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.

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
