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

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
