Hey guys wondering if anyone here has changed their factory xennon bulb and ballest successfully to a higher temperature spec (6500K etc)

Im looking to change mine but unsure of what xennon bulb it is weather H9 , 9009

I do know by changing the xennon bulbs to a higher temp varient gives better light and performace from the stock ballest

Has anyone done something like this??

Thanks

Give you a Idea These one are available on the market ..

So you want to make the R34 xenons brighter... why would you want to do that? They are bright enough already and I reckon any brighter and they'll be c**p - not to mention risking you lenses melting down on you :dry:

Vish, i bought those 6500K bulbs off you a while back, and i put them in my car. Ive had no problems at all. an they look great.

They were replacement halogens I assume? Vish, if you have factory xenons I wouldn't touch them. Go any brighter and it'll be like high beaming ppl everywhere you go.

I've just got the stock ones still in mine and people still flash me as they think i got high beam on. Good to see whilst driving but yeah any brighter and a waste and asking for trouble.

Are u 100% sure u've got xenons? When u turn them on, does it take a few secs to fully illuminate to full brightness? If they are yellow sounds like u've got halogens! :(

Always remember; just because your headlight casing says "Xenon" does not mean you have xenons :bunny:

yep sure do have xennons , takes a few seconds from yellow get a lill whiter it is whiteish nothing compared to the 6000K ones , im thinkin the stock ones are maybe 4700k? ...

Anyone here removed the bulb and the ballast from their car b4?

Something doesn't sound right... you have described the xenon warm up process correctly but it should not be "yellow" to start off with - mine are white from the beginning.

Maybe you need to give the lens a good polish to remove any residue that's formed up over the years = that may be the cause of this "yellowness".

Removing globes and balasts is easy - not really reccommended though as the less dust you expose the globes to the better life they will have.

Ok i have checked the lenses out polished them again with meguires plastic X came up clear n like new .. still starts off with yellow then goes white.. i think maybe my bulbs are on the way out as one side is completely dim..

So no one knows what xennon globes they use? Nissan isnt any help at all as they dont know

From memory someone said something about the Nissan globes costing close to $400 a pop when they last checked (must be over a year ago now)

There was someone (I remember clearly) who said that Hella make a substitute bulb which is like $40USD. Do a search for R34 Xenon Bulb I guess.

Still strange how it starts off yellow - first time I've ever heard of that.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
