actually just did some reading. would be better to get aftermarket HID's as the ballast would have been removed from the headlight along with oter components that the car came with from fatory.

all good thread can be closed sory lol

fark it cold out :D

anyway took off hes headlight but hes xenons are different to urs, maybe because its a NA

but the yellow wire plug should go into the resistor and the 2 wires should go into the back of the middle globe, there will be a rubber gromet with 2 wires there most likely.

actually shouldnt be to hard to fix, solder the globe wires and then plug in the yellow wire plug and solder the other 2 wires

edit: ill be at my missus' saturday in lalor if you want me to try and fix it

NA's didn't have xenons

unless its a gt-v maybe?

what do the parkers look like?

a circle, or a square?

ye i figured out where the other wires go apart from the yellow on.

no you say should be plugged at the back of the light.

this is the back of the light here

im thinking the yellow plug could be connectors for the headlight adjustment from inside the car.

prob be easy to pull the headlight out and see if anything else is tucked in there.

thanks anyways nick. it is pretty cold outside lol

r34 xenons dont have washers, so they are illegal

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
