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?? :)

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

I have pulled a few r31 lights apart with the oven method and did an awesome job of resealing and restoring them however a word of warning before you put the glass or plastic back on,make sure both parts are at ambient temperature before you do or you'll get condensation inside the glass/plastic and it seems to come back even if you turn the lights on for a while to dry it out,there's some physics involved not sure what, to avoid condensation,I put mine back together warm thinking to avoid this problem and got it, so I can only think to do the opposite and wait till everything is cool.

Also you'll find with r31 or 32/33/34 lights that they get discolouration on the outside underneath part because dirt seems to get under the factory coating they used to form the reflective base colour to the glass or plastic, I fix this by getting a razor rego sticker remover and scaping it all off clean then use some hi/temp aluminium engine enamel in a spray can, if they used silver, or another colour to suit, must be hi-temp paint though and after masking it up painting the bottom part in light layers 3 or 4 coats to get perfect cover,and voila,like brand new.Hope this helps Cheers Grey Pearl.

i now use

P10_PLASTX_2.jpg

every 6 months odd and they come up like factory :P

just rub on heaps of the shit with a rag, scrub it in real hard and wipe off/polish with another rag.

I,ve also used the PlasticX Polish, Love it, and it actually does what it's suppose to do.

another +1 for PlastX, great stuff

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
