Hello all.

I am looking to change my front low beam headlights back to xenon (dam halogen compliance). Couple of quick questions before I start this. I have tried finding the information online, but apparenly I am useless at it.

Foreword: Stock standard 1999 r34 25gt-t

What size do xenon globes have to be, and what wattage? I have seen H1 H4 and D2R thrown around in a few threads, and I think 35w is what I want.

Where can I purchase a xenon 6000k conversion kit? Preferably in Perth, but I am ok to buy online and ship.

Is it easy enough to install yourself? On a scale of 1 to 10 (1 being my 80 y/o grandma can do it in her spare time, 10 being only one who can rebuild an engine blindfolded can do such a feat with ease)

All help is appreciated! <3

There's definitely a thread about it.... Although the thread was based on a R34 GTR.

Here you go... http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/269525-r34-gtr-xenon-hid-install/

Anyway, to answer your questions.

What size do xenon globes have to be, and what wattage? The stock xenon uses D2R bulbs but if your lights had been converted to H1 like mine, I just bought a H1 kit for it, as they have modified my bulb holder hole thingy lol. But some people will say that D2R and H1 will give out different light rays and H1 HID in xenon housing will blind people but I don't think mine is like that. I have mine pointed down to the ground with the lowest setting (a little switch above the little compartment on the right of your steering wheel). As for wattage, 35w is the sensible way to go, it's more than bright enough for low beam. Going higher means the light will get hotter and it might melt your headlights :P or blind everyone on the road.

Where can I purchase a xenon 6000k conversion kit? Anywhere really... They are so popular now, they are everywhere... stores, ebay, forum, everywhere! They range from $50-200 a kit... you get what you pay for..

Is it easy enough to install yourself? I reckon it's a 5, you will need to know what you are doing lol. For me, I taken the front bar off then taken headlights out, coz I thought it was the best and easiest way to do it, and that I also mounted my ballast onto the bottom of the headlight (that way you can say "what HID? what ballast officer? it's Philips crystal vision) lol.. If compliance had taken out your stock ballast, then you should have free holes to mount your new ballast. But pretty much take headlights out, drill a hole into the headlight cap, place bulb in place, plug bulb into ballast, plug stock headlight plug into ballast, put everything back together and BAM! it's done...

Here's some pics from my installation:

It's not illegal is it, the 6000k? Do you have to remove your whole front bumper to get to the lights? Oh drag. Thanks for all your help!!

PS: Not normally a fan of yellow cars, but yours looks sick!

Cheers man :)

HID in a R34 is illegal regardless of whether it's factory or aftermarket or 4300k or 6000k.

Because the HIDs in R34 isn't self-leveling and it doesn't have a jet washer. So you can get done for it.

And yes you do need to take the bumper off to get the lights off.

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
