if it's keeping the headlights clean then i use re-po polish! polish the crap off and then i start going over it with very fine sand paper! something like a 1200 or finer! and then i go over it again with polish! they still look pretty clean after half a year now!

i am getting my kit on the weekend......from another mate of mine who has a S1.....i always thought that the s2 lights would bolt up to s1 body.....ahh well and kahli what is the deal with putting your lights in the oven....

I think the idea with putting them in the oven is to soften the seals on them, so that you can open em up and get to the insides to polish the crud out...Or at least thats what i gathered from a guide i found somewhere on here...

I thought i was gonna have to do this to mine but it turned out all the crud was on the outside of mine so i just attacked the outsides of em with autosol (metal polish - probably a bit harsh in hindsight, but worked well)...

BS ive found new ones for that price even from nissan they might be pushing 3g for new

>>Brand New GTR $1300 RHS<<

>>Brand New GTR $1300 LHS<<

>>GTR headlights the Pair $1600<<

>>GTR HID $1000<<

all rough prices using Xe.com

Saw at a particular import place, can email u name via PM, $1800 each s/h.

thats kool it was prolly JMS :D there very dear and told me they were getting a GTR front cut soon

if i was ever to upgrade then i would get off yahoo japan

Close, but no. And this was about a year ago. Gotta admit, havent looked anywhere else, so i was just commenting on the basis of what ive personally seen.

  • 2 weeks later...

i use a meguiar's plastics polish to make my headlights come up new again if ne1 is interested in trying something else and you can get it from motoquipe and so on. never tried putting em in the oven but it does sound interesting.

actually thats the reason why I was looking to get some new lights ^^^ my left light has the support inside cracked....so i was thinking of changing both if I could to s2 lights but ahh well

    • That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc. 
    • Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?
    • Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...
    • The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
    • Hi, i’m converted my r34 4dr auto to manual but need help with gearbox wiring. There are bunch of wires no idea which one for speedo drive, neutral, reverse can anyone help me. IMG_6860.mov
