There is no such thing as a good kit period. Halogen housings have different optics to xenon housings, so they cannot focus the light properly. End of story. The only option is a retrofit of oem hid into the housing.

I'm guessing that you hvae an r34 gtt? with the xenons that have been converted from compliance?

I forgot the blokes name, but there's someone with a black r34 on here who put a kit converted headlights. The light output was crap, because the kit puts the focal point of the bulb in the wrong spot.

Go oem. r34 headlights aren't that expensive. I've seen them go for $600 for the pair in perfect nic.

hmm how do i get OEM?? I contacted my car dearler.. 1 guy said ok.. and another told me they can't do it (bastard).. it'll cost me 800 bucks and that he'll (the guy who said that it can't be done) ask his 'friend' about it..

is 600 bucks about the price for them to make it OEM R34 xenon headlights for me?

heers

i've seen halogen (4 door/non turbo) assemblies go for $600, but watching what people are finding over in the Slidewize R34 gear thread, low $900's is the lowest i've seen him quote how much a pair of xenons will cost from the yahoo auctions (delivered)

If you look at your lights evil, do you see the word 'Xenon' embossed anywhere?

I'm looking at those Xenon HID kits on eBay, sells for around $200-$600.

Thinking of getting 1 but dunno if it'll fit or not, what's the criteria?

And does any1 know the diff between xenon & bi-xenon ones?

110% gtst - have you read a single thing that was said in this thread? If you had, then obviously, you wouldn't buy it.

nah not really, maybe the 8000k bulb will be less blinding, anyway does the Series I & II both have H1s?

MANWHORE, iv got an r32 gtr and i was really keen on a HID xenon kit but from what iv read they seem to be usless what do you recommend for me, my lighting at night is shit house

Same here... I've sold it by hooking up sum CAT foggies!

ali, check out Ronin's thread.

The projector's with HID kits are passable from what i've heard. Obviously not the best option.

how handy are you with building things, electrics, etc? maybe you can do a retro fit yourself.

hey ali,

The link that gohan posted up is spot on the money. It is the only 'Real' and 'proper' way of doing things.

r32 headlights are renouned for being the crappest lights ever. If you don't want to go the retrofit option, the best light you can get is probably a set of plus 50 bulbs, relayed so that they get the full 13.8 volts (instead of the 10-11 volts they usually get).

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
