It is a factory option

But you loose it when it gets complied, unless you swap your headlights for a standard set before compliance

That is what I am doing at the moment with another Stagea owner

I think you mean lose

That's what they did to mine.

I can't believe how pathetic and yellow looking, standard lights are when you've gotten used to Xenon's.

Would be peeeerrrfect if the made the high beam spots xenon as well.

my question is why do they kill the xenon lights? especially when they are coming out as standard equip on bmw's and the like?

also does anyone else have the light height adjustment wheel down to the right of the steering wheel? and if so is it hooked up/does it do anything? as mine doesn't seem to do anything at all.

honestly, all aftermarket HID kits are shit. German parts assesembled in China ey. Let me tell you a story.

There is a company in Ballarat, it sells pots which are "made in australia". These pots are actually made in Malaysia, imported to australia and stickers put on them which say "made in australia"......think about it though.....the stickers ARE made in Australia....

the only way to get true HID's is to retrofit a headlight with OEM projectors. The standard headlamps if they are arnt designed to work with HID's just wont be good with HID's. I am sure S2's will be fine, but i am not sure I can say the same about S1's.

There is a really good website on my other computer, ill try and post it when i get that computer working again.

Mine has the light height adjuster and it does work - didn't think it did at first but one night tried it out again (out of boredom) and noticed they move up and down (subtle but they do move)

Would all S2 Stageas have had the Xenon's removed - would there be exceptions?

All Stagea's have to have the zenon's removed at time of compliance

The reason being they are not self leveling like the BMW's etc.

Which means the BMW lights should not shine in the eye's of on coming cars, but they still do!

The dial on the dash in the Stagea is designed for fine in cabin adjustment, for when the car has additional weight in the rear which causes the front end to rise, but unfortunitly this systems does not meet ADR's so the zenons have to be removed.

IAMSHE who is compling my car along with many other people's cars, has told me they have to cut the zenon bulbs wiring out and they are not re-usable.

So I am not sure how NIZMO do it.

Best way is to borrow a standard set for complinace and keep your zenon's, esp when they are approx $3000 new!

But you could get defected :O

cool thanks for explaining the reason behind the removal.

i was curious because i have a set of small triangular plugs floating around behind each headlight and was wondering if thats what they were for? they are 3pin plugs with the following coloured wiring

black

blue with white stripe

blue with red stripe

if anyone can tell me what they are for would be awesome?

the part number on the rear of the plug is 11016N6 if this helps?

Thanks Darrin for explaining that one. Another example of our design rules being rather unique, just like that dimmer switch for the dashboard lights that has saved so many lives :dry:

Just a shame the Xenon's had to go. I got my car from a dealer so no chance of saving them like you are doing

Cheers, Al

SO whats the easiest way at the end of the day for me to keep my OEM xenons?

I had them on my strawberry and I can't live with out them!!

DO I just tell the compliance workshop that you can take them out completely and i'll supply OEM headlights for it?

or if i was to borrow a standard set, would I have to do it behind the compliance joints back so to speak?

Cheers.

      Yet another RB Neo misfiring thread after reading all the others.

      By uchoa · Posted

      Hey folks. I've been lurking and browsing the forum for a while, since I got into my head that I wanted a skyline. Having purchased an overpriced completely stock GTT, (only "mods" it has is HKS pod filter and catback) now that it became legal in the US, it was all glorious and sututu noises here and there. But then I wanted to do things right and went to do basic maintenance. After all the fluids, filters done, I did the spark plugs, that's when the problems started.. First the car started spluttering at around 4.5k RPM. Which I gapped down the new plugs and that solved the sputter there, but the car now always misfires at idle with pops when lifting off and shifting 2nd to 3rd. Similar to the issues in this recent thread. I've been banging my head against the wall, reading the threads here and trying suggestions for a couple months now, so decided to start this one to explain exactly what I tried and what is going on. The symptoms of the issue: Idle and low revs misfiring intermittently. You can hear the exhaust tone change and the shakes on the shifter knob. It happens frequently, but doesn't seem to have a rhythm to it. Pops when backing off throttle. It pops and or burbles almost feels like it spits fire when it pops. (Happens mostly in 3rd gear at around 2k RPM). When under load and after 6k RPM, it also pops when shifting from 2nd to 3rd. There's a ticking noise at around 2k RPM in 2nd gear going downhill, seems unrelated though but I am out of educated and downright dumb guesses. Not noticeable lack of power when putting the car into load. The attempted diagnosis and solutions: Unplugging coils when the car is running This did nothing to change the idling and tone shift for every cylinder. Checking the exhaust headers with thermometer They all are within what I'd say it is margin of error of the laser thermometer New spark plugs Tossed two new sets, copper, iridium and using the old ones, still misfiring, even re gapped to 0.8mm, still same thing. MAF cleaned with the "specific" spray cleaner No changes in the issues what so ever. Brand new loom and r35 coil conversion (was going to add the r35 coils anyway) car runs arguably better, still misfires, but seems like does less frequently. Placebo? Code 21 now being thrown, thanks nissan gods. Removed the CAS to check the shaft for play or anything. CAS seems all fine, nothing that indicates any issue, visually speaking. Things to attempted next: Ordered a new MAF (chinesium from Amazon, to be able to return regardless of result). Fuel with proper gas, maybe it is this California water that they sell as gas that is to blame? Plugin the link ECU and check the info using the built in base map. Go back to BMW and eat my rob bearing breakfast without milky oil mixture.   Do any of you have experienced anything like this or have any suggestion?

      Hello! I had a mid life crisis on a budget and coincided with the R34s being legal in the USA. And now I am here, with it having old car problems and me slowly hoarding parts to start building it to what I envision. Essentially I made a mistake, that lead me to join this forum filled with legends.
