Hey all, hope everyone had a good chrissie and new years.

Just a quick question...does anyone know if you can fit stronger hid globes (being 4000k 6000k etc) to the existing standard setup. i have been told that there is a possibility of burning out the lines because factory wires cant cope with more current drawn.

Cheers all.

4000k,6000k,8000k etc has nothing to do with how much power they draw, its to do with the temperature of the HID and therefore the colour it produces on the colour spectrum. They will be fine. My mate has 6000k in his R34 and i have them in my R33 aswell.

If you're just chasing drop-in bulbs to replace the factory D2R's I've got 2 pairs of 6000K and 3 pairs of 8000K....you don't need all of the extra ballast and stuff with the factory setup.

Viet boi...you'd want 6000K to see more of a blue-ish white over stock, 8000K have a definate blue look like the Honda Accord Euro headlights

makes sense cause at the end of the day its still 35w.

Thanks to all appreciate ya input!

hey guys I have an R34 with the factory Xenons and my left hand side one just blew it seems .. does anyone know how to pull the bulb out? There's a cover at the back of the xenon bulb BUT it's not turning either clockwise or anti-clockwise. Does the whole headlight have to come off ??

Also does anyone know what the factory temp is (4000k or 6500k etc) because I don't wanna end up with 2 headlights with diff temps...

Denis, you'll notice there is a little screw head that prevents the cover from turning, you can either slightly pry the lug that is hitting it and "jump" the screw (easiest way) or undo and remove it (think it's a torx type)

The factory ones are 4500K but the thing is your not going to be able to match the bulb as it has aged, with age they colour changes from the orignal 4500K heading towards 3000K, so a new bulb will be way off.

My factory ones turned fairly yellow quickly. The 6000K ones are probably as far as you'd want to go to retain a less-blue look.

If you're keen I'm selling off my last sets of brand new D2R bulbs for $65 a pair delivered.

Hey Dan, wat did you mean by hitting it?

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
