Hey,

I'm from Melbourne and I was driving in Clayton and saw a black R34 with 5 or 6 blue LED lights inside the headlights just under the globes like the new Audi's. Does anyone know about this? Is it custom or does someone do it? I'll try and get a pic next time I see it.

I bought those led strips off ebay a few weeks ago as I was gonna do this ..still haven't gotten around to it, mainly because it's a major pain in the ass.. Basically you gotta take you whole front bar off to be able to reach a couple of bolts under the headlights. Remove the entire headlight housing ... bake the headlights in an oven carefully so the glue starts melting (you can use a heatgun too apparently) so that you can pry off the lense off each. Then insert the leds and reseal the lens back using an appropriate sealant..put everything back together and ta-da. Obviously you will need to connect the wires to a 12V source but that should be a trivial matter for any sparky..

Having said that ..I reckon the one in the photo above has too many leds too close together .. fewer LEDs with more space between each would look more awesome. Perhaps even curving them upwards near the parkers..

I like the idea and have been looking into it myself. on my S2 r34 the front bar is thinnner and I could take a bar light of LEDS to look stockish

agree that one has too many LED's but looks nice

Led lights are easy as hell to hook up you dont need a sparky just need to know the right resistor to use for the current draw at 12volts

depends on the LED's but its easy

positive there illegal ....in any colour but white - NOT ADR approved unless marked

you can order pre built ones from the UK with TUV approval for use so at least they wont be a total defect

    • I chose a bad time to buy, at the time there was no gtst's for sale in NSW and my options were qld, vic, or sa and not the greatest examples or too far out of my budget. Ended up picking this one from adelaide sight unseen and got a bit stitched up as you could expect but i dont fully regret it, its just a shame people cant be more transparent in this day and age.
    • IMO just buy a whole R33 transmission and swap the whole thing. Use a palm nailer/air hammer with a roll pin punch to drive the shifter rod end roll pins out. The rod end is discontinued so don't break it. Use gasket dressing on the OEM paper gasket instead of RTV. I personally would not pry on the shifter cover tabs, I broke one trying that instead of just smacking the side with a dead blow rubber mallet to shock it loose from the RTV the last mechanic applied. If you can't get the flanges totally clean and free of any residual RTV and/or you might have a gap that is bigger than it should due to flange damage use RTV on that surface instead of the OEM specced anaerobic sealer. Anaerobic sealer is most likely the right sealant for the job, it's just too easy to mess it up with too large a gap or bad surface prep/roughness seemingly. If you do rebuild what you have it's for a whole gearset that can take high torque. Don't bother with OEM at that point.

    • Full e85 barrell stuff real world for reference if it helps as Ive pushed 2 x sets injectors to limit Above mentioned Bosch 1480cc run on 4 bar base to the apparent 1650cc on rb2.7 yielded 912hp / 684  kw  at 92% duty on hub dyno ID1700's - RB 2.8 ...1015hp / 760 kw at 87% duty - hubber dyno + shown off data on track my opinion IF you change injectors just go bigger than you think you need the modern/ good larger ones run just fine if tuned properly even if way bigger than required even on streeters
