She Has Arrived :)

[Viscount]

Hey all,

I finally got my R34 today after a long 5 month wait for compliancing etc. Let me just say it was DEFINITELY worth the wait! The kit looks so sweet, and she's in perfect condition. I haven't given it a hard go yet, but it's definitely not sluggish

I'll post some pics tomorrow when I get the digi out.

Just a question though, I always thought that Xenon lights were Halogens (the bluey tint lights). For some reason mine have no blue in them?

Cheers people

Xenon is a brand name...they rip the HID guts out and replace with crappy halogen

Congrats!!!

Don't tell me you wanted the car because of the blue lights, it's just the frequency or temperature of light....4500-5000K will get you the blue tint from HID.

Also...is Xenon is a brand name???

Xenon is the gas they use to get the blue light which also gives them that directive narrow band of light...

I never suggested that's why I wanted the car. I was just wondering why they weren't blue. Any way of changing the frequency as u said?

Just having a dig at you mate

No you can't change the frequency via any means such as voltage. It's the bulb itself, buy ones with 5000K or higher, going into the blue temperature range.

edit: here is Kelvin colour temperature scale for your reference as you can see where blue light starts.

are they changed over at compliance or something

[Viscount]

I don't think I'll bother changing them. They are quite alright as is.

[OBaYBe]

Enough of the chit-chat on with the pics!

[adznight]

Yes they are changed. The remove the Xenon globes, modify the housing to suite the Halogens and then they remove the power packs and re-wire them.

I agree it all depends on the person, if it does the job leave it. Personally after changing from PIAA Xtreme White (4150K) to PIAA Super Plasma blubs 5000K Low Beam, 3800K High Beam. I probably go back to the Xtreme white, I find the blue strains my eyes and if you have tinted windows you may find it more difficult depending...thus why we have HID kit.

Congratulations mate

Sounds like a nice ride.

Mind me asking how much you paid? - My girlfriend is looking for an N/A R34 at the moment...

Have fun with it... and post some pics !!!

[Viscount]

Pics will be up tomorrow.

It's so etch though, the very day I get my new car (and just a few weeks after getting my license), a group of girls I know, in exactly the same boat as me (ie. new car, new license) are in a horrific car crash in which the car flipped one of them died. I hadn't met the girl who was killed, but one of the girls I'm really really good friends with is in intensive care (she had a blood clot in the brain, but should recover - we're hoping she wasn't brain damaged).

Just proves that speed limits exist for a reason, and that you have to be bloody carefull as a new driver! Really put a dampner on getting a new car, especially after seeing the crash scene :|

[Goon]

hey man, i also knew the people in that car crash i think your talking about. you talking about the peugot silver convertible that flipped in mosman? i kind of knew the driver and one of the passengers. are they alright though? shame about that girl jade though.

[Viscount]

Yeh it's the one in moman. The driver walked away uninjured, 2 other girls suffered injuries, and the other died.

[Viscount]

Ok finally got some pics. I'll take some more tomorrow with my digi cam. These were taken on my mates camera today whilst the car was wedged in the garage (so you couldnt really get any good shots)

Tomorrow we're going to take some pics of all our cars around the harbour (I know it's a bit cliched, but oh well), and I'll also get some of it in the underground parking area of my apartments (so I'll be able to get some nice side on shots)

Anyway here they are:

[boj01]

really nice car!! the kit looks good, but not a huge fan of the huge wing to be honest :Paranoid:

[JaFF]

me either, how much for the r34?

and who'd u get it through?

[Viscount]

Yeh I've had nothing but negative comments about the wing. I really like it though

[JaFF]

so how much was it? and where'd u get it from?

or maybe you don't know cuz your parents brought it for you???

lol
