hi, does anyone know what type of lights to use in the xenon system for the r34. The lights lense has a sticker on it saying it has been converted to xenon and not to attemt to use any other gas type. so the lights that are advertised with xenon gas are they safe? or will i damage the system ?

and that real annoying beep how in gods earth do you by pass it to shut up?

( plss plss its driving me nuts)

Just because it says xenon does not mean you have xenon. The lamps would have been replaced to halogen during compliance so I don't think you have xenons. Are ur lights a bright white color and takes a few secs to come on? If so you have xenons...if they are the normal yellowish light, then its been converted to halogens.

if they're converted to halogen it will probably have numbers engraved into the top of the light sort of where the bonnet sits. I'd say your xenons have been chopped out like mine. If so you just get normal h1 halogen bulbs ( i think its h1 , haven't changed them for a while) from autobarn etc. I've heard phillips have good bulbs. The high beam is something diffent but i don't know what it is. Sorry i got a manaul trans so cant help with the beep

that sounds about right its been etched out with a H1 12v/55w serialed into it. The high beam is a tricky one i know never heard of it before.

You are correct alot of em loose xenons when complianced but mine was left in and alot of others i have talked to theres were also left.

i got the reverse beep aswell.. i think its normal..

yeah its bloody normal.

There is a wire u can cut... apparently if u pull off the plastic covering around your gear selector there will be a wire attached somewhere near the "R" setting u simply cut it.

where is the beep coming from ? Under the dash ? Stick your head where it's beeping and see if it has a beeper/ speaker somewhere and pull the wire going to it

As above... but in saying that I have not cut mine nor look in there as it does bug me when reversing for a while but don't want to damage the interior surround.

so in compliance do they just change the globes or did they change the whole set up? i have xenon, but its been converted back to halogen, want needs to be dont to get it back to the factory xenon? bloody compliance, why cant they just leave stuff alone...

Can't simply change back in most cases they cut the wires out making it impossible to fix. Need new headlights basically. Also they usually take the ballasts.

It's a piece of piss to take the surround out mate, look at http://www.r34gtt.net/r34start.html

Hey,

I had a look at that site but couldn't find the bit about the interior console, i've seen that site b4 but didn't realize he modded the inside or had info on it.

      Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
