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.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
