I've finally found them!!

I can't quite bring myself to spending USD2469.04 on a set of headlight but damn i want them so badly!

http://www.rhdjapan.com/jdm/BCNR33-Kouki-X...eadlights-12139

Anyone have a pic of these on a car? Anyone have these at all? Anyone know if they're any good or worth the money?

I'm seriously considering it and want to be talked out of it before i splurge when i know i need the money for more important things :P

mite be cheaper just to get r33 gtr series 3 headlights which came with xenon headlights,

i think i've read that they directly fit on series 1 r33 gts-ts but i'm not sure..

but prepared to still pay a heft price i think they are around 2k second hand

Bang for your bucks!

Contact God_speed for R33 GTR headlights with Xenon conversion.

Like a third of the price probably??

I never saw any discoloration or scratches on his lenses either before he upgraded - seemed to be perfect.

Cheers,

Tez

I wouldn't buy them man, they'll end up costing you round $2800 with current exchange rates, not sure if you have to pay tax too on top of that?

plus if you've got a series 1 you'll need some mods to fit and possibly a new front bumper/bonnet/grille, so yeah, upto you in the end I guess, but for nearly $3k you could get a nice power increase

Anyone have a pic of these on a car? Anyone have these at all? Anyone know if they're any good or worth the money?

Ahh, they're just the standard S3 GTR headlights, they came as an option on the S2 GTR's. They'll basically bolt straight in with the exception of the Grille if you have a S1 R33... Worth the money??? probably not unless your priority is aesthetics.

ouch, yeah that is quite a lot

where are you from?

sets of lights in NZ usually go for round 200-300 for the pair on Trademe here

there's a couple of ebay australia if you are a member:

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Nissan-R33-GTS-GTST...1QQcmdZViewItem $102 current bid

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Nissan-R33-GTS-GTST...1QQcmdZViewItem $0.99c current bid

I'd expect both to go for round $150 each, did you have an accident and crack yours, or are you looking at upgrading the series 1?

    • 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".
    • Just wanted to unearth this and post my baby with the new front ❤️😝 Took her to my wedding rehearsal today. Next up is getting wide skirts (after wedding)
