hi guys, its about my R34 headlights

i got this yellowish mark inside my headlight, well i dont quite know how to explain it but you guys probably know anyway the good old mark in old car headlight..

question is simple how to get rid off it?? :P

I want it to be nice clear and shiny, i asked a guy who sells HIDs but he said if he opened it up, polish it, and close it again, it wouldnt be perfect and when rain comes, some water vapour will get inside and shit and leaves water marks..

cheers

This has been covered many times before mate. Next time do a search, but you can just use and polish to remove the yellow cover depending on how bad it is. If something like Maguires Scratch X doesn't work then you'll have to open up the head light. To do that, you'll need to put the headlight in your oven to melt the glue, open, clean, etc.

The reason the HID guy told you it won't be perfect is because most people don't buy new seals, they just re-heat and stick the cover back on. If you got new glue to seal it up, it should be like new.

just use some cut and polish . kitten works well , then use something smoother . buff it well with heaps of elbow grease. i sanded my headlights right back from 400 gritt all the way to 2000 gritt . they turned out un believable. i also did it to a friends car , and the sprayed his headlights with clear gloss and they havent got yellow ever since. perfection

:D:(:) guys, c-red actually polished my headlights when i did my 10k service, he uses some kind of japanese plastic cleaner... :D GO JAPANESE!!

works excellent, was very happy, and the guy said u can get similar plastic cleaner from super cheap auto, so im gonna do that the next time its need a clean!!

thx for the reply anyway, prob solved :D

eyy buddy their is this stuff that looks like cut and polish, but you just rub it on the headlights and it gets rid of all that shit... my mate showed me it i can get you the name of it if you like. but it does a bloody good job lol

Permatex, Headlight restoration kit. This involves wet sanding your lights with a fine wet dry in 3 stages. then using the plastic polish supplied in the kit to finish it off. 30 bucks a kit does 2 lights easily. I have used it and it goes awesome.

If you have mad yellow lights you just sand more. you see it all come off in the water you sand with. then the polish smooths the scratches and your lenses are clear again.

I know Autobarn stock this. But i suppose anyone who stocks permatex can too!

    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.  
    • No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
