ok here's how it breaks down:

the N1 model was a GTR that was sold predominantly for use by shops to make race cars. so it came with no air con or heavier projector type headlights etc.

so you have:

S1 R32 - Povo Pack headlights (what you've got)

These came standard on all R32's (GTR and non GTR) in the first series

S1 R32 - Projector headlights

These were factory optional upgrades

S2 R32 - Povo Pack headlights (same as S1)

These came on GTS, GTSt, GTS4, GTE and GXi models standard

S2 R32 - Projector headlights (similar to S1's but the plastic moulding around the projector are slightly different)

These were equipped on Type M's, Type G's, Type S's etc and all GTR's, and available as factory optional upgrades.

ALL GTR's had a grill and not an extended bonnet lip, so they needed some way to hold these grilles in. Therefore they made allowances on BOTH pov pack and projector headlights for metal clips to hold the grilles in.

N1 GTR's, being equipped with stock pov pack headlights (which were usually turfed and replaced with a fibreglass or CF panel or duct of some sort) had these clips on them.

Therefore N1 GTR headlights are actually pov pack headlights with GTR clips.

So I hope that clears up the confusion. Anything else you may come by is custom made, be it by Nismo or any other company.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
