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.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?

      Starting again

      I started removing the tank a while back with the intent to give it a proper clean. Got to a bolt that I couldn't undo completely due to a diff being in the way, so just said f**k it and siphoned the gluggy old fuel out and called it a day. Looking it the tank it looks less corroded than the one in the pics for that billet hanger from Frenchy's anyway. Isn't it the fuel filters job to worry about this stuff? I scraped off most the crusty shit of the hanger but will give it another go before reinstall coz maybe the fuel and return pipes are also full of gunk

      Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
