It works quite well apparently. Yet to try it on my R33 though, next on the list.. My lights aint heaps bad though just a about half the RHS light.

I found the best for my headlights has been to use one of these kits first off, and get the lights very clear. Then once every few months they will get a bit dull again, just go over them with some cut and polish and bam good as new.

Hey again, Over the past couple of weeks, while surfing the net, I’ve seen numerous amounts of people asking about yellow headlights and how to restore them to factory fresh. I’ve even seen as far as

I just applied some cut&polish to my very smokey yellow headlights yesterday. Made sure I rubbed it in nicely, then moved over to the other headlight, waited 5-10 minutes for it to dry up in the sun and removed it. Lights came out glimmering!

Will post pics!

I still stand by the PlasticX or whatever its called. Had another crack at mine on saturday, but did it with an electric buff instead. Saved me lots of time and energy and turned out pretty decent.

My lights arent in tip top shape, they have a bit of crazy cracking going on. hard to tell if its the inside or out. But once they have been polished up you dont notice it too much.

Hoping its obvious that the drivers side is done and not the passengers :P And try to ignore the passengers indicator. LOL. It fell out under brakes and i run the bugger over. Was all that was left of it! Dam LED Repco light replacement.

I use Brasso and a few rags and that seems to bring them up like new again. What i do is wash them and wait for them to dry then apply the Brasso and leave for a few minutes then with a clean rag give them a firm wipe off!

I use plastx myself and I think there are a number of solutions that will get rid of the yellow. However, I am more interested in a good sealant to make it last.

So far a coat of clear has yielded the best results and lasted a good few months - is there a longer term solution?

This.

The Turtle Wax Kit I used above, looked the goods for a while, but I'm back to yellow.

The UV sealant provided in the kit is obviously of teh gaids.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
