Its hard to say exactly what your problem is. If its just a simple globe. You need a DSR H1 Xenon HID Globes.

Im selling my old 4300k pair for $80 if your interested.

If its not the globe, eg the ballast or anything else. then it could be alot more $$$ and complicated to fix.

I remember asking about Xenon bulbs and finding out technically they are illegal in vic; well in skylines anyway. Pompous and expensive bmw's and mercs are a different story apparantly. When i got mine I found I have standard $30 Halogen bulbs in my 34. When it went through the import process they took the xenon's out.

^^ his right

Ita because skylines don't have auto levelling lights. VicRoads says this has the potential to blind ppl while you drive because they are so bright.

Regardless it's an expensive price of gear, costing ppl around$1500 to replace.

Like this guy I had my bulbs and ballists removed during compliance. I ddint do my research and regretted dearly. The horrible halogens they replace them with are disgusting and are absolutely useless. And aftermarket HIDs ain't that much better.

My advice for ppl out there about to go through compliance, talk to the guys off the record about negotiating the OEM Xenons back into the car after being compiled.

      first time swapping rb25det into r34

      This sounds like a perfect excuse to install a Haltech R3.

      I do believe from context he is talking about a S0/S1 R33 RB25 with associated ECU and Wiring for that, and a manual gearbox into a R34 N/A Auto. I don't have the knowledge of all the pinouts and such but my gut feeling from doing my own conversion is to use as much of the R33 stuff that you can. The "car" wiring is quite seperate from the "Engine" wiring when all things are considered. The only things to truly consider 99% of the time is the cluster, reverse lights and potentially disabling the 'not in P/N' immobilizer circuit.

      Rusty roof repair

      A realistic expectattion of how long it has to last also comes down to.... when do you think you will be banned from registering and driving old petrol powered shitters? It's 27 years since that thing was built. It probably rusted out 15 years ago. It was probably repaired and looked OK for another 10. If you do a similarish bodge job now, or perhaps slightly better with some actual rust conversion and glassing, then.... get another 10-15 years out of it, after which you'll only be permitted by the CCP to drive electric cars manufactured in their Shenzen zone anyway.

      Let me assume that the concern over a manual ECU is that the NeoDET that you have was an auto and has an auto ECU. That ECU will not be a problem, but you WILL have to Nistune it. And you would have to Nistune it even if you had a manual ECU, because the turbo ECUs will shit the bed if they do not have all the things that they were told they have to have, to be happy. The big one being the TCS CU, which you won't have in your car. Anyway, with an auto ECU (which I have running my originally auto NeoDET in an R32) Nistune allows you to put in a Stagea image which doesn't panic about the absent TCS, and allows you to override a whle bunch of other annoyances that would otherwise see the check engine light on 100% of the time. Also, you can't wind up the power very far on the stock NeoDET ECUs without Nistune, because the boost sensor gets in the way. Nistune allows you to push that problem much further up the dial. Do you even have the boost sensor with the engine? Without it, you are SOL and will need an aftermarket ECU (or to find a sensor somewhere, god knows where). I can't tell you what the wiring loom differences are in a 34. But what Duncan said above needs to be considered. When you say "loom", does that include the transmission loom? Because you will need to swap out the auto tranny loom for the equivalent manual loom, and get rid of the neutral/park start interlock (basically hot wire it).

      Ogura orc1000f vs Osg tr2cd vs Osg r3c experiences, max torque/max hp?

      I have had the r3c in for years now, maybe close to 7 years and it has never missed a beat, anyone can drive it. Super easy to drive around town, the hotter it gets does get a little hard but it holds the power easy as
