hey all,

i recently bought my R34 GT25...has factory xenon headlights, but the xenon bulbs were changed during compliance, the xenon headlights are still there, just the bulb appears to be changed, got a couple of questions.

1) is there anyway to get hold of stock r34 xenon bulbs?

2) if not, how much are bulbs which have the same colour light as the stock xenons?

Cheers

hid kit is easier to install.. as they installed a "spacer ring" in your light to hod the h1 bulb.. and hid kit works well (NYTSKY) can prob still supply you a kit.. but some think you get more glare from the HID as it was designed for the xenon.. myself am more than happy with the HID kit

another one for a HID kit from NYTSKY, got an 8000k H1 Bosch HID kit through him for my 34, works a treat and easy to install

how does 8000k look...thats what i would want but ive heard they are too blue and attract a lot of unwanted attention??

got any pics by any chance of how they look @ night on your 34?

if i get the chance ill take some for you tonight, the bosch 8000k kit i got from NYTSKY isnt too blue at all, and gives a nice spread of light, and i can't say that i have ever been high beamed or anything for them being too bright either

stock xenon bulbs are 4300k ... I put 6000k on mine as they have a slight blue tinge. 8000k is noticably bluish it's just that people get used to them and think they're not

not true, it varies with the manufacturer, i have seen some 8000k kits that are ridiculously blue, as for mine, i have asked people who have been driving in front of me, and i have looked from a distance myself, and they only have a tinge of blue.

+1, wanted to change mine to HID too but don't want the trouble of getting defected.

Yea, my mate has a full stock R34 with factory HID, on P's. He got pulled over by a cop one day and got questioned about his HID, he's like they are stock and came from factory. But the cop said to him, it doesn't matter, they aren't even meant to be on there, as they aren't self-adjusting.

So at the end, he got dicked for it lol.

Not sure what you mean by self adjusting, but they can be dipped with the factory in car dial thingy near the coin slot, that said, i am aware that they are still illegal...

With the current volume of new cars with HID standard, it's not really being targeted anymore. Too hard basket.

Also HIDs are never 100% the correct colour when you first put them in, they change over about 300-500hours to get to the final temp colour they were advertised as.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
