Hey guys, Just wondering if any one has taken apart the r34 head lights??

mine has some condensation inside the lights and im just wondering if they are as easy to take apart as the S13 head lights??

With the s13 head lights you can just drop them in Hot water or put them in the Oven for a while to losen the glue which hold the front plastic bit to the actually headlight. Then you can just pull them apart.

Has anyone tryed doing this with the R34 head lights??

Any Help would greatly be apprieciated.

Cheers

D.

5 replies? Well, that beats my 4! Altho that was in whore town and doesnt matter so much...

Is it water in the head lights? Or are they turning yellow? If its water, then put them in the oven for a few minutes at 80C to loosen the glue, same as every other type of head light. For discolouration, try Meguires Scratch-X or a headlight cleaning pack.

Sorry for the late reply, Yeah its definatly water inside the headlight, as I can see where the water has dried up inside haha, and it has started to go yellow from the inside.

You have to bake the headlights for 20 mins,

We will be having some DIY instructions soon, since we have developed some an Angel Eye kit

That would be great mate, will wait for the DIY before I tear it apart.

Okay can anyone tell me how to take the headlight out??

I tryed taking the bolts visable, which I think are 4 along the top. Is there a bolt inside the guard/front bar?

the inside seamed to come off easily, however woudlnt come out because im thinking there is a bolt under the front guard??

I don't mean to hijack the thread at all - but I'm trying to pull apart the r34 headlight too - but for me - just change the bulb over from 6000K to 8000K ...

I've managed to changeover the passenger side no problem, the back plate just span around, changed the bulb - plugged it all back together, voila - all working.

But the drivers side, the backing plate just plain refuses to turn. I've managed to pull the battery out and get a good look behind there, and there seems to be some sort of a weird screw (a phillips head screwdriver won't t turn it :)) that's specifically designed to prevent me from turning it. Anyone have any idea about this? I got no idea how to remove it :)

I've done a search, but haven't turned up anyone else having this. Anyone seen this before?? :)

Can u get a pic of it jenna, sounds a little odd that they'd do that.

Anything is possible though.

I just pull my light assemblies (R33) out if I need to change globes it's actually quicker :)

Nissan weren't thinking of my unco boof hands when they designed the skyline thats for sure.

Really bad quality pic attached of the screw / backing plate. Basically seems to be sitting there in a way to prevent the backing plate from turning.

I asked my housemate to look at it, and he said it might be a torx head screw...

Just thinking how funny it wasn't a problem on the passenger side - but the reason I'm changing the bulb is because the xenons weren't matching - the left/right were a slightly different shade (though both 6000K) - suggesting that only one bulb had been changed in th past - I really wanted them matching cos its been annoying me (yes, I'm THAT obsessive .. hehehe :blink: )

Okay, just had a better look at the drivers side, and it *does* have one too, but looks like it's sitting tight before it, and at some point in the past, someone has forced it over the top of the screw ...

Just grabbed a screw-driver and helped forced the drivers-side one over too .. woot .. and bulb changed! :)

Oh well, if nothing else, next person who finds this might find something on 'SEARCH' about this oddity!

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
