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...

      Drove to Cape Schanck to try to get a nice clear southern view over the ocean to see the lights a couple of days ago... instead got crappy cloud cover. Photo of a diorama of Hong Kong street scene. Taken on an iPhone 13 Pro Max.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      Stock RB fuel pressure is near enough 43.5 psi, so the latency in that table at 31.6 will be close. You can see that 7 or 8 psi equates to about 0.4µs extra latency. So if you wanted to interpolate between the 31.6 and 39.9 psi values you could say you're going up about 2 psi out of those 8, so add about 0.1µs, which is barely worth talking about and is quite possibly wrong because ideally you would fix the latency while running at the appropriate conditions on the dyno, with a wideband sniffing its butt.

      The pressure, is what you set the fuel pressure to. If you have the factory fuel reg, you'll need to find the factory spec. I don't know it off the top of my head, but someone else might.

      Belt flex under throttle

      By MBS206 · Posted

      For others, what GTSBoy states here should be paid attention. Why? Well lots of people play with different engines, and they LOVE to change things like remove AC, or steering pumps etc, and it lends to them needing to move the tensioner too. You want your tensioner, particularly those that are sprung or hydraulically tensioned, to be the first thing after the harmonic balancer, or technically the "last" pulley in the chain. By saying last pulley, I mean look at the direction the crank spins when the engine is running, follow the belt from where the crank is pulling the belt FROM, and keep following that until you're between the last pulley/accessory on the belt and about to reach the crank again, this is the spot where you put the tensioner. This is the area that will always end up with slack. This is worked out exactly the same way for chains too, as the physics is the same for them. The crank pulley is where all the force to drag the belt around comes from. You will never ever get rid of the slack that appears, especially under load. The tensioners job is to keep the belt loose enough when stationary that there shouldn't be out of sync movement in slow movement, and then be tight enough when running, that the belt can't jump off any gear and get damaged. Too tight, bad things happen, too loose, bad things happen. Have a tensioner (mainly sprung/hydraulic one) in the wrong spot, it can't actually do anything about keeping the tension.
