LOL

I have been hunting for a pair of 'RARE AS ROCKIN HORSE SHIT' series 2 R33 headlights for over 2 years to replace my not so crash-hot pair that's currently on the car as I refuse to pay drug money for them, new or otherwise.

Anyways, I found a pair on US Ebay - a local importer over there had a pair in his new shipment and since not many people have Skylines over in the States, nobody bidded against me, the auction started at 99 cents.....AND ENDED AT $41 USD ! The other person that bidded probably wanted them for a conversion into his 240SX - to make a fake Skyline.

I paid $41 + $50 shipping for a pair in excellent condition with no broken tabs what so ever.....

NOW THATS A F*&KIN BARGAIN ! :)

Just be aware of which direction the projectors reflect light.

They should be something like --\___ --\____ beams for Australia and ___/-- ___/-- for USA.

If they like like the 2nd one when shined against the wall, you need to open up the headlights and swap out the projectors, so as to not blind on-coming people when driving.

If they came from Japan in a shipment, you wont have an issue, and the other guy bidding would have found them useless anyways.

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
