wow my headlights...

[Guest Boxhead]

yes, thats it!!! thankyou ryan

[whodaman]

i always thought that the squarish lights came out on all models up to 1990? (mine's an 89) then 1990+ the bug eyed lights came out on all models... then the r33s came.

i never thought of the middle driving lights as round though.

on my one:

left-->right

indicator, [parklight/lowbeam/highbeam], fog?lights

and, i think the amber indicators only came out on the gtr or gts4 models.

[funkymonkey]

i've got amber indicators and the gtr style lights on mine... I've been told that the previous owner did a few mods to the car looks wise... like the light up skyline in the back

[inark]

yeah i have the GTR ones too... with that nice clear bulb that give off heaps of nice white light with a blue tinge

[Bozz]

My 1989 GTS-4 RB20DET had the GT-R headlights

I think the style of the headlight has more to do with year model etc than model of car.

GTR headlights have tabs on th inside for mounting ther GTR grill.

GTS-T no grill means no tabs.

[funkymonkey]

its not year... i thought that too, but then I was disproven by the guys at J-Spec... its not model specific, you get that light arrangement in GTS/t and GTR housings, and in cars that were manufactured from as way back as 1990 till late 1993. I dunno what it is... its either random, or its a very popular aftermarket change that ppl in japan do (same with the indicators, clear, semi clear or fully yellow)... Mine could have been, coz my previous owner did a few visual mods.

[funkymonkey]

bozz how come your GTS4 (with a turbo) has a 4 nut pattern on the wheel, I thought all turbo's had 5??

[Bozz]

Dude, it is a 5 bolt pattern, the fifth bolt is hidden by the angle of the camera

4 spot calipers up front too...

ROY.

I have the Tabs on the inside of the headlights but i havn't got GTR head lights.

I'm pretty sure they all have Tabs on the inside.

[Just Jap Racing]

Mines got GTR lights too. (apparently due to this thread)

[Guest darkness]

My gts-4 has the gtr(projector) ones as well. They are nicknamed bug-eyes because of the globe shape.

Not all turbo skylines have them. I've seen numerous gts-t R32's with the older reflector style on them. It seems to be an option when originally buying the car. But from what I can tell there isn't really a difference between the globe ones on a turbo skyline and the GTR ones. Inner is always high-beams then the globes in the middle and the parking lights on the outer.

The amber or clear indicators designates wether it's a facelift or not. They had clear up until 92(except the GTR which I think always had orange) when the facelift came out then they changed to orange. Mine should have orange as it's a facelift but it has been changed for clear.

[funkymonkey]

I saw a guy selling the convex lens on the projector light of the GTR style lights as a magnifying glass... sometimes you come across wierd shite in yahoo auctions.

[Cubes]

I have never seen a non-bug eye GTS-T.

And when i went looking for GTS-T's I looked at heaps.

Over a 6mth period.

on the R33 is there a difference between the GT-R and GTS-25t headlights?

i want to know if i got GT-R lights or just normal ones?

In Series 1 R33's there are no differences in the headlights, in Series 2 R33's the GT-R still had the series 1 R33 headlights whilst the other models gained the slightly different ones. There was a Series 3 GT-R which had different headlights, they are shaped like the series 1 R33 headlights however have xenon lights rather than the usual ones. There's like a squareish light in the inside of the headlight, and a round xenon projector on the outer bit of the headlight. If you don't know what i'm talking about by now i can post pics to explain it better

[T0nyGTSt]

How much would the Series 3 GT-R Xenon lights cost?

They would look mad on my GTS...
