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.

    • Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?
    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
    • You have no idea how many goddamn boxes I received these past three months haha Most have been put to use by now though, luckily
    • Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
