How much higher is your left headlight compared to the right? Usually the left headlight is higher than the right to light up signs or something. If you want to adjust the height, there should be two (if I remember correctly) screws behind the headlight housing. One should be to adjust the up and down movements, another left and right. Play around with them to see where they go and adjust.

There's no need to change housings.

when you park in front of white wall, say about 30cm away from the wall, the difference is about 10cm higher than right one....

i cant find screw behind the headlight house..... can you please show me as picture please? all i see is screw on the top of house.........

cheers mate

I found this thread on how to adjust an R32 headlight, but it shouldn't be too different from an R34. Just use it as a guide and see if you can adjust it. I'll try to find a better thread for you.

This mite sound silly but cant you adjust the headlights up and down electronicly in the cabin? maybe one is not working with the switch?

I don't thing you'll be able to adjust the headlights in your seat. When you're adjusting you headlights, you're moving parts inside the headlight housing (tilting the projector up and down or side to side if it were a projector headlight).

Maybe you've mistaken it for high and low beams where you just flick the switch?

Dial on the dash changes both headlights at once.. it uses a little engine to adjust up and down .. i think its about 3degrees or so at a time .. 4 selections avaliable..

On the back of your headlight under the bonnet is a white 6 sided hexagon thingo .. if your facing the headlight from the front of the car use a shifter to rotate it to the left (up) and right (down) to adjust headlights

The ;eft hand light is meant to be a few degrees lower than the right to prevent blinding the person facing your car.. but most people have them even for looks :thumbsup:

Now park your car on a straight street at night and bob down till your eye level with the front window .. slowly drop down until you meet the light of the headlights in your eyes.. then you can see if your correctly level .. the lights are not meant to be higher than 45 degrees a good position is about 35 degrees for halogen and 30 degrees for HID (to be safe)

Dont do this if your using HID its very bright .. Park infront of a car about 5cm from its ass (make sure its clean) and adjust it using the focus point of the light .. the focus point is the middle of the beam and looks like a straight horizontal line accross the back of the car .. when your at 45 degrees with that line its way to high .. make sure its about 5cm below 45 degrees

      Not stock. All remade. Mostly looks stock because the pipes run to and from the standard holes in the inner guard to get to the return flow FMIC. I'm not sure which question you're trying to ask, because it seems like "stock position" vs "stock position".

      Hey, it's a GT-R, it's just as significant a moment as mine😁 It's not ideal when things are uncertain; I'm the type of person that always has a set plan for things in life so being unsure of this plan puts me in a weird place mentally.

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card style AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had no flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?
