Mate they are actually series 3 xenon lights.

Rare as hens teeth to buy a set and upwards of $2k for a set.

Don't know anyone in Vic but do know they are available from Nissan and sometimes yahoo auction pages in Japan.

What ant said...

Look on yahoo auctions and get them from japan, expect to pay about 2k for a set with everything... Never seen them on a gtst so make sure they will hook up fine - they should.

Or Call nissan for a quote :(

If you have a series 2 r33 then you will need a carbon fiber bonnet or the likes as the GTR lights wont fit.

the headlights wont fit fullstop.

s3 gtr headlights will only fit onto a s1 gts-t and you do not require any gtr panels, you just need to trim the headlights

Man that's crazy, $2000. Cheaper to do a retrofit and probably better too.

You could retro fit some HID bulbs, but they look no where near as good as original Xenons.

Retrofitting never, ever looks as good as OEM Xenons.

$1500 is a good price above, if they come with everything and are in good condition. Be careful tho, he only joined the other day, typical sign of a scammer to join and reply to a WTB ad with a cheap price...

Nah I didn't mean purchasing those cheap HID kits. No way would I recommend doing that. I meant doing a full retrofit. Same as what ronin did to his headlights. New projectors and globes from a honda euro for example.

Ahh good.... but the problem is the R33 headlights aren't projector style (except for the Xenons).... where as the R32 headlights are projector style.... So it's never going to look right on an R33 doing a retrofit...

soooo i guess i should kiss this mod goodbye?

not even if i get a GTR bonnet, fenders and front bar?

if you have a s1 gts-t, the headlights will bolt straight on all you need to do is trim the headlights (as i shown in that photo) you do not need to change your front bar, bonnet or fenders

They don't look too bad in my opinion.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
