this is funny shiiit...

im having this massive battle with a seller on ebay..

hes practially saying i cant fit DR2 globes as there is no conversion kit for it... WTF??

he says there is no way to plug the globe into the ballast...LOL

QUOTE

"Like i said, you cant get a D2R conversion kit... the bulbs have no way of plugging into the ballasts, as the D2R is a factory D2R bulb and not designed to plug into a ballast... as the headlight housing provides the circuitry between the HID bulb and the ballast.

Your best bet is to find out what halogen bulb is being used in your headlight - probably H1 - and get a H1 conversion kit."

Lol.... There are D2R kits....

Even with my H1 HID kit, the seller could get me a set of D2R globes for it, but too bad they don't fit anymore.

Anyway, as for the first kit that you showed, they aren't actual Philips kit.... They just supposedly uses Philips globes. Because with Philips kit, you are looking at like $350-400.

Thanks for the taking the effort for taking the pics Charles.

Was hoping for a more even spread of light and a flat sharp cut off. Oh wells

Thanks anyway :thumbsup:

Hmmm... You might be able to achieve that with a D2R kit? As the reflectors in your headlights are made for D2R, not H1 (which is mine).

Yeah im not sure, but i would think that the factory xenons would of have a good spread and a sharp cut off?

Then again im not sure will have to take a look at my mates R34 one day as he has the factory ones in place that werent taken out at compliance.

yeah im not too sure either.. thats why i started this topic lol!

im not sure weather to go H1 - easy install

or DR2 and screw around with adaptors n cutting holes in the capping etc.... :|

Errrr.... I thought the only difference between H1 and D2R is the mounting bracket.... I think they installed a H1 bracket over the existing D2R bracket during compliance, so if you can take the H1 bracket out, you should have the factory D2R bracket?

And as for cutting holes.... You'd have to do it either way, for H1 or D2R, because the ballast is going to be outside of the headlight, so you will need a hole for the wires to run from ballast (outside) to the globes (inside).

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
