Hey all,

I finally got my R34 today after a long 5 month wait for compliancing etc. Let me just say it was DEFINITELY worth the wait! The kit looks so sweet, and she's in perfect condition. I haven't given it a hard go yet, but it's definitely not sluggish :D

I'll post some pics tomorrow when I get the digi out.

Just a question though, I always thought that Xenon lights were Halogens (the bluey tint lights). For some reason mine have no blue in them?

Cheers people :(

Don't tell me you wanted the car because of the blue lights, it's just the frequency or temperature of light....4500-5000K will get you the blue tint from HID.

Xenon is a brand name...they rip the HID guts out and replace with crappy halogen :)

Also...is Xenon is a brand name???

Xenon is the gas they use to get the blue light which also gives them that directive narrow band of light...

I never suggested that's why I wanted the car. I was just wondering why they weren't blue. Any way of changing the frequency as u said?

Just having a dig at you mate :)

No you can't change the frequency via any means such as voltage. It's the bulb itself, buy ones with 5000K or higher, going into the blue temperature range.

edit: here is Kelvin colour temperature scale for your reference as you can see where blue light starts.

I don't think I'll bother changing them. They are quite alright as is.

I agree it all depends on the person, if it does the job leave it. Personally after changing from PIAA Xtreme White (4150K) to PIAA Super Plasma blubs 5000K Low Beam, 3800K High Beam. I probably go back to the Xtreme white, I find the blue strains my eyes and if you have tinted windows you may find it more difficult depending...thus why we have HID kit.

Pics will be up tomorrow.

It's so etch though, the very day I get my new car (and just a few weeks after getting my license), a group of girls I know, in exactly the same boat as me (ie. new car, new license) are in a horrific car crash in which the car flipped one of them died. I hadn't met the girl who was killed, but one of the girls I'm really really good friends with is in intensive care (she had a blood clot in the brain, but should recover - we're hoping she wasn't brain damaged).

Just proves that speed limits exist for a reason, and that you have to be bloody carefull as a new driver! Really put a dampner on getting a new car, especially after seeing the crash scene :|

Ok finally got some pics. I'll take some more tomorrow with my digi cam. These were taken on my mates camera today whilst the car was wedged in the garage (so you couldnt really get any good shots)

Tomorrow we're going to take some pics of all our cars around the harbour (I know it's a bit cliched, but oh well), and I'll also get some of it in the underground parking area of my apartments (so I'll be able to get some nice side on shots)

Anyway here they are:

      Have you flushed the initial fluid yet? It should look like a rainbow unicorn shat glitter into it. 2nd or 3rd fluid change is when you party.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By JC71 · Posted

      all brand new unit from Tomei, fluid, bearings, etc. Tomei said they call it a 1.5 lsd because its 100 percent lock up under acceleration and 50 percent under deacceleration.  as I mentioned I used their fluid, install and their break-in procedure, (alot of figure 8's) but even when driving straight, or even slowly backing out of garage for first time, (at 2 mph) then driving to and from figure 8 parking lot, each tire in the rear would sporadically grab, skip, bounce, shutter and skip, shutter back a force I could feel causing clutch to slip then grab, at any speed. shaking entire car. I removed unit, since I put stock back in and all is fine, via process of elimination, its something with the lsd unit itself. I wasn't going to beat up the entire car more or change anything else for no reason as I had a feeling something in the lsd itself was wrong as everything was fine before this alone was installed and I rechecked over everything else after first time backing out I suspected an issue. I'll probably sadly already need new tires now just from trying to drive it 5 miles and performing the figure 8 break in. but if someone has any ideas I'm all ears

      Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.
