Just had my headlights polished today, because they were going milky and I thought I would post some pics of them.

The place I used was called GT Glass Technology and he comes out to you, I just had the plastic cut back and polished and they resealed

so they wont fade for a couple of years. Here is his number if you want to ring him 0412 844 697. Price will vary it depends on how bad you plastic is.

i think you can buy a tube of that polishing stuff, just rub it on and it comes up the same as that we did it too my car once it was similar to your r34. id imagine it would be cheaper by doing it ya self. cant remember what its called but id presume theyd sell it at autobarn n such places. its amazing how good it comes up and how different it looks

I had it done in Warradale He was from Chrisities Beach but im not sure how far he goes just give him a call.

pretty sure he is from lonsdale off o'sulluvans beach rd. , spoke to him a while back about polishing my scratched back window. from all reports he is the only person with the stuff to do it right in town ????

FYI, you can polish your own headlights for cheap as hell. using 2000grit wet sandpaper, polishing compound or aviation window polish.. and some masking tape to protect the rest of the car. a small buffer speeds the process but can be done by hand.

the auto stores plastic polish crap wont cut it , unless its not bad off. and dont forget some polish can stuff up some types of plastic

its not regular plastic its lexan , much stronger

The stuff that most people use including myself is meguiars PlastX.

just to save some money, it doesnt work if your lights are yellowing , it is a very mild abrasive .....most lights need more help then that provides.

you can use Megulars M105 it works a treat on lights

What was the price for getting yours rubbed back? I've been considering getting complete new headlights due to a small crack and really bad fogging, but that has come up really well :)

I payed $132 for both lights, beats buying new ones . Mine has cracking around the edges of the light which dont come out because its all the way through. but he will tell you if it can be done or not.

      In B4 "Not a Skyline"...

      You're not the first person that's said that about this car lol. A Touring wagon GT in Spark yellow mica would be the dog's danglies 😆 I will keep an eye out for a future purchase for sure. The seats are almost like the OEM Recaros... electric adjustment for fore/aft and tilt movements except reclining.

      Yes!! I love these! It's a shame its not the wagon though!   Thank everything that's holy that it doesn't have the interior of the Aussie delivered ones. Those seats are so much nicer.

      In B4 "Not a Skyline"...

      By Rezz · Posted

      2001 BE5D Subaru Legacy B4 RSK (3rd gen) EJ208 (pink injector) Twin Turbo 280PS 5-speed manual Full time 4WD "RSK" grade which means all of the above LQC option which means stock rear spoiler  I got it primarily to export to someone outside Japan who was interested. These BE5 Legacy B4 RSKs are going through a bit of a resurgence right know in Japan as they are one of the few cars from the "turbo, manual, RWD/4WD, 280hp gentleman's agreement era" cars that don't require stupid money to purchase. Which for some people might be a good opportunity to get as a base for restoration. If I can't find anyone to purchase it I will certainly be doing that myself over the long term. Why? Because it's properly fast in stock form, handles well enough for a GT sedan, there's still enough aftermarket and (if you can wait a while) genuine part support to make it a restoration candidate (<-- that will only get worse over time so it's a case of do it now or choose get a BL5 4th Gen). Mechanically it's fine, has only 89,200kms on the odometer. The problem with this car is that the body and exterior trims are weathered from at least the last 10 years being parked outdoors. I'm the 3rd owner, the first owner was the one that had it for 14 years and barely drove it, had a low-speed front impact (which didn't damage anything behind the radiator support) and got it fixed and sold it. The 2nd owner put most of the kms on it and parked it outside for the last 10 years, hence the door rubbers have seen better days but if you overlook those cosmetic details, it presents pretty nicely. There is some minor rust on the LH rear wheel arch which I'll have looked at too at some stage.  Also as you'd expect from a car this age, the clear top coat is gone, leaving a satin finish on the roof.  Mechanically it's fine (as you would expect from a car with less than 100K kms) but the steering does feel slightly vague around the centre position at higher speeds. So first on the list is to get the steering rack bushes looked at. There's also the Lock button on the remote which doesn't work, but the Open button does.... it means that the anti-theft system thinks it's always open? It seems like if you open the car and don't start the engine within 3 mins or so the anti-theft kicks in again without any beeps or signals. So if you got to start it after that, it won't. You have to push the open button again. That's how I understand it anyway. Just a small irritation but not a big problem to sort out. There's only one mod, the Wangan SPL muffler. Just a tad louder than stock. It's a really good mod for those who don't want to wake the neighbours but still want to hear a more prominent unequal length header EJ20 sound. Anyway I hope to get all those things done eventually, that is unless someone wanted to import it to their country from Japan (where I live). I'm open for negotiations as I really would like a Skyline... but this will definitely suffice in the meantime 🙂 *Disclaimer: This is how I picked it up from the dealer, minus the stuff on the back seat. I haven't cleaned the engine bay or done a thorough exterior clean, aside from spray painting the wipers.
