Hey all,

Me and my mate just installed my new 6000K HID's in my R34, they seem to be working fine... Now. Lol. When we first turned them on, they were working fine, so we started cleaning up and we were gonna leave them on for 10 minutes just as a burn in period. But after about a minute, the left hand headlight just turned off. So we checked everything, everything was still connected and seemed to be fine. So i turned them off and on again and it just came back on. It stayed on for the 10 minutes this time, so it seems to be working fine now. I just wanted to find out what would cause it to do that and if it might happen again?

I must say, they look sick! Ridiculously bright lol, but sooooooooo cool!

Cheers for any suggestions or ideas =]

Well it happened again last night when i was driving, except on the other side this time. Works fine again when i turn them off and on though, and stays on. Only happens when i first try to turn them on.

They work perfectly after that initial fault

Got em off eBay, so they only set me back $92! :down:

Had a look though, and its the exact same kit that all the shops are selling around here for $300.

I have the warranty, so i can get a replacement if needed, you guys think its necessary?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out

      I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.

      I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
