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.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.

      Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂
