. One reason you can't stay with oem set up is the power is all set up thru the bcm. You can't have the fog as the low and hi for the bixenon due to the fog power kicking off everytime the hi comes on so no light would be on just the solenoid moving. Lots of different ways to wire them up but its all up to the customer.

 

I don't believe there is a way unless u can find a way to bypass the bcm or use kp technologies module to just use the fog switch

 

^There has to be a way. Even if it's using a jumper and another relay, because there should be a relay for the lows/highs/fogs. The BCM couldn't take the full brunt of them all unless it had some substantial relays built-in, and that would be a stupid design (relay goes bad and you're out a BCM???)

Just checking with Eric since he said it could be done, maybe he had more info.

 

Anything is possible. I said u could use kps fog module. That just bypasses the bcm but still uses the oem fog switch. Have u pulled apart a bcm. Its rather simple but yet I believe all the power for accesories goes thru it

 

Oh well back on topic. Hey mark would u ship those wheels?

 

stephen if he still has these wheels in october i will buy them for you to make my car pretty again lol

 

Wife's Brembos finally on

 

Wow!!! Nice...what wheels are thoes? Thoes are some good wheel lugs.... i would love thoes in red can you send a link?

 

thanks, they're just the 30th Anniversary 350z 18's w/Rays extended lugs
