all illegal sorry dude, you'll risk others safety, your safety and void your insurance/get pulled over

retrofitting to HID is the only option, which involves taking the projector from a factory HID car and putting it into your headlight housing

I'm doing mine at the moment, I'll be using a 4300k bulb(white light)

haha not here in NZ :( oh yeah :)

states in our warrant of fitness checks(hid are illegal unless retrofitted with an OEM projector :))

I think HIDs standard are illegal in Australia too? well ones without self levelling and washers(R34 xenons etc)

the only cars that are allowed them would be the european cars?

haha looks like it?

is that an HID kit? because that is quite a lot of glare, you sure that's not on fullbeam?

you must get flashed all the time

This explains why they are illegal:

You could alwasy get GTR R34 Xenon lights for yours and sell off the PNP kit and headlights, or go custom retrofit

Like Ronin09 did, he did a very nice job too, no glare and a sharp cutoff

Oh true if if had the factory HID xenon lenses then it should be sweet :(, probably just lense flare off the cellphone :)

it's when people start putting them in halogens when the problems happen :), i've seen quite a few 32's and 33s round here blind the crap out of me with HIDs :S

I've got an HID kit installed in my 32 and haven't been flashed so far. I guess the kit is better in the projector housing than it is in the reflectors. I kind of regret buying the kit, but I couldn't see anything without it.

Any light that is over 4,600K - I got 4,500K bulbs on - they look really bright and nice... but I know I won't get burnt for them... so yeah... HID's are nice no doubt about that... but why risk getting pulled over and possibly defected just for your driving lights?

      Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes

      I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.

      Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days

      It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
