my headlights are all dirty inside, just wondering if there is a way cleaning them/opening them up?

Also is it possible to get the front cover remoulded or something to get rid of all the scratches so its all nice and clear?

Anyone got the same problem?

if they are yellow then just use a car wax of some sort doesnt really matter which one and makes a huge difference. half the stuff you think that is inside the headlight comes up with a bit of elbow grease.

there are other threads on this somewhere around SAU

no its not the yellow stuff on the outside, its like moisture or some dust/dirt on the inside of it.

I bumped into another line owner in the BP station on Canterbury Rd near Canterbury, he told me to use colgate tooth paste! yes Colgate toothpaste, and it worked! its alot more clear now, give it try!

Do you clean the headlights from the outside with that toothpaste ?

Im asking how to clean them from the inside...

i used a light cut and polish (supposed to be for paint) but worked a charm... for the outside crapness that comes and goes...

to get to the inside, you gotta heat the oven to 150, chuck em in, turn the oven OFF, wait 15 mins, take out, then pull apart... use tools cause that shit will be hot... and use tools you dont care about cause you will get black sticky shit all over your tools...

getting them back together though, i dunno, you may have to buy some new sticky shit...

they should be pretty well sealed though... if you got crap on the inside, i suggest you find out how it got in there and fix that too...

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
