You will find that your lights are crazed ( they have tiny little cracks on the lens from exposure to the sun) nothing short of changing them can fix it . Put your lights on at night and look in the lens you will the tiny little cracks . Polishing them fixes it for a little while, well makes them look better, not realy fixes them.

Mine are pretty bad on my R33, so i was going to replace them, but everywhere i inquire they all want anywhere from 350 to 450 per head light.

Is there anywhere I can get a set from that is not going to hurt my hip pocket to much. 700-900 for a pair of second hand oem headlights is a bit steep for me.....unless im cheap :D

I see some on US Ebay second hand ones that start low, but unsure if they will comply with AU standards?

Is it possible just to replace the headlight lenses wit new ones?? I know they're sealed on,

but are there places that heat off the old one and can fit a new one on? Can you buy just the lenses from nissan?

S2 Headlights new from nissan are $500+ each

I have a good pair, no fogging and nothing broken you can have them for $350.

Get some really fine sandpaper, and some warm soapy water, and sand the headlights until you get a milky residue.

You can repeat again with a more corse paper, but still really fine.

Then cut and polish it with some good polish.

Has worked for me before, so give that a go.

Takes away the hazey yellow layer, and makes them pretty damn clear.

My xenons have gas marks on the inside of the lens, and from what i've heard the lights are totally sealed so apart from using a heat gun or something to open em up anyone else opened R34 len's ot cleaning the inside of them?

I use Meguires PlastX. It's a clear plastic polish specially designed for faded plastic and works pretty well. A few people i know thought i replaced the headlight. For $18 you cant really fault it except that you have to re-apply it every 1-2 months.

lol 18 $$$$$$$$$$$$$

i just use 20 cents worth of polish and a bit of wax and it last for 2 months

has anyone else tried the wetrub with 1500 like mentioned earlier?

there is a new 29 $ dollar headlight kit i seen in supercheap but cant rem the company?

I know for the supras theres a mob that makes glass lenses for them. You can unseal the standard ones with a heat gun or oven or something, then replace the lens with a glass one and never worry about fading.

Any one made like a replacement glass lens for the skyline head lights instead of plastic??

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
