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:

      If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
