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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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 :D

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
