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..

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.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
