Hi guys.

Recently blew the bulb in the right-hand side headlight. I've been doing a bit of a search and people have been saying that you have to get 'D2R' headlight bulbs or something?

Can I not just buy the bulbs that they sell down at the local Supercheap or Repco?

Also getting the bulbs in.. Seems quite tricky since I can't really fit my fingers anywhere near the back of the bulb holder. What's the easiest way to replace the bulbs?

Cheers.

Remove you battery and you should have plenty of room,

did mine a couple of weeks back,

just unscrew the dust cap and sqeeze the spring clip change it and put everything back.

are you using the factory xenon plugs or normal halogen globes?

try ebay,

i bought a HID kit for mine, both headlights for about $60, so a globe should be next to nothing,

just make sure you get the right globe.

HID globes from auto shops anre upwards from $200 depending on what type of globe

How the heck is there such a massive difference in prices for these? ZXY you said you paid $40, whilst R34Mobster paid $275 for a pair and I paid $308 for ONE! I'll wait till I get it from the shop next monday and will update you guys.

did xspeed sell it to you? If so try and take it back cause they've taken advantage of you. As others have said hop on eBay or find a trader on here you can get 2 for less than 100

you need to do research before paying that type of money. $308 is alot of money for a bulb. If you went to dealers, i doubt it would even have been that much.

pull out one of your current bulbs and have a look. on it you should see some code/model number, and some of that should contain "D2R" if you're lucky. If so, then yeah it's the right bulb you linked on ebay. if you're not sure then chuck up a pic for us here and we can verify for you. also, i should mention that if you want to go the Japanese spec, search up garax HID on ebay, they are great bulbs.

      HyperGear vs Pulsar Turbo RB25DET

      By Eric0 · Posted

      UPDATE: Hi all!  As we are getting towards the end of this thread where I’ll showcase final dyno numbers and graph, I wanted to provide an update. Tao from HyperGear has done an amazing job building the custom divided T3 housing for the G30. Communication was flawless, price was great, and now the housing is estimated to arrive in 7-10 days! Very very pleased. I must add, if someone is looking for an affordable turbo and end up reading this thread, I would recommend HyperGear. Genuine brands are the way to go as their proven reliability, predictable performance, and there’s a plethora of information available for specs, flow, and more. This HyperGear recommendation is based on their excellent communication, dedication, and willingness to listen to their customers. I particularly liked their ability to create custom adaptations tailored to specific needs, which is a HUGE benefit over other brands. And if we consider the HyperGear provided dyno results, it adds reassurance knowing their turbos can compete against genuine brands. Next update will be after the dyno!

      I've previously seen people post up "dress up bolt kits" for RBs but don't remember seeing them specify the full contents. I can only really suggest you grab the verniers and start measuring, and keep in mind the cam cover and timing cover bolts are both quite specific with a wider unthreaded section where the bushes sit, that will make it hard to get aftermarket replacements which tend to be all thread (set screws) or for longer bolts a flat section with a shorter threaded section at the end

      R34 GTT Battery Relocation To Trunk

      By Beanie · Posted

      I believe there was a similar one posted by @duggyphresh. They were re-routing their battery positive cable in the way I am also trying to achieve. Sorry, I’m new to this forum, so was a bit late to the party by a few months and so reignited the old thread, as I wanted to know how they got on with doing it.

      R34 GTT Battery Relocation To Trunk

      By Beanie · Posted

      Hi all! Looking to relocate the battery to the trunk of an R34 GTT. I want to do it using as many stock GTR components as I can (including the harness protectors from the 34 GTR that run underneath along the chassis to the engine bay). So far I’ve purchased the battery tray from a 33 GTR, as the captive weld nuts are already there just asking to be used. There is also the slight issue of now having to relocate the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU, which in GTT’s sits right above where the battery will then sit on the tray. Has anyone already achieved this, and if you have any pics that you wouldn’t mind sharing? It would be great to see how others have done it and where you put them, as there are countless holes in the parcel shelf panel to potentially use. Just trying to get some ideas bounced around, and to help uncover any potential problems I may encounter by  my choice of location. TIA for any help!
