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??

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.

    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
    • I can donate $100 to your upgrade fund. So long as you can donate the IC7 my way....
    • I'd love a Haltech ECU, and Haltech 10 dash. Was having a chat with Rob and Andy @ Haltech when Rob put one in his MR2. First one I'm kind of interested in too, as you can dim it RIGHT down. Andy was saying bright dashes is one of his peeves too!
