N1 headlights organised (Ouch! they are NOT cheap!) also organised new indicators for the front.

interested to see what N1 headlights really look like. A lot of people call the pov-pack gtst headlights (with no projectors) N1 headlights and sell for big money. Would love to see pictures once you get them.

panel is loose and ready to remove. used a air saw to trim it out panel off. started grinding spot welds down at that point and tidying the rusted area in the middle. removed section of panel.

even the GTT isnt far off. i have a pair here that are destined for my better halfs VW. have been thinking about bolting them into my 33 (34 seats are a tad bigger), but they do require a small amount

I used a N1 to get them. should be the pov spec lights with brackets though as there are only two types of lights I can actually see in FAST. . at $750 a pop they will have special nuts holding them on..

I thought (when i looked into it years ago) the housing that had the moulded bracket's (for the grill) were gtst and the house that doesnt, but you can get a metal holder that screws on, were the N1 ones? or was it the other way round *confused look on face*pinch.gif

Other than that they look identical.

projector had the mounts (GTST-GTR) - non projector (GTS/N1 ) did not have them. been looking at both types and the GTS lights grew on me so I bought a new set. I have a set of projectors as well that someone can keep :)

And this is were it gets confusing.

My first R32 gtst had the non-projectors in it and im sure they had the mounts! ill try and find a photo. i am doubting myself now and saying im wrong because you have looked at the part numbers and it only lists the 2 styles.:wacko:pinch.gif

N1 LIGHTS

Does that help. the projectors already have the mounts in place. the non projectors do not.

I will probably use that car to pull a few other bits as well. things like air guides, oil coolers and the side skirts.

$515

PN# 91295-01U14

suits R32 ,S15 panels. (this one is a S15 piece.)

mildly off topic...

thanks for the subs and amp, got one of them and the amp setup in the boot now. its good to have some bass!

no probs. started researching the audio for mine. going for period audio (so 90s stuff) and I have started the search for a Orion 225HCCA.

given the age of it finding a 'new' one is going to be fun.

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
