Hey guys,

I was lucky enough to score a set of unmolested R34 xenon's and was interested to get a few answers from people. My R34 had it's xenon's removed and replaced during compliance with the proper halogen headlight bodies & bulbs.

The xenon lights I got have the stock 4500k bulbs and upon fitting them up, I wasn't that impressed with the brightness of them (after seeing people raving about them so often on the forums here). I polished them up, but they're still almost on par (or just slightly better) than my old halogen lights. Maybe it's the people who have xenon headlight bodies which have the xenon bulbs converted to halogen, who notice the biggest difference when swapping back to proper xenon bulbs?

Anyway, I was also curious to know - if anyone out there has been defected for having r34 xenons, what temperature bulbs were you running? Did you have higher K bulbs giving off a more bluish light that may have attracted the cops? It's just after looking at my lights, I can't imagine the police caring about it / let along getting a defect for them because there are plenty of other cars out there on the road running brighter xenon's than these.

The improvement for me was marginal and the only difference really, is my lights are now white :D

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.

      Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
