xenon HID is much better then HIDs from what I've heard. HID is just the bulb whereas xenon has the gas in it and a power converter to run it. We compared the look of the S2000 HID to my R34's Xenon HID and the R34 has a much nicer and denser look to it and also when you look at the white road stripes, xenon makes them virtually glow in white/purplish colour.

Far out, what is going on is this thread!!!

Xenon = the gas used in HID Bulbs.

People use the terms interchangeably. Yes, technically, they are HID lamps. Yes, technically, they are also xenon lamps (just like halogen lamps are called halogen lamps).

HID/xenon bulbs produce light because of an arc that runs inside not a filament.

There was a mention above about xenon being bulb only. I believe you are referring to the addition of a small percentage of xenon gas into the atmosphere of a stadnard halogen filament bulb. This allows the filament to burn hotter and more efficient, therefore producing more light. They are not lieing when they advertise that the halogen bulb contains Xenon gas. However, these bulbs are not discharge bulbs that operate using an arc, they have a filament.

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
