Hi i know this has been covered b4, plenty of times, but i can't find what im looking for...with the headlights, creating that brown/yellow shit, i read that it can be cleaned. I ran some polish over mine, cleaned them up they look shinnier :) not that they were that bad. But when the headlight is on you can still see the foggy crap.

Now my question is, if i can get into the headlight and clean it from the other side will it permenatly damage the plastic...Cuz i don't know maybe it has like an anti fog on the back *bullshit; its not working if it does*....basically asking if i attempt this is it in the all clear.

(Wanna get them clean b4 i make eyelids)

Cheers.

Cleaning the inside won't do any damage if you open it up properly.

I recommend using a heat gun to melt the glue rather than putting it in the oven. I've had headlights melt while it was in the oven, it could've been because my oven was too small :) . I've since then used a heat gun to open up lights and it's all good. Just heat one section at a time and pull out, heat up another, pull out, etc.

You'll have to keep cleaning it to keep it looking nice like siddr20 said.

    • I was 99% sure the standard one is long enough to get there, you might just have to change the throttle orientation. If not, I remember someone having used an r31 cable instead, but that is probably harder to find than r33 by now...
    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
