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

      R32 Gtst - Track Car

      By bcozican · Posted

      Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !

      Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3

      It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.

      no one recommending speedtek gearsets?   i'm in the same boat as Cosline but rwd, I am holding boost back in third to 600nm at the hubs to save the gear as i make nearly 750nm at the hubs on a mainline
