they remove the HID bulb and ballast, and replace with standard bulb.

Find yourself a cheap aftermarket set and hook up HID again! :wave:

so you mean there is no difference between normal headlight unit and xenon head light unit other than removed original ballast and HID bulb?

so if i buy aftermarket HID kit and install onto my headlights it wont glare as much as r33 which they dont have xenon headlight houseing.????

cheers

Your headlight probably had HID globes in them from factory (that's why you've got the 'xenon' printed), but there's a high chance that the compliance company took them out and put halogen globes in.

To check whether or not you've got HID globe installed at the moment, check around the headlight to see if there's a ballast mounted somewhere. Or you can just switch on your headlights and see if they come on straight away or not. If they come straight on to the normal colour, they're halogen, but if they look like they 'power up' in the first 2 secs, then it's probably HID's.

Make sure the globes are cold when you test this way.

Hope that made some sense.

f**k, why didn't I think of this before....

Just take your existing globes out, if they look like normal halogen globes, they're halogen, but if they look like a tube with a little 'bulge' in the middle, they're HID.

Post up a pick if you're not sure.

lol thanks adam!!

so there is no difference between normal halogen headlight house and HID headlight house?

i know i have normal harlogen light bulb cz i changed light bulb last time myself...

as long as there is no differnce between those two light housing... that means i can possibly put HID kit onto my

headlight right????

SO NON-XENON HEADLIGHT UNIT AND XENON HEADLIGHT UNIT ARE THE SAME UNIT BUT XENON HEADLIGHT UNIT HAS BALLAST INSTALLED AND NON-XENON HAS NO BALLAST.. AM I RIGHT?

AND IF IM RIGHT there is no such things as OEM xenon r34 headlight unit right?

all head light units are same but the fact that ballast is in it or not...

than why people selling oem xenon headlight unit and why people buy that?

why dont they just buy HID kit and install them??????????

No, no umm, I think there would be some 34 headlight housings which only came with halogen globes, but if your headlight has the 'xenon' printed, it had HID's installed back in Japan, but the compliance people took them out because they're illegal on Australian roads.

If you've got the 'xenon' printed and you plan on putting HID's back in, you can, you just have to make sure you get the genuine HID system that came with the 34's. You can't throw those cheap HID kits in for example.

Headlight housings which came with HID's will have a different reflector design to those without HID. The two globes produce light in a different position. If 34's ever came with halogens from factory, there will be two different types of housings on the market.

As long as you get globes that are the same as the genuine ones I don't see a problem. For example, if you're headlight originally took D2S globes, you must get D2S globes for your headlights to perform at their best, but that's a bit obvious, I didn't have to explain that. :wave:

Good luck, I hope you find a set of globes and ballast at a good price.

There are 2 TYPES of FACTORY headlight 'assembly'. One if factory halogen, one is factory Xenon.

Xenon is defined by the embossed 'Xenon' on the front/horizontal part of the assembly. The two assemblies in general look quite different.

The Xenon reflectors are designed for a D2R globe light pattern ONLY. In other words, an H1 Xenon globe will produce some glare and will not have the same quality as a D2R globe even though both will be HID lighting.

You can get away with an aftermarket HID kit in the R34 Xenon assembly, but the light output isn't the prettiest. I wonder if the light output is better on the factory halogen assembly?

Anyways, hope that clears it up for ya

Hey guys I have been trying to sort out my missing high beam bulb problem for a few weeks but everywhere i take my spare bulb(3rd pic), they just look at it very wierdly. I hope that buy just looking at these pictures somebody might tell me what i need to buy to replace the missing bulb. The casing of my lights say Xenon.

I need the bulb and the black bit connected to it (everything in 3rd pic), which then connects to the casing(1st n 2nd pic).. If anyone can help me i would appreciate it very much. im exhausted in looking around and i need to take the car over the pits and register it.

By reading this forum Im gona search my car 2moro for hid ballasts..

low beams flick on straight away and are not that bright so must be halogen?

If I buy a pair of new Hid ballasts, will that fix my problem? what ballast do i buy?

Is there a limit to how legal the power of the bulbs?.. ( taking car over pits)

Sorry about all the questions but Ive never dealt with xenon or any hid lighting before. Cheers!

To get the most out of your original HID housing, get the D2R globes (assuming that they're the factory style).

You can get those cheap HID kits with D2R on ebay, but you said 'decent', not sure if those will be.

i have no idea why i didn't think about this, but is there anything stopping us R34 owners with Xenon assembly's, but hacked due to compliance, from getting D2R kits and get an OEM light output?????

I thought i wrote this idea off for some reason, but can't remember why....

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
