Keen to know if anyone has tried replacing their R34 headlight lenses with BEHRMAN HEADLIGHT REPAIR LENS KIT.

https://www.nengun.com/behrman/headlight-repair-lens-kit-r34-skyline

Couldnt find anyone talking about using them. Anf if you have, how would you rate them. Size, shape and fit compared to factory.

Trying to decide between giving this a go or shelling out the coin for new ones.

Mine are well past resto. Full of cracks.

I've ordered a pair. While mine had clouding at the top I could remove, it also has those  micro cracks you can see in the sun. My concern is a single bad review left at one of the sites like rhdjapan I think, that complained they did not fit well (did not seal well).

On the other hand they have been popular in Japan, allegedly. So perhaps the review is bogus or perhaps it was an earlier revision.

The other option is to buy second hand units without the ballasts but those seem to be price high and of course you can't be sure the ones you're buying are not on the way to the same issue. You can also buy new without ballast. Or buy new complete at even more $$$s!

@phelbas I'd love to see pics and your thoughts on the new lenses. How well they fitted and the end result. Let us know for reference. Would be great.

I would like to update with results but am still waiting for nengun..

I bought replacement lenses for my Liberty from Alibaba, was about $200 + postage.

They should start churning out more lenses for R34 and R33, heaps of people will buy it.

@niZmO_Man how's the alibaba's replacement lens work out?

I installed them on my R34. Would recommend. There's an installation guide by Wisesquare (in Japanese) on youtube that will answer all your questions.

My advice, and this is where a couple of friends screwed up; stretch the sealant out evenly to about 150% it's length before inserting. 2/3 of my mates had to redo theirs because they didn't apply the sealant correctly. You absolutely do not want to do this twice.

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • 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.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
