I haven't had problems with coppas yet... but I do get a lot of attention from everyone else. The headlights are mad.. especially when you just turn them on, they flicker, dim at first then growing brighter... a brilliant white/blue...

Yeah, gotta agree with the auto-leveling thing there, that's what i was told in regards to imports and BMW's.

sorry, but i'm getting confused. So in creation/dale's case they have the standard headlights and if they wanted to put xenons in, they would have to?

1. Change over the ENTIRE casing/cluster whatever, with Xenon ones?

2. Just change the bulbs?

3. Something else entirely that i've missed :P

cheers.

yep, i have managed to get that. So u can't buy self cleaning/auto levelling sets for the R34's as they don't have those abilities bcos Japan doesn't require them to have it?

Ok, so.... if u don't care about the boys in blue, is it a bulb thing or a whole cluster thing?

sorry troy, had about 10 hours sleep in the last 3 days (thank you US Masters, damn it Tiger!!)

cheers!

ok SS8- the answer to that question is: The whole assembly / cluster needs to be changed over.

My current headlights [whole assembly] are from the base model skyline [advised by ylwgtr] and are used to comply the car, the xenon assembly is whats taken out during compliance.

In addition to this I think ylwgtr mentioned that he knows someone who can convert the xenon one to standard but doesnt recommend destroying a good set of xenons!

Howzat???

ps. if you look closely at both headlight assemblies / clusters there is plenty of visual difference too, between the Xenon and Halogen [searching for pics...hang on]

ahhh very different. Thanks Dale!! :) :)

Howzatt?? very good, nice answer, not feeling so blonde now (no offence to the blondes :))

So, if i import a R34 GT-T, when they compliance it, they take them off, put the halogen ones in... can i then, once regoed, put the Xenons back in?? Do i get to keep them when the compliancer takes them out?? Cos i reckon that's the go, get it complianced, then throw em back in!

Second question, can u buy LEGAL Xenons for R34's? Or Self cleaning/auto levelling kits for the Standard R34 Xenons?

Whose is the silver R34 Dale?

The silver 34 belongs to MUTEX - can't remember his name, he came to the last dyno day...

What you reckon is "the go" is what a lot of people do / have done. The only exception being dodgy compliancing that doesnt change them!

From what I can make out of ylwgtr's posts you can NOT buy a kit for the 34. You may be able to buy an HID Xenon kit just as you can for other makes / models - I have seen these advertised in car mags but are over $800 from memory...

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
