My R34 is on its way and recently Ive just learnt that it comes with factory xenons. Many thanks to the new import laws, now they would be modified and changed to halogens in the compliance process :P . Does anyone have a spare set of R34 halogen lights lying around that I can borrow for a few weeks so I can use it to comply the car, or know anywhere I can hire them.On the same topic did most of you guys that had imported a 34 in Perth get to keep your factory xenons.

Any advice would be great :P because I really want to keep the xenons.

My factory xenons are still sitting at home.

If I knew how they were originally installed I'd probably do it as the compliance halogens are dim even compared to other halogens.

I don't think the compliance ones cost all that much, maybe $120?

Im guessing they didnt modify your headlights to fit the halogens, at least you still got to keep your xenons. Yeah for sure mate the xenon looks heap better, im sure someone on SAU would be able to help you on the installation. Haha if only they are that cheap I was told the halogen lights are around $500 each.

My halogens are just glued inside the original headlights.

If you don't manage to get a compliance headlight kit talk with your complaincer and work out if it's legal to remove the headlights before delivering the car to them.

Mine were effectively destroy because legally they have to, I just got to keep the left overs.

They probably can be repaired but I don't know if anything is missing from them as I don't have the instructions they used to remove them.

drmafia - How did you get to keep your xenons? Did you take them out before compliance and replaced it with halogens? Because I was told I needed a set of halogens to keep the xenons and they arent cheap haha. Yeah technically they are stock just print out a spec sheet of the r34 keep it in your car and show it to the cops next time they try to have a go. Yeah for sure makes a big difference lucky u got to keep yours buddy.

gazza750 - Oh sounds like a peice of cake mate haha, but I was told unless I get a set of halogens they would have to modify the headlight. So I dont think I can just replace the xenons back correct me if Im wrong.

i think it depends on the workshop doing the compliance and how they have been passed... i read on one of these posts on this giant SAU of ours something to that effect.

so if they originally did an r34 compliance by destroying the lights then that is the way it always has to be done...

but heck i am no raw

I didnt say u said that mate, all I was implying is that you make it sound easy thats all :ermm: . When complying the car they have to modify the headlight therefore even if they give me back wats left of the parts I wouldnt be able to just simply convert them back to xenons. If it was that simple I wouldnt be going through this process of trying to find me another set of halogen headlights :D .

The lights had to be changed under the old rules too.

My R34 was one of the first and no one was converting them yet so I bought a new set of Halogen lights off Nissan for about a $1000 then changed them out and sold the Halogens on for about $700.

That's an option. I don't believe these modded lights are tested or a long term proposition but that's my opinion only of course.

R34 - Oh I see I thought under the old rule they let you keep the old xenons. Dont think i have a 1k lying around since the car has already killed my bank balance. But im really keen to keep the factory xenons.....

hey champ.

the place where you are getting your car complied should have a set of original R34 lights as the car was not factory standard with Xenon. If they dont you will have to source a set and borrow some as in NSW that they pull off the Xenons for complience. If it is a GTR your front bar has to come off to put them on. Its a bitch pulling the bar off and then back on

I have just this weekend hooked back up the xenon lights in my 34. I thought the old halogen globes looked ok, but man what a difference! The xenon’s are champion! The compliance mob just left the xenon system intact etc, they just unhooked them. They put in an adapter type plate that fits into the hole that the xenon globe originally fits into. And wired up a normal halogen globe. So it can be done with your xenon headlights. There should be no need to put in different headlight assemblies etc. And like what the other guys said, i think it just depends on who is compliancing the car and how by they book they are.

Cheers for the info Luke, nice looking R34 you have there :angry: if thats yours in your avatar. Yeah definately mate makes a huge difference, the halogen globes sucks compared to the xenons. Can you pm me which workshop complied your car ?

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?

      Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
