Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone knows of anything that can be used to clear up faded headlights..

Parents car has one headlight that has gone all frosty.

Noticed this happens to the 33's and Supras...

Can anyone let me know if theres something for it, and where?

Thanx

Andrew

Just jap sell a tube of polish, its japanese, and works a treat. You don't need much and it works pretty easy. I think the tube was expensive for what you get, but its worth it. Its about as big as a small tube of toothpaste and was [guessing] $10-15, but you won't get anything else to work as good.

Kitten cut and polish works great, used it on my lights before the shannons wheel thing a few weekends ago and they turned out great, just dont let it sit for more then 20 seconds :)

board is messing up again so can only post link to pic

Ive had the same issue with my headlights and used 'cut and polish' and its workerd.. does it also need to be done from the inside?

Yeah, if it doesn't fix it up when you do the outside, you send it off to ????? [he was advertising on SAU, but I can't remember who it was] and they cut the headlight open and polish the inside side of the lens and then plastic weld/epoxy it back together and send it back, good as new.

if you dont want to get technical then just put the lights (minus globes) in the oven on a low level, loosens the glue then just pull apart clean and reseal. Ive only heard of this working, never tried it so not sure if it will damage anything.

do a search.

some guy did a xenon transplant in his R33 GTST using this method - looked like a fair amount of work, but came up tops.

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
