Hi guys,

can anyone tell me the different between R32 N1 headlight and R32 GTS (non turbo) headlight?

cheers

Apparently there are the clips to hold the GTR grille on with that the GTST lights dont have. Also it has been said that the glass is thinner to make them lighter and the reflection pattern on the inside of the glass is slightly different. I have never seen a pair in person so i cant confirm this, if you want the N1 spec look then simple little brackets can be made to make a gtr grille bolt up without using the clips on the gtr headlights.

Also the non projector headlights were fitted to turbo versions of the sedan (like mine), the inner light is a fog light operated by a button on the dash to the right of the steering wheel, if you have projector headlights than this button would operate your factory fog lights fitted into the mspec front bar.

Be very weary of anyone trying to flog you 'genuine' N1 GTR headlights on ebay if they dont have detailed photos of the clips and can tell you the weight. Go tot eh wreckers and but a set of non projector headlights and make up a bracket for the GTR grille.

There are more threads on this topic if you do a search.

i got the 'semi-clear' headlights, has the brackets for a GTR grille, i was told they were GTS4 headlights

also i dont have side indicators as they headlight blinker sticks out abit.

so what headlights are they?

steve is on drugs. there was no factory HIDs in the N1 lights. they are a normal reflector headlight. lol. "strange type". yes very strange!

Have a look at daves headlights :thumbsup:

Not the reflector part, but the part next to it on the inside :)

    • The team at OBD2 Australia are pretty good, shoot them an email and ask them. I've dealt with them before for work stuff. I'd be shocked if it didn't work, so long as Consult can activate the ABS. But you might need to use KLine for it which would be the stopper, as I don't think that piece does KLine comms.
    • Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.
    • Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using. 
    • There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.
    • Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.
