G'day ppl,

Thought Id start this thread to show you a custom set of ER34/BNR34 HID HLs that I'm going to be finishing hopefully this weekend.

The custom projector HLs that I've seen on the net so far look like Sh!t tbh...

Here are the specs & parts list for the HLs:

* Full Satin Black finish using VHT Prime Coat SP305. Produces an effortless smooth finish

* Honda Euro (aka: TSX) HID projectors sourced by Jesse Streeter off Yahoo Auctions Japan

* 2.5" TSX-R clear lenses from TheRetrofofitSource . com

* 3" OEM E46 shrouds with the XENON logo. Sourced from eBay

Let the pix begin:

RHS HL pulled apart. High beam reflector masked up to keep dust free:

OEM E46 shroud will be retrofitted to sit inside the HID reflector:

Pic of both XENON logos. Unfortunately, the R34 one has to go:

The reflector is attached to the HL housing at 3 points. I took these pics so I could see the position on the adjustment screw for when it comes time to removing the reflector off the HL.

Here's a pic of the Honda Euro projector disassembled. The cut off shield is masked and ready for paint:

Crappy OEM fresnel lense vs Aftermarket TSX-R clear lense. You can see "swirling" effect on the lense. This is designed to blur the output. The TSX-Rs will sharpen it all up:

Wow you are extremely game, chopping up a set of 34 headlights, but am definitely keen to se how it turns out!

Not a cheap exercise if you get it wrong, thumbs up for going to the effort :thumbsup:

Yeah I'm "extremely game" and I've been known to "get it wrong" most of the time :)

You have no idea shinobi_s14 on what a "ballsy move" I'm doing to your HLs. Ask the last guy how impressed he was when I was "slicing and dicing" his Kia HLs

Check out my username, "EvoXenoN" for google pix of all the headlights that I've stuffed up HERE.. So funny!!!

UPDATE #2

RHS HL fitted to car and ready for the projector to be rotationally aligned before getting permanently fixed in

image-1963.jpg

Centre of the projector lense is measured to the ground. The figure in this case is 590mm

image-1041.jpg

I didn't have a long stretch of wall to test and align the output so I improvised. I stacked up a few orange containers and stuck A4 pieces of paper in the middle. The light will shine somewhere in the middle of the paper across all three stacks. They've been placed about 5m from the car

image-1276.jpg

Close up of the A4 paper showing a strip of black electrical tape stuck on. The top edge of the electrical tape is measured at 565mm from the ground. This is 25mm lower than the height of the middle of the projector to the ground. The low beam output will be aligned to this height.

image-227.jpg

Here's a pic showing the Honda Euro projector in the low beam reflector

image-894.jpg

Close up of one of the corner shows the application of JB Weld to help bond the projector to the reflector. I did this on 2 other areas and waited about 20min for the bond to harden

image-1987.jpg

OEM reflectors removed from the HL housing then more JB Weld applied around the projector.

Projector body and lense masked for paint

Blacked out

image-1004.jpg

XENON logo masked on the OEM E46 shroud and ready for about 3 coats of white paint. It takes me about 1hr to mask one shroud... That's 2hrs right there.. Lots of tiny pieces of masking tape

image-1213.jpg

Parker housing masked as the surrounding area will be blacked out

image-2249.jpg

Everything fitted up minus the lenses. They were quite yellow from oxidation that they wouldn't show any detail of the work I've done

Stay tuned for when the HLs are polished + install pix...

      I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want.

      R33 GTST Axles

      Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue.

      R34 Speedo not working after manual swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder

      Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
