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.

      If there's enough meat in the housing where you want to put the M12 adapter, then do it, but be aware that if/when you f**k that up you'll probably be repairing it before doing anything else. I'd just drill it out and tap ina 1/4" thread. No need for rocket surgery when the next most obvious thing will do. You could throw a 1/4 x 1/8 bush in there and use the same fitting you intended to use.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      Is the only issue that the oil catch can is getting filled on hard runs? I'd be thinking more about oil control issues rather then the head lifting, especially as you aren't seeing spiking in the coolant pressure.  Do you need restrictors in the head, or better drains from the head? Does the sump need venting to the catch can?

      Tried to make 1/8npt threads into compressor house of the turbo for my EBC. Threads got fu#ked and ended up with and elongated hole, so I do have good amount and nice threads 90% of the hole but 10% I only had 1-2threads there and rest of it is flush on that side of the hole.. So my idea is to do M12 x 1.25 to AN4 with braided lines instead of 1/8npt to 4mm vacuum silicone hose.  and hopefully get a better thread. M12 is quite big and AN4 is a little bit bigger than 4mm (4.9mm inner diameter braided PTFE hose). but this should work. Thoughts? Otherwise I will weld and adapter onto the turbo.
