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

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      In the US almost everything is E10. It can't exceed 10% by much or fuel systems have trouble adapting. At the same time because MTBE, MMT, and TEL are all banned they need as much ethanol in it as possible to boost octane.

      I was mostly jesting. In my experience (and probably only my experience) the R34 GTT physical airbox space is actually too small to flow the amount of power it wanted. By sealing the box, I made it so it could only be fed by the ducts themselves. So you can seal it up and get nice cold air which IS good, but at a certain crossover point: More Hot Air > Less Cold Air I don't think you're at this point. In my case merely ducting the hot air intake with a very focused set of ducts counteracts the fact it's in a V8 engine bay. More cold air obviously best. The solution looks great.

      Nah, the OEM CAI pipe is still installed behind the bumper, it is about 5" x 3" oval at the engine side, tapering down to a 3" pipe behind the bumper where it gets all the ambient air it needs Engine side of radiator support OEM intake pipe "oval hole" that is right in front of the filter My OEM NC1 CAI pipe: From NC2 onwards, below pic, they come slightly smaller at 2.75" diameter with corrugations and a resonance chamber to reduce intake noise, lucky for me my NC1 has the bigger noisy one, LOL   Basically, the "sealed" airbox will just get ambient air from a 3" pre filter intake tube that is the same size, 3" as the rest of the intake pipe post filter, and if a 3" intake isn't big enough to flow enough air for 150 killerwasps then there are other issues The whole intake is basically the same length as OEM, but it is now about 30% bigger from the airbox back through to the new intake plenum than OEM, and the intake plenum is port matched to the head And the intake is now about 30% bigger than my 2.5" exhaust, so the suck, squeeze, bang and blow black magic should be fine, well, to my uneducated understanding of fluid dynamics anyway Talking the the guys at MX5 Mania, it may even make a few more killerwasps as the intake isn't sucking hot air, especially off idle or when in slow traffic when it would be sucking hot air  As for the difference in IAT, I haven't logged IAT yet, as I don't currently have a OBD2 reader, but I will have a play with my thermal lazer thingie next time I take the car out to sèe how hot stuff gets under the bonnet near the intake filter prior to installing the air box, my "assumption is it has to be much better after the air box is in and sealed up compared to what it is now The aftermarket "performance" CAI elephant in the room: Aftermarket CAI intakes typically have the air filter tucked up behind the bumper, with a 2.5" intake tube (the OEM intake pipe is actually about 30% bigger than the fancy pants "aftermarket" version.....WTF), and you need to remove the bumper to service the filter, which is a PITA Like dis:

      Nice one, I'd argue that the white S1 RS260 is certainly the best looking of the Stageas. And yes, fully agree on the forum situation. It's a bit of a shame, but at least SAU is a good place to be. I found the facebook groups to give me FOMO because people were trying to one-up each other and show off in some way. Feels much more natural here. There are people with seriously nice builds, but I can appreciate it rather than it making me question my life choices. Might be that people are more open with sharing how much work/money/suffering it takes to actually get there.

      Evening, wanted to pop in and finally register to say hi to everyone here on SAU!   It's been a while since I've been active on a forum, but back in the day I used to be relatively active on ClubLexus and other hobby-related forums. I'm glad to see SAU is still around, since with the advent of Facebook and Discord it seems forums aren't what they once were. As a recent new owner of an S1 260RS Stagea, I've found so many older guides and helpful tips from SAU that I figured I needed to join and say a grave thank you. My recent acquisition has only become legal in the US for the past year, and knowing that similar car enthusiasts from across the pond have already figured out the kinks and tricks to get these 25+ year old cars running well. I look forward to diving into more of the SAU forums as well as hopefully contribute some info myself for future posterity.   As a pic tax, here is one of the few good photos I have of my Stagea. I hope to get way more in the future!
