Ok, firstly, never ever ever leave your parkers unplugged from your headlight for a couple of days. I did (waiting to get time to go up and get a replacement bulb), and somehow water managed to get into the headlight... and now, it fogs up constantly (with water on the inside of the lens cover), and also it's cleaned the inside of the headlight, so the one that fogs up is now crystal clear (when you can see past the condensation), and the other one has a very slight yellow tinge. You can imagine how annoyed I am about all this.

Anyway, although i'm going to try and take the lens cover off my headlights (using an oven etc), just wondering if that doesn't work, where can I source new R33 S3 GTR headlights from? They have to be zenon... I have all the hid parts etc

(yes I don't imagine they'll be cheap but the fogging is pissing me off)

So pissed off lol, the headlights were perfect as a week ago...

Hahahahhaha this would annoy the crap out of you being such a perfectionist with cars.

I suggest the usual places, but they will take all your coin the moots.

JustJap & other jap spares places.

Possibly Nissan themselves - lube up before you ask for a price there though.

Yeah man, I'm perfectionist when it comes to cars (as you know haha), so this frustrates the hell out of me.. everytime I look at it I get teh shits lol

I'll give justjaps a go, and eventually try Nissan themselves. Anyone happen to have a part number? I was hoping it might be cheaper as I already have the HID components etc, just need the actual glass and plastic backing. Most likely not though

Give me a VIN and I can FAST it for you..... wont be for a till tomorrow though,

Could ask in the VIN's you want FASTed thread for a quicker response.

That site looks awesome mate - thanks! I didn't think there'd be a company that does this kinda stuff!

I just spoke to them and it's $150 + GST per unit... that includes taking them apart, polishing, new seals etc etc. 2 days turnaround for the work + shipping time.

Pretty good deal, I'll get both done and they'll look brand new (the non - buggered one looks awesome at the moment but I'd prefer if they matched spot on)

Can you please let me know how you go with this mob, I've got S3 headlights in my S2 (not setup as xenon units, just normal headlights) and they have a yellowish tinge on the inside and the overall appearance is slightly milky and cloudy, they aren't as bad as some I've seen, but I'd like them crystal clear and schmick.

I'd have a go myself, as I have done the oven thing with some civic headlights, but I don't want to risk ruining these as they would be damn hard to find and cost a fortune!

Where are you located? Can you let me know the complete cost and turn-around time and if you are happy with the outcome?!?

Thanks

Michael

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
