would be interested.

i used glassylite about 1 week ago, can post up pics here when im home tonight if anyone wants them. will report back in a few months to see what the progress is.

Got pics? im about to do mine with glassylite will post before and after if i remember.

*Is it worth wet sanding first before glassylite?

sorry forgot, and at work now so no pics but i can tell you that you should follow their instructions properly + probably sand longer than they recommend. cos mine were quite yellow, now they're just a little hazy but white. and i think that's cos i didn't sand them long enough, my arms got really tired and i thought i'd done enough ahahha. so one headlight is better than the other (learning from experience) - BUT neither are crystal clear, so maybe it's my fault...or glassylite doesn't work that well not sure!

Just did mine, they wern't looking so bad i gave them a wax last time i did the car which helped out a bit, should definitely sand for a lot longer than they recommended i probably went 15 minutes per side. Couldn't get my phone to work in the comp but they came up pretty nice.

yeap looks about right, mine is prob midway between your before/after cos I only sanded for ~5mins MAX haha, I reckon 15-20min solid sanding would be good. having said that, even yours doesn't look crystal clear - is this too much to expect of old faded lenses? or is it that this product isn't as good as we thought. opinions?

Compared to what mine looked like 3 weeks ago they look magnificent. I think the fact the plastic is 20 years old and has some wear and tear will stop them looking brand new but i think glassylite worked fine. Maybe an extra 10 mins sanding per side or as the op suggested using 4 grades of sandpaper would probably help that extra bit. If you have any sealant left over maybe give it another crack with the sanding.

yeah will defintely be giving it a second go, but every weekend i've got other things to do like remove acid rain stains from the glass by hand etc....so buggered by the end ahha it has to wait for the next week. But having said that glassylite DOES work just the degree of result is up for debate!

Guys I need to do this to the Honda Euro we have, and was thinking of putting the 3M paint protector clear vinyl stuff over the headlight once cleaned.

I reckon this should work quite well as the 3M stuff is UV protected and virtually invisible.

thoughts?

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
