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

on the bottom of the page...lol

DAMN ADR RULES!!!! cant even make your car safer then stock without hassles

    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
    • Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.
    • Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
