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:

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
