I have heard the globes [alone] can cost up to $700 each to replace!!!

I have also heard that for a pair of xenon headlights [whole assembly + globes] is around $2000 - this may be a 2nd hand price too. The r34 halogen headlights are approx $1000 2nd hand.

The other thread will help you out more...

If you are looking to buy a pair let me know and I will ask around for ya!

I havent had to replace mine yet - fingers crossed.

When I said

I was talking about the whole headlight assembly not just the globes - I was also talking 2nd hand stuff.

Plus I dont think I can just get the globes - the importer i know wouldnt separate them. Or are you talking about a whole set of headlights? wasnt clear.

There is a guy on here ylwgtr who I believe can get the globes for $250 approx - send him a PM or something. He can probably get the whole headlight too...

Or

Send a PM to Assassin [Andy] cause I know he bought some globes brand new for about $300...

I don't really think he's gonna leave us without globe's, lol. Or are you saying you want to put the Xenon one's back in? He said that they put in an adaptor or spacer or something like that. There's no chance that we can save them from the hammer :( as he was firm on that one but my exhaust is a differnt story :D . What I'm gonna try and do is swapsell them to another person importing an R34 who need's them for compliance.

yeah i've heard the same thing. full nissan headlight assembly is $2500 according to a friend who was replacing one from a smash. not hard to believe when you get quoted $250 for a set of front nissan brake pads! :D

as for halogens in the r34, afaik, when mine was complianced the xenon bulb is removed and a halogen is fitted with some extra wiring. here is a pic with the halogen bulb in and the xenon plug out.

dean from upimports should be able to help you.

So after compliancing, u just need to find yourself a pair of Xenon bulbs? (unless you somehow get to keep them, and put them in after) So they don't change the WHOLE headlight assembly? Cos i guess then if u can keep the original Xenon assembly, it's not TOO bad if u have to find some bulbs.

Daz is ur car being complianced by the INTERNATIONAL mob in sydney??

cheers

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
