Hey guys,

I got my R34 on road 2 days ago and it looks wicked, esp after i changed the rims. The main gripe i have is they took out the Xenons for compliance and id really like to get some form of HID or Xenons put back in. I dont need the whole assembly, just the globes i think.

But what i want to know is if like autobarn or somewhere sells Xenon kits? ive heard official Nissans are like 2k. And if i get these put on, are they massive cop magnets? Id like to cut down on my routine checks in the 34. I just want to keep it all mostly legal and non defectable lol.

Any info would help

Just read through the Aug copy of Vic-Spec Newsletterm theres a very noice members offer from Phillips in there.

Become a SAU Vic member for under $100 and save another $700+ on your Xenons :O

If that aint incentive i dunno what is.

Well big company like Phillips would of course go through all ADR requirements before marketing their kit in Australia. They've got the financial capacity to go through it and it is passed onto consumers through it's higher price xenon kits.

Most imported ones made by some overseas "drift" garage or chinese/taiwanese made won't even bother to go through ADR testing process cos their selling price would become the same with Phillips or even cost more (no mass production capacity compared to large company) and who would wanna buy their brand if you've got Phillips at the same price....

Spot on rs73.....According to ADRs the headlights have to produce a particular 'shape' of light out the front of the vehicle. The phillips one ia the only one of the kits out there that produces this shape and is therefore legal in Oz.

oh nice :). wait, i have one more question. for HID xenons to be ADR compliant, doesnt it need the headlight washers aswell ? so phillips includes the washer ?

when will the group buy take place ? coz i might be interested in a kit.

sorry for the stupid questions.

ADR says xenons need to be self-leveling and have washers... for OEM.

The Philips product is legal to fit and use as an aftermarket kit.

That said - Golgo has the factory projector xenons installed (no washers or levelers) - and no-one has ever once mentioned anything about it. Was fine for RWC and Police RW inspections.

The details for the member offer is in the latest Vic-spec newsletter. The offer is currently for R33 series cars only.

Email me if you are interested in more detail on the Philips kits - and I'll put you in contact with David Clerk - their sales manager for automotive lighting.

I got the factory xenons in mine... no trouble from anyone yet. Saying that though, some of the european luxury cars have xenons that are much brighter than mine so I don't know what the go is there.

Could be a dumb thought, but since the R34 headlight housing is plastic... would a 8500k bulb be too hot and possibly melt it? My factory xenons generate a bit of heat already and they are nowhere near 8500k

I have the factory nissan r34 xenons in mine... but my car was complianced before the import rules changed. the headlight level can be adjusted to 4 different levels via a switch inside the cabin. they also make a faint buzzing sound when they are on if you put your ear near the headlight where the transformer box is underneath the headlight.

Dan: $390 sounds like globe prices.

The xenons need the ballast pack - which is where most of the money is.

Replacement Xenon bulbs for Golgo were about $300. That's cheap.

Honda quote about $700 per bulb only for the Accord Euro.

Michael (BOS Importing) has good prices :(

I'll take pics soon, but i've got ballast and globes. Full kit. 8500k globes.

I've still got the OEM Xenon assembly, so i hope they're up to the task of the 8.5k globes :)

i can BYOBB them down to the BBBQ if anyone is interested?

Korean made, the boxes look stylish at least :) not sure how they go but someone else in this thread they got the Kaixens as well. Not sure how they stack up against the Philipps.

Peeps can someone give me more info about the Philips kits, which kits they are / to what extent is it legal / etc?

I would definitely consider a HID kit if it's ADR compliant..I like light :P

      I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.

      I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.

      Yet another RB Neo misfiring thread after reading all the others.

      Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
