bloody rip off ... you can buy a random orbiter and some heavy cut polish, wet sand the lenses a bit with a fine sandpaper (4000 grit or so) ... Same result in < 1 hour and you will have a RO to keep and some money left over as well. Maybe I'm just mad cause mine are f*ked from the inside :(

looks nice man, so that set u back 70 per light? they didnt do the inside? i only have 1 light with the yellow ting problem... hmmm considering these guys...

how long did it take em?

I wasn't at home at the time but I think about an hour or so

I did pretty much the same thing by hand with PlastX but it really doesn't last long (maybe I just have a weak arm :( . I thought my problem was coming from the inside too (because of the visable cracks) but after the outside was done properly it is safe to say the problem was from the outside.

It would be interesting if someone did have a ballpark figure for what it costs in getting thew inside done though!

Hey there,

Maybe pm Steve, as he ran a Group Buy for Headlight reconditioning a while back.

He might have some contact to get the headlights done inside and out.

Yeah i've read that thread previously, but at the end he says "Please dont PM me asking if this can still be done, if it could be the GB would still be open"

So i assumed that the business that was doing the work was no longer interested... :huh:

Plastifusion Aust Pty Ltd

Unit 2/170 Sunny hlt Rd , Blacktown

02 9831 8018

These guys quoted me something like $160 dollars each to pull appart the headlight and buff the inside and outside.

Wasnt realy an option for me as i like on the coast and getting there was a pain. But if someone wants to give them a go and let the rest of us know would be good

my r33 had the same problem,headlights were a very dull yellow colour, i used a glassylite kit on them and they now look great. Took me about an hour all up but it was worth it. After you have cleaned them up there is a coating that goes on over the top to keep them looking nice and clear for a longer period of time...hopefully i wont have to do it again for a while,also noticed a huge difference when driving at night. :P

you can get it from ebay turbo piston.

just put a cloth or masking tape over the frontbar below the headlight to protect it.

img onna have a crack at glasslyte. its only $30~ so see how that goes, plastiX didnt do that good of a job

i've also purchased a cutting & polishing mit for my orbital, just used normal car polish and plastiX but didnt do much, perhaps i need polish cut wax?

eug, is that $25 per light or for both?

is it guaranteed to last or will it yellow in few months time? (do you put some sort of protective layer on it).

im pretty sure mines on the inside but id like to be proven wrong and cant go wrong for $25

Just looked into it, I can get it from Amazon. Do you just need the one kit? Is it possible that it can damage your paint on the front bumper if you miss?

i got mine from ebay for a little over $30...i used masking tape around the light so i didnt scratch any paintwork

    • I was using the wiring diagram I have So 12.74V is coming into the rear Fuel Pump relay as I measured.  When I turn the key to ON im getting 0.6V to the Fuel Pump plug; which i assume is backfeed voltage and doesnt include the 12V from ignition power.  The rear relay is working and being triggered.  From the diagram I clearly see the rear relay 80 = Rear Relay going into the Body/H loom (R-27) 27 = Fuel Pump plug going into the Body/H loom (T-20) 40 = Short Connector (R-27) I'm reading 12.74V on the blue/black wire which is the power for the Fuel Pump   From this diagram I can see the Ignition relay goes into the front and up to the ignition  2 = Fuel Pump Relay <1M> (R-27) 37 = ING Relay <1M> I started from the pump using this reference Which the way I read it (referencing Nissan wiring color codes) is: Pin Wire Color Function 1 B/P (Black/Pink) Ground 2 L/W (Blue/White)        ECU Trigger 3 SB (Sky Blue) Fuel Pump 5 L/B (Blue/Black) 12V Constant Tested SB to SB on Fuel Pump for continuity - confirmed Tested negative on Fuel Pump to 12V battery and L/B - confirmed 12V Pulled the relay putting 12V between Pin 1 & 2 and testing continuity on Pin 3 & 4 - confirmed relay   So that has me looking at this part of the circuit to understand whats happening here...and im still confused. From best I can tell; the disconnect is back to my previous diagram; between Ignition Relay and Fuel Pump Relay...which yet again; afaik is where the immobiliser should.    Thats what I was trying to explain to GTSboy; im not trying to fix it myself; yet I seem to have to get a Masters in Electrical Engineering (while im busy doing my actual job of DevOps & Cloud Engineering) somehow.  I just wanted more expert opinions; or more so that what I tested is correct and proves it to something around that area; to go back to the alarm tech (for a 3rd time) that he needs to fix it. He keeps telling me its not the alarm. He lives on the complete other side of the city so i understand not wanting to make a trip but as I said before if its the alarm it should be up to him to fix it. But he's adament its not; even though I pointed out the FP was immobilised through the original alarm. To my mind; it seems that the ECU is sending the signal; but the ignition is not getting 12V down the line.       
    • Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.
    • I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?
    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'
