Hi all,

just wondering if an R34 owner with STOCK/FACTORY/OEM Xenon headlights could please take a picture of their headlights at night, point down the street, or preferably at a wall from a decent distance?

My headlights were gutted during compliance, but i know a lot of R34's managed to slip through without this happening. I'm deciding whether i want to go to standard (which i've not seen before in person) or maybe go projector retro-fit. But if the stock light is good enough, i'll go that way (cheaper)

so yeah, if someone could take some pics, that would be awesome!!!!

cheers,

chinny

No pictures but trust me go the stockers.

I have mates with projection style HID lights (even factory Subaru ones)

and they complain about the light putting them off when thrashing it around the hills at night with no street lighting.

The problem with projection ones is that you have great bright lights for about x meters ahead of you, after which it cuts straight off to pitch black.

Standard R34 xenons gradually fade out so it is not as bad. The projection ones are like white in front of you, then become pitch black after a certain point. It is kind of scarey.

Factory xenons give an excellent light, I have them on mine .

Series III GTR's have projector xenons and they very good too but the 34 reflectors are better.

Converted xenons ( to halogen ) are crap, you can't see anything in rain !!!

ok... why the hell are the aftermarket HID's burning (or seems to be) the plastic covering of my lights??? :), certainly discolouring it..

now i know non-Xenon assembly's can't handle the heat of a HID globe, but mine are factor Xenon assembly's. Why the hell does the cover look like it's melting? (reflectors are fine, no marking on the inside)

No, you've just got some dodgy HID kit in there that doesn't dissipate the heat well enough... I'd take em out quick smart before you get some seedy brown colour developing on the inside of the lens.

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
