Hey Guys,

Just wondering if there is anyone who either has a matching set of headlights (Left and Right), or knows of a cheap wreckers where i can find some (e.g. less then $380 each!!! Bloody dear) to fit a Series1 R33 GTS-t - FOR SALE.

Had a bingle the other day and pretty much have written-off both of the headlights so have to look for the cheapest replacement ones possible!!!

P.S. This is a question that no-one has been able to answer me, can Series2 headlights fit into a Series1 - as i know structually inside they are different - if this is the case then i'm also looking for a set of series2 headlights - as they look heaps better!!!!!

Any Help Much Appreciated,

I have two near new Series 1 headlights I don't need... I bought them for my Series 1 GTS-t, put them on for about a month, then took them off because I sold it.

I took the black things off the back of one of the headlights, but you can just use the ones off your old ones to replace them.

As I said, they're seriously about a month old, and look brand new. I'll let them go for $500 for both of them.

Email me: [email protected] if you're interested.

There are four round, black plastic discs that you turn and remove to get access to the bulbs. I removed two from one of the headlights, the other headlight is untouched.

You cracked all four of those discs?!?!?

Most nissan dealers can order in new ones from Japan but it would be $$$$

I recently just replaced my left headlight. The old one got smashed, I got it from a wrecking yard that specialises in Jap Imports. I didnt find one place that sells them for less than $380. They are hard to find, so if you can get one for $380 and they have them in stock then buy it as soon as you can.

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
