Picture of the headlight please. There are two different headlight types. One with HID and one regular. The genuine HID units came with an adjustment switch in the cabin, have circular park light (looks like a golfball) and have the word XENON in the headlight housing.

Yes your car came with HID headlights from factory. Unfortunately, they are not ADR compliant and you'll have to convert to halogen or change your headlights to halogen to pass.

If you have factory HID, tough luck man, it sucks but that's the way Australia is. I would source a pair of halogen housings to pass it.

If you have halogen headlights and put a fully sick 6000K-10000K cheap HID kit in, you deserve the defect.

Is there some sort of conversion required to switch from factory Xenon to Halogen?

What about the factory Xenon booster thingy that sits behind the bulb?

My GTT still has the factory setup. I dont want to butcher it too much. I am after a plug & play swap over.

Or what if I get those projector headlight setups? If the HID is housed in the projector, will that be "legal"?

not sure if i'm misundersatnding you but by definition, the HID (in a projector headlight setup) is inside the glass bulb anyway - legality would be concerning the retrofit (not sure on the laws about this), rather than where the HID is (as that's a moot point)

The issue i think is to have HIDs in a car in aust they need to be self leveling and possibly have healight washers fitted to, something random like that. you can get them complied but it would never be worth it.

I have in my hand the compliance for a personally imported cars and it states that headlights need to have a dipping funticion. Doesn't say they need to be self aligning or cleaning or anything of the sort. That is for personally imported cars, which mine is.. Yay ;)

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
