i have the same problem with my r33 gtst i asked around for some one to clean it and they wanted $100 bucks to clean each headlight i told him to take a jump.

i also asked autobarn and they suggested some headlight cleaner for about $20 didnt really see a result.

You can use Brasso to polish, then finish with meguires plasticX.

Although if the problem is IN the plastic and not on the surface of either inside or outside and its faded to a yellow, then there's nothing you can do.

Polishing merely just removes the majority of the hazyness and the scratches that cause hazyness and makes it alot clearer.

It's kinda like glass thats made with tint inside it as part of glass. Rub all you want but its still gonna be there.

If your really concerned then buy new lights :dry:

I use meguirs (sp) cut and polish... worked a treat :)

if you want ot clean the inside, you have to take thel lights out, open them up (oven preheat to 200, turn OFF, 15 mins in, pry apart) then put them back together with some sikaflex...

yeh thats why i use polish/wax it keeps them clean for a while, i mean the dirt or stains if u like, dont stick to the surface, because the wax and polish doesnt allow it... i havent had to clean my headlights for over 3 months...

Yes the brand is mothers, Product plastic cleaner, ive been told the use it to remove light scratches from glass as well. super cheap sell it :D

Covered b4, search button is your friend. Well coz im nice here's the direct link. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...showtopic=16255

Get some kerosene or turps and pour some into the light and shake around then tip out n let evaporate. Doing this is also best way to get an moisture stuck in there out. But if there is moisture in there u may a crack somewhere!

Sounds harsh but seriously this works...try it on some other clear plastic if you dont believe me.

- Wet some 2000 grit wet&dry sand paper and evenly sand up the surface of the headlight

- Clean it off and dry it completely.

- At this point you wil hate me because your light will be all faded and look like shit

- Whip out some standard automotive cut and polish and work it over the headlight

It should come up crystal clear.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
