headlight restoration kit from autobarn for about 40 bucks. takes an easy hour. sands,polishes and covers with uv protectant. lasts for years and comes up like show room quality.

have used it on 2 R33s.

Used this stuff on my V35 headlights and they came up like brand new

I thought I had cloudiness on the inside too, but it was 90% on the outside.

Hmmmmmmmmm moisture?

Is there any yellowing on the outside or anything looks like it could be on the outside?

Or does it really just look like moisture on the inside?

If you got aftermarket headlights just get them calibrated to point properly and don't use hid that is too bright. id hope you'd be sweet with the cops. but im sure some dick would come along.

Yeh, im still on my Ps and driving a V so thats not a good starting point, i even went into the RTA and asked them if i could drive it on my Ps and they said yes its not ont he list of prohibited cars so i was like sweet, then a few months later i find its on the RTA site in small print but i think that was added after i bought the car cauz i checked the site also, and the updates to the site where done recently as per there last update at the bottom of the page. But anyways im off Ps on friday so nock on wood to not have any issues b4 then. But i really need a solution to the head lights soon as im about to have the ken style kit installd and its gona look hot but the lights will be a turn off for me in the present condition.

No yellowing at all, it just looks like it has clouds of moisture on the inside i mean the covers are weatherd but no distinct yellowing of them

I would love just to get the lights below and fit them with the xenon bulbs but i think i would need ballasts for that im not to sure as im not up to speed with the lights on the cars

to get rid of the yellowness, i just wet rubbed mine with 1000 then 2000 grit paper, then used plastic polish. about $7 total outlay, yellow is gone. now im just left the internal foggyness like youre talking about.... which shows up baaad with HID's. dont know how you will fix this, but i am building new custom headlights to kill 2 birds with one stone...

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
