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..

Did u just bake in an oven, pull apart, add new sealant and bob's your uncle?

 

Any hints, tips or learnings?

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.

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
