Hey guys,

i know there are heaps of topics on this but i cant seem to find one where people have installed H1 kits into their r34... most have done the D2R with adapters...

are there any cons to putting h1 kit in?... just seems easier as all topics on dr2 kits ppl have cut holes etc into rear of light cap..and just seems to be so much muckin around?

any help would be awesome! any recomendations too!

Cheers

Kris

When i got my 34 the D2r connectors were chopped off and i had standerd H1 bulbs,i mounted the ballasts in the front bar and drilled a hole in the back capping and used the grommet that came with the H1 kit to seal it. Not sure if they are any better than the D2r bulbs as i havent seen any before,but going from halogen H1 to H1 HID 6000k is a major difference.

If you want some pics let me know,its not a hard job,took me about 3hrs but i pulled my headlights out,when i did the conversion in my 32 it only took about an hr.

D2R is the xenon lights that come with the car (if yours is xenon).. But i have done a H1 HID.. you still reuire to cut the back plate for the wires to feed through.. you get a grommet to block it up though..

it only took me 30min if that..

+1 for pic mate! cheers

all the connectors and ballast is still intact in my car...should i replace whole lot or just get some D2R 6000k globes?

sorry about the crappy pics, if you want a serious look ill be more than happy to show you my car and give you a hand if need be. As i said my d2r connectors were chopped off (maybe during compliance) so the ballasts are still sitting in the bottom of the lights adding weight lol.

All that needs to happen is for the + and - going to the original ballast to be chopped and either soldered or use spade terminals to connect to the new wiring harness on the new ballasts,from there its just drilling a hole in the back cover to fit the supplied grommet and your done.

I picked up my hellegkit super cheap on ebay (less then a decent set of halogens) im not sure how much d2r bulbs are.

Pretty crappy pic but it shows the grommet in the cover plate on the back of the headlight (drivers side,pod is in the way of the other one)

The Ballasts are mounted just under the headlights in the front bumper using the supplied brackets and a couple of zipties

And this is what it looks like after the globes have warmed up for about 5 minutes,they go from a blue tinge to a bright white.

Hope this gives you some insight,let me know if you want to have a closer look to how i did it and we can make a time.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!

      I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!

      I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
