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??

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
