well i guess if you really wanted to you could make a hole in the headlight to fit it. Usually when guys in japan do a GTR front end (bonnet, guards, bumper etc) conversion they change the headlights too so they can fit the splitter. So I'm guessing its easier to get a GTR headlight than to convert a GTS one.

Hey Funky, these LOOK like the N1 lights you pictured (see the inner lens looks larger than the GTS headlight and protrudes slightly into the main lamp, know what I mean?) but do not have the GTR grille clips...

So are then N1 or are they hust GTS ones and I can't tell the difference?

lol i think I got the pic wrong in my original post. I gotta dig up my old photos and see which one's what.

haha you could be right though - I would have thought the clips could be attached to the headlights where I have put the arrows... maybe? Can you check if you have a set lying around?

My car has those lights, how do you tell if they'r real N1 lightes?

dunno... funky want to share?

sav man - can you do me a favour and take a pic of how the grille attaches to the headlights - ie. if the grill clips into the headlight itself (moulded tabs in headlight) or there is a bracket that bolts onto the headlight and the grille clips onto that... hope that was clear :confused:

Sorry just read through the thread but I still don't know the difference between GTS headlights and N1.

I've got a 89 GTR with the projector headlight (circle in the middle) and bought a set of GTS headlights (the sqaure and retangle) ones from just jap for $300 last week. So will I have any problems putting them on(other than the clips)? I haven't had a chance to try yet.

Also has anyone replaced their GTR side indicators (all orange) with the GTS ones (Clear with just a small orange indicator) before? The guy at just jap said they won't fit because of the guard. anyone tried?

Thanks

attached are pics of a genine N1 GTR with said headlights.. They look real similar to the povo pack lights (like what i have) and are quite hard to tell the difference but like funkymonkey says, the rear part of the light goes further accross the back of the light.

    • The 32 still sits untouched with the broken gearbox. So a little off topic but not worth having a whole new thread. The daily starlet has gotten back on the road after 9 months. Suspected blown HeadGasket at a track day resulted in a bit of scope creep rebuild. The motor got a full tear down, pressure testing, machined for MLS HG, ARP head bolts, new bearings, all new seals etc also noticed some fatigue on the stock exhaust manifold so obviously the answer was a steam pipe manifold and highflow turbo. The exhaust was also looking tired with some rust holes. So I got a slightly over kill system made up consisting of Vibrant resonator and muffler with a highflow cat. The new highflow turbo had a larger inlet so instead of adapting the old intake got a case of the might as wells and had a nicer alloy intake made After the run in was finished i bought a (probably considered retro/vintage) EBC becasue "might as well"
    • Pretty stout result. How much boost? Anything left in it?
    • Just dropped the car off at MX5 Mania to install the intake plenum and give it a little retune  My impatience hates the waiting game 
    • SAMSONAS      Just saying      U know and we know U wanna     Just a matter of time....
    • This is kind of what I expected given the use case. I took my liners out for track days too.... It makes me consider just getting a diffuser and not bothering with the arch liners themselves. For the most part I would like to avoid water/mud/jank splashing up from under the car onto the bottom of the engine, lines, wiring, etc etc. (but brake ducts are cool too). Especially given this post on SAU here: Where it's implied you have to cut them because the actual tub is different? Which is pretty damn worrying because that is where the liners rub in a GTR with wider wheels... I definitely won't want to pay $2000 for plastic then cut them up. It also means said wider wheels rub on the tub in a GTT? FML. That said, I have found some evidence someone ran a 295/30/18 without scrubbing these liners. (and by extension.. the tub).
