I would have done a straight swap...considering you'd have to pay $$$ to get your HID converted to halogen anyway.....if you end up being stuck just PM me, I'm in Brisbane too.

I don't have to pay $$$ to get my HID converted. I have to pay $$$ for a pair of halogen headlights. I can either pay $$$ for the halogens and sell the Xenons for $$$x2 or do a swap with someone plus a cash adjustment of only $$ and not $$$.

Who in their right mind would do a straight swap!? Try getting a pair of Xenons from a wrecker and see how much they cost :)

Fair's fair.

I'd be interested in buying them as I'm contemplating doing an R34 headlight conversion on my R33 Gts-t.

What price would you sell them for straight up?

I think I still have some metal inserts that will allow you to use H1 halogen globes in your xenon housings.

PM me if you're interested and I'll dig around.

Thanks man, but I need the full halogen headlight assy for compliancing. They won't accept a Xenon headlight with a halogen bulb.

U guys realise that a xenon headlight assembly cost 2600 each from Nissan. I know cause i just bought one 2 weeks ago for 1400 at a wrecker. Thats 1400 each, second hand. Hey Rigo if u cant sell it here call some of the Sydney wreckers. I bet u could sell it easy for 1500 a pair. Try powerplay in Sydney they were selling them for 1500 each.

Hmm ... i wrote a reply but it didnt get posted. Just thought u guys should know that Xenons are 2600 each new, i just bought a front left side, second hand 1 for 1400. So Rigo if u dont have any success im sure the wreckers would buy your pair for 1500 quite easily. Last time i checked a stock complete headlight assembly from Nissan is 900 each.

Yeah, I'm gonna sell the lights separately now. I have already sent the car to Sydney for compliancing so won't be doing a swap. I will give a couple of wreckers a call.

Thanks...

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
