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

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.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
