My R34 is on its way and recently Ive just learnt that it comes with factory xenons. Many thanks to the new import laws, now they would be modified and changed to halogens in the compliance process :P . Does anyone have a spare set of R34 halogen lights lying around that I can borrow for a few weeks so I can use it to comply the car, or know anywhere I can hire them.On the same topic did most of you guys that had imported a 34 in Perth get to keep your factory xenons.

Any advice would be great :P because I really want to keep the xenons.

My factory xenons are still sitting at home.

If I knew how they were originally installed I'd probably do it as the compliance halogens are dim even compared to other halogens.

I don't think the compliance ones cost all that much, maybe $120?

Im guessing they didnt modify your headlights to fit the halogens, at least you still got to keep your xenons. Yeah for sure mate the xenon looks heap better, im sure someone on SAU would be able to help you on the installation. Haha if only they are that cheap I was told the halogen lights are around $500 each.

My halogens are just glued inside the original headlights.

If you don't manage to get a compliance headlight kit talk with your complaincer and work out if it's legal to remove the headlights before delivering the car to them.

Mine were effectively destroy because legally they have to, I just got to keep the left overs.

They probably can be repaired but I don't know if anything is missing from them as I don't have the instructions they used to remove them.

Ohh I see, so they did destory your xenon cause I thought they just took it out and installed a set of halogens on your car. Alwell wish I had got off my arse to import a R34 before the new law came in haha.

i been stoped heapsa times by cops tryina yellow sticker me for some parts they dont even know what.. however only one cop noticed my r34s lights xenon and told me he will sticker me for it i told him this is what they come with stock and this is how the car has been complied he assured me it was not the stock and told me he will let it go but i need to change them.. i do have a permit for all the parts that they recond i needed permits for at the pits. just try to take ur lights out b4 they get distroyed my friend these lights are real nice specialy when highbeemin :D

good luck with the car and compliance..

they dont destroy the parts anymore they give them to the customer so once complianceis passed tya can put emback on

drmafia - How did you get to keep your xenons? Did you take them out before compliance and replaced it with halogens? Because I was told I needed a set of halogens to keep the xenons and they arent cheap haha. Yeah technically they are stock just print out a spec sheet of the r34 keep it in your car and show it to the cops next time they try to have a go. Yeah for sure makes a big difference lucky u got to keep yours buddy.

gazza750 - Oh sounds like a peice of cake mate haha, but I was told unless I get a set of halogens they would have to modify the headlight. So I dont think I can just replace the xenons back correct me if Im wrong.

did i say it sounds like a piece of cake ? all i said is that they do not destroy them like they used to they give them to the owner

i think it depends on the workshop doing the compliance and how they have been passed... i read on one of these posts on this giant SAU of ours something to that effect.

so if they originally did an r34 compliance by destroying the lights then that is the way it always has to be done...

but heck i am no raw

did i say it sounds like a piece of cake ? all i said is that they do not destroy them like they used to they give them to the owner

I didnt say u said that mate, all I was implying is that you make it sound easy thats all :ermm: . When complying the car they have to modify the headlight therefore even if they give me back wats left of the parts I wouldnt be able to just simply convert them back to xenons. If it was that simple I wouldnt be going through this process of trying to find me another set of halogen headlights :D .

Alwell wish I had got off my arse to import a R34 before the new law came in haha.

The lights had to be changed under the old rules too.

My R34 was one of the first and no one was converting them yet so I bought a new set of Halogen lights off Nissan for about a $1000 then changed them out and sold the Halogens on for about $700.

That's an option. I don't believe these modded lights are tested or a long term proposition but that's my opinion only of course.

R34 - Oh I see I thought under the old rule they let you keep the old xenons. Dont think i have a 1k lying around since the car has already killed my bank balance. But im really keen to keep the factory xenons.....

hey champ.

the place where you are getting your car complied should have a set of original R34 lights as the car was not factory standard with Xenon. If they dont you will have to source a set and borrow some as in NSW that they pull off the Xenons for complience. If it is a GTR your front bar has to come off to put them on. Its a bitch pulling the bar off and then back on

Im pretty sure all gtt comes with factory xenons from Jap. Nah the workshop where im getting my 34 complied dont have a spare set that why im trying to find a pair. Wish I was getting a R34 Gtr dont we all :(, just one powerball.......

I have just this weekend hooked back up the xenon lights in my 34. I thought the old halogen globes looked ok, but man what a difference! The xenon’s are champion! The compliance mob just left the xenon system intact etc, they just unhooked them. They put in an adapter type plate that fits into the hole that the xenon globe originally fits into. And wired up a normal halogen globe. So it can be done with your xenon headlights. There should be no need to put in different headlight assemblies etc. And like what the other guys said, i think it just depends on who is compliancing the car and how by they book they are.

Cheers for the info Luke, nice looking R34 you have there :angry: if thats yours in your avatar. Yeah definately mate makes a huge difference, the halogen globes sucks compared to the xenons. Can you pm me which workshop complied your car ?

    • The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.
    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
