Heya Guys,

Thought I'd post a DIY walk-through for a D2R HID installation I just performed on my BNR34.

In the process of purchasing a HID Kit for my 34 it was fairly frustrating as there was nothing conclusive to

say what is the correct bulb to fit the factory Xenon assembly, nor could I find a DIY specific to a 34; so here

it is! :D

After taking the plunge I can now confidently say the D2R bulbs fits PERFECTLY in the bulb cradle. This kit is

ALMOST plug n play with little to no technical experience but decided to provide the guide for those who aren't

confident and want to give it a go.

KIT: Bosch D2R HID KIT with globe adapters (6000k diamond white)

INSTALL TIME: Approx 1 hour (30min per side)

No problem!

I've now tested and height adjusted and very happy with outcome. Was fearful 6000k may not provide enought 'bright' light but the ballast n globe do a superior job.

Will post an on-road pic when I get a chance.

nice write up.I saw H1 HID kits on the internet using the H1 bulbs connected to the ballast. Not sure how good it is.Been contemplating to do this but most kits i found out there has the xenon chamber bulbs which is bigger and that means i have to cut the caps like you did. still weighing out options if i wanna cut it! arghhhhhh!

Cheers Rych.

To answer your dilemma, just do it! :huh:

I read multiple times the reflector assembly is suited to D2R so knowing I couldn't sleep at night if I took the easier/shorter path I took the D2R path.

Worse case u can easily source new caps if u need too.

Good luck

Ben

My only gripe is that you've compromised the water-tight housing by cutting big holes in them. The factory xenons can fit in there without cutting a big hole in the back - I'm sure you could have found a neater way of running the wiring in from the balast than that :)

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
