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:

    • UPDATE: Yes the GSP Axles are compatible. I installed it on my R34 today and they are working a treat! Turns out that the S13, S14, S15, and 200 SX all used the same axles as the HR34, and ER34 NA models. Which is 2 bolt x 3 pairs.  
    • Also build this EH ute with 370z motor and gearbox with a couple of turbos just for fun.  
    • Got the passenger door on plus the master cylinder and booster. Loaded up to take it home. At home, the colour changes a lot in the light.
    • Nothing cheap, but I have seen the AC Hydraulic DK13HLQ which is pretty close to what you're asking for. The problem is the hydraulic cylinder mandates that the back of the jack be a certain height and Skylines have fairly deep inset floor jack points. A more certain and cheap option is to get some nominal 2x10 inch lumber boards and have one board be 1.5 feet, the other board 3 feet. Glue it all together with lots of clamps to maintain pressure. Make two of these. The ramp suggested above is a good idea, it takes quite a bit of clutch slip to get over each of the boards. I only need the first ~1.5 inches for my low profile jack on a standard ride height car but a lowered car you want to go up to the full ~3-3.5 inches. Paint it or store indoors if you want it to last.
    • Ok. And Nistune? I read (here too) mainly on Stagea threads that it can by "turn off" with Nistune. But they say they still had the sensor plug in. Next week iam going to the Nistune(and other ECUs) tuner so i can finally make it work. I drove the car home and apart from the cut it drove great. No misfire no smoke no hesitation or rough start...so hoping it is this sensor that is missing
