Got My 34...and Need Xenons


Recommended Posts

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.

what's cheap? i got the Kaixen ones for bout $390 i think? but i have a feeling they're going to be blue as all hell as i got 8500K globes :)

box says "for off road use only" as well :P - yet to see how.... ah... powerful they are :)

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'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.
    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
    • Hi, Marek here 🙋‍♂️. I finally fulfilled my longtime dream - recently bought Stagea and now waiting for it to arrive in Poland. There's only few of these in my country, and one of the owners  recommended mi this forum as a source of all the info i'd need since now i own one  so here i am.  
    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.
