Hey All,

I own an r34 gtt with xenon headlights and the bulb on the passengers side has died.

I'm having difficulty opening the headlight to remove the dead xenon bulb.

There's a larger circular piece behind the bulb area that looks like it can be rotated to remove but it won't budge.

Can anyone please provide some steps on how to replace the xenon bulb?

Thanks in advance!

Ed

Hi there, the way i opened mine was just to rotate it counterclockwise.. maybe you have to use a little bit more force? I'll be putting in xenon bulbs tonight/tomorrow afternoon so i'll double check..

while I'm at this. the way to get the bulb out is just squeezing the bottom bit (where it connects to the wire) together yeah?

cheers

I changed mine yesterday..

There should be a little screw before u turn the cap.. u should see it..

after you unscrew take the cap off..

After you should see like 2 clip pushing the light inside just unclip that and you can change your bulb..

Hope that works for you..

hmm mine didn't have screws..weird but i changed the bulb.. in about 20mins and that include fiddling with the battery to get my hands behind de lights of the driver side.

woohoo.. not hard at all.. I'm just waiting for night to test out the white light. So Deejay how's it going then?

hey i have a 34 but no xenon, (i think). how do i know if i have it? is there a power supply or something like that?

I am pretty sure 99.9% that all R34's have xenons. If you look at your head light it says the word xenon below the bulb on the main headlight not your parkers like you have on in the picture in your sig.

Hey guys,

I was finally able to replace the bulb, the circular cap was screwed on incorrectly making it difficult to remove. :laugh:

Now my problem is, it's a different colour to my old bulb. :teehee:

Anyone know where I can order another bulb in melbourne?

I'm looking for a D2R bulb, 6000k temp.

What is a decent price for one?

I saw some on ebay but they are some crappy taiwan brand. I'd prefer the philips hid bulbs

Cheers!

all r34s brought in under sevs shouldn't have xenons, they're removed at compliance. People do put them back in though.

Hi,

Thats interesting as someone else mentioned that, so far all the R34's I have seen had them so I assumed that they kept em, do you know why they had to be removed? Is it cause they are so bright or something cause I know the ones I had are super bright.

    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
