Hey guys,

I got my R34 on road 2 days ago and it looks wicked, esp after i changed the rims. The main gripe i have is they took out the Xenons for compliance and id really like to get some form of HID or Xenons put back in. I dont need the whole assembly, just the globes i think.

But what i want to know is if like autobarn or somewhere sells Xenon kits? ive heard official Nissans are like 2k. And if i get these put on, are they massive cop magnets? Id like to cut down on my routine checks in the 34. I just want to keep it all mostly legal and non defectable lol.

Any info would help

Just read through the Aug copy of Vic-Spec Newsletterm theres a very noice members offer from Phillips in there.

Become a SAU Vic member for under $100 and save another $700+ on your Xenons :O

If that aint incentive i dunno what is.

Well big company like Phillips would of course go through all ADR requirements before marketing their kit in Australia. They've got the financial capacity to go through it and it is passed onto consumers through it's higher price xenon kits.

Most imported ones made by some overseas "drift" garage or chinese/taiwanese made won't even bother to go through ADR testing process cos their selling price would become the same with Phillips or even cost more (no mass production capacity compared to large company) and who would wanna buy their brand if you've got Phillips at the same price....

Spot on rs73.....According to ADRs the headlights have to produce a particular 'shape' of light out the front of the vehicle. The phillips one ia the only one of the kits out there that produces this shape and is therefore legal in Oz.

oh nice :). wait, i have one more question. for HID xenons to be ADR compliant, doesnt it need the headlight washers aswell ? so phillips includes the washer ?

when will the group buy take place ? coz i might be interested in a kit.

sorry for the stupid questions.

ADR says xenons need to be self-leveling and have washers... for OEM.

The Philips product is legal to fit and use as an aftermarket kit.

That said - Golgo has the factory projector xenons installed (no washers or levelers) - and no-one has ever once mentioned anything about it. Was fine for RWC and Police RW inspections.

The details for the member offer is in the latest Vic-spec newsletter. The offer is currently for R33 series cars only.

Email me if you are interested in more detail on the Philips kits - and I'll put you in contact with David Clerk - their sales manager for automotive lighting.

I got the factory xenons in mine... no trouble from anyone yet. Saying that though, some of the european luxury cars have xenons that are much brighter than mine so I don't know what the go is there.

Could be a dumb thought, but since the R34 headlight housing is plastic... would a 8500k bulb be too hot and possibly melt it? My factory xenons generate a bit of heat already and they are nowhere near 8500k

I have the factory nissan r34 xenons in mine... but my car was complianced before the import rules changed. the headlight level can be adjusted to 4 different levels via a switch inside the cabin. they also make a faint buzzing sound when they are on if you put your ear near the headlight where the transformer box is underneath the headlight.

Dan: $390 sounds like globe prices.

The xenons need the ballast pack - which is where most of the money is.

Replacement Xenon bulbs for Golgo were about $300. That's cheap.

Honda quote about $700 per bulb only for the Accord Euro.

Michael (BOS Importing) has good prices :(

I'll take pics soon, but i've got ballast and globes. Full kit. 8500k globes.

I've still got the OEM Xenon assembly, so i hope they're up to the task of the 8.5k globes :)

i can BYOBB them down to the BBBQ if anyone is interested?

Korean made, the boxes look stylish at least :) not sure how they go but someone else in this thread they got the Kaixens as well. Not sure how they stack up against the Philipps.

      Great work! Give it a clean up with some Emery paper, and I'd run a thread die over the threads too to clean them up. It will make reinstall much easier, and also life easier for the next time it needs to come out.

      I'm not a fan of high humidity, it's one reason I don't mind being further inland out Ipswich, except the last 3 odd years, the drought broke, and it won't stop raining, which is making the humidity nearly unbearable when the rains are in during summer! For me, my body hates the cold, once the cold sets into my body, I'm totally screwed. I end up with severe muscle spasm in my back/shoulder muscles, and it feels like someone is trying to tear the muscles out. I have no issues with it getting stupid hot, so long as the humidity goes away. So the last 3 years as above, have been woeful! Ha ha. However, June 1st, and I'm only just converting from shorts and a tee, to long pants and a t shirt. And that's mainly as it's a bit wet and miserable and I wanted to work on a car.

      I much prefer colder weather to hot weather, and especially prefer cold to hot and humid, Goulburn does gets pretty warm in the hotter months, but, I've found the humidity there is not as painful as even Sydney, the humidity up north is to oppressing for this old rooster  In saying this, it does get rather "nippy" in Goulburn for early morning, late in the evening walks, but nothing that a layer or two, some thermal gloves, and a beanie doesn't fix to make it an enjoyable experience, which is much more bearable to me than the oppression of heat and humidity,  especially at night when your trying to sleep If I recall correctly, a "wise man" once said that the "Southern Tablelands" was gods country, and I will not argue that point with him for the fear of a "permaban" LOL In car part related news: My intake is currently in Botany getting processed for the last leg of its shipping journey to my door
