When complied I guess the things get butchered, has anyone replaced them?

How?

The reason the Xenons are removed is that in some of the 34's they are 'Automatically' adjusted whilst driving. In other models they have a manual switch which can be adjusted by the driver. These are allowed. The auto ones are not.

Yeah thats what I mean, trying to find out how they were?

if there was transformers,ballasts,just bulbs? etc

I think most time they just change the HIDs with the sedan's non HID head lights.

But i have seen one where they open up the HIDs and take out the ballast and bulbs and replace with a normal driving light. BTW a proper compliance shop will distory all the HID things when compliancing. So to answer ur question, it prob be hard to find the original stuff in AUS. I think is cheaper if u just buy a new aftermarket HID kit and put in, is actually quite easy these days with the direct plug in type. ALSO the aftermarket ones is much much brighter then the stock ones.

I think the sedans have the same HIDs as the coupes. Both are available with halogens too. You really need the OEM lights as I've seen such terrible light patterns from kit upgrades on cars that weren't meant to have HIDs. I haven't seen one of these kits in an R34, but from what i've seen in Cefiros, Skylines and Supras, they look terrible and only give glare to oncoming traffic rather than decent lighting. I've got a pic somewhere on my computer of the light pattern from a kit. If I can find it I'll post it.

You should check mine out - they're crisp, non glaring and have a perfect cut off. There's some pics in the thread in my sig of both my car and my flatmate's 32.

If the r34 have projector lights like the r32/a31 then I would highly recommend the HID kits I'm organising a group buy for.

If they're "normal" looking lights (after the conversion back to halogen) then I would suspect they do glare and not cut off properly so I would suggest you find the OEM HID assembly and use that.

Good luck :P

Ricnismo ,

The balasts are underneath the light but they should have been removed , usualy cut off , sometimes just unpluged and removed . They should have inscribed on the top black plastic "H1 12V 55W " , thats to indicate the type of globes they have in there .

All gtrs and gtts come with xenons as standard , some none turbos and some sedans come with halogens .

Gtr xenons are reflectors not projectors , series III r33 gtrs have projectors but the 34 xenons are brighter .

      Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
