When i bought my 1.5 gts-t, the right hand side headlights are fogged up, there is condensation in there....

if i were to get r33 s2 headlights......is there a perfect fit to my s1.5??, is the dimensions different?

if not

How do i clean the headlight covers and what is a strong glue to seal the headlights back up??

Auto Barn sells some products you can use, Go and ask them. Depending on how bad its fogged you can get 2 different items. One is a spray that you spray on the light cover (its like a plastic polish) and u rub it clean just repeat and it works well. Second is a kit comprising of some wet and dry and a liquid polish. You use the wet and dry from roughest to smoothest and give it a really really good going over untill its completely smooth. Then use the liquid polish on it with a rag.,

I brought both of the items and used them together made my lights good as new.

Hi Skyrin3

Thanks for the info, i just checked my headlights position, just trying to find out how hard it is to get them out....it seems that there are a few screws in awkward positions.....was it hard for you to remove the headlights??.....and did you seal the covers allright at the end??

Yep, I figured the needing of a bonnet would shut you up...

It's pretty much a whole front end conversion, with shit not sitting perfectly etc...

PS: I reckon S2s look like shit... just my 2c... though the headlights are of a better build quality and FAR easier to keep clean :)

If you just change the head lights and bonnet the front bar will sit under the head lights and will not line up properly.

To make it fit and look decent you need:

Head lights, (Expect to pay from a wrecker if your lucky enough to find them $300-500)

Bonnet, ($200-300)

Front bar, ($250-600)

Reo ($200-300)

Wiring for fog lights (if you dont aleady have them on your S1)

Then on top of that you need to paint it all.

Polish the head lights and wack on some eye lid covers.. will prob cost you $80 all up.

I can only find 1set of Sr2 lights in Adelaide and they want $440 for each light :D so if anyone has a set for sale PM me

Yeah, 4get about the S2 headlights unless your serious about the conversion. Do your lights go clear when you wet them for a second b4 returning to normal? Mine did that so I scrubbed them with different cleaning products. JIF worked the best, then I polished them the other day when I was doing the whole car, and they are now clearer than ever. Try that, both products that many of us have lying around, and are much cheaper than buying a full S2 conversion!!

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
