Yes I know it has been covered, but my questions weren't answered.

Does anyone local with Xenon headlights still run them?

I've got a set which will obviously be removed for compliance and am wondering whether they're worth keeping enough to switch the whole headlight units for factory halogen ones before compliance, or whether to just let the workshop modify them to halogens and not go to the trouble.

Obviously, if someone has factory halogen lights lying around, PM me.

Xenons aren't ADR approved.

The only reason European ones get them through is cause there are so many and they are self levelling, e'g' if ur car is driving up a hill they will lower.

The rules are shit but they are an unbelievable invention.

the more colour in the globe the less actual light from the globe, e.g. 5000k white lights up the most, and 10,000-12,000k purple least light.

I can do custom installs if need be, and they are only suitable for projecting through a lense as the light needs to be focused, so u need r31 lights or r33 gtr lights. Or u could go and get vx calais lights and modify them to your existing.

no all R34s don't have Xenons - mine doesn't.

I have installed an aftermarket HID kit in my R34, which i had in my S15/200SX. They worked brilliantly in my S15, had a nice cut-off line and all was good.

However, as WWWDOT pointed out, my standard R34 headlights are not projectors, so the HID light looks very bright from the front and there is no cut-off line. I am considering taking WWWDOT's advice and modifying my standard lights to include VX Calais projectors. I am very worried about getting defected for them, as even though I have pointed them way down at the road, they are still very bright from an oncoming car's perspective.

hay guys, I ran a HID light system on my race bike last year. I had a single HID set up on a 7'' hella. Was the best money ive spent. Hid's provide the best light, and the whiter the light the clearer everything seems. I Used the light in the 24 hour and all the other road trials and they are just amazing. I cant wait to get some for my car!

i heard that some places actually keep your 34 xenon headlights in exchange for the halogen ones when they do compliancing? correct me if im wrong

i was told best enterprises does this.. so some ppl might of had xenons in their cars but had them taken out without knowing??

who did you guys go through for compliance??

    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
