Hint hint nudge nudge. Don't be a sheep.

OK, after doing a shitload of research it turns out there are 2 different types of "Square" headlights. As funkymonkey mentioned... one which has the larger square going behind the smaller square and one which clearly doesn't.

Now, the thing is, the one which Shan thought was the N1 is not the N1, actually it's found on the GTS-S! There are plenty of the both up on Yahoo Auctions right now. Some are calling N1, some aren't. And so, it brings us all the way round to square 1 again.

It's looking a lot like this:

THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE!!!

Just the clips above which allows you to bolt up GTS square non projector lights to a GT-R and keep your grill.

Sorry to bring up an old tread, but I forgot what the nissan part number is for the R32 headlight brackets to fit the GTR grill, I bought some ages ago but can't remember them and the picture that showed the part number before has been removed.

Hope someone can rememeber.

cheers

Try asking in the "VINs you want FASTed" thread, use a random R32 GTR VIN like "BNR32 003945" and get em to look up the part number for the headlight bracket. I'd look it up for you, but I just reinstalled XP on my machine and have to install FAST again.

Does anyone know where to get a set of DOT approved headlights? Or a set that say DOT on them?

Skylines never came with DOT approved headlights. If you want to be cheeky, try getting a DOT approval etched on your headlight (illegal, but meh) back in the day in Australia before the compliance laws got relaxed, the rear quarter windows on some R32's weren't ADR (our version of DOT) approved, so some compliance workshops used to get a fake approval etched onto it, and then put it thru the system just fine.

You'll still get caught out on the road because your headlight will glare into oncoming traffic, but at least your inspection will be OK.

Failing that I've seen people use S14 and Accord headlights on their R32's in Canada hehehe... looks like arse, but if you want one badly and want to stay legal, thems the breaks. Or be a pioneer and put a 240SX front (pop up, not the JDM tyte silvia one) on your skyline :)

These would look a little less then arse on a black car with dark tint.

But it sucks you need to replace the stock headlights because they look so damn good. The only good thing with all our stupid rules is that everyones car will look different and your hard pressed to find a skyline here thats legal but doesn't look tacky (looks like they shopped for their side markers at a trailer store).

As for the 240 front end, i'd rather have the front of my car moulded to a tree then have that.

what about european delivered R33 headlights? they're DOT approved. go on, do an R33 frontend swap on an R32. Then R33 owners AND R32 owners will hate on you :nyaanyaa:

So can anyone tell me what is so special about the n1 headlight? And why it costs a bomb when it looks like a gts-t headlight?

Especially considering the standard gtr headlights are projector?

I've got the supposedly n1 headlights on my car and ive always wondered whats so special about it :thumbsup:

Also, any confirmation on whether the full backing square headlight is the n1 or the square that half-fills the headlight is the n1?

here's how I see it... N1's are a myth. Every single real N1 chassis I ahve seen features poverty pack headlights or projector headlights.

The reason for this? GTR's came with projector headlights. non GTR's came with non projector headlights and projectors as an option. An N1 GTR is a stripped down race version of the GTR (ie "race spec" brakes, tranny etc, but no creature comforts like stereo)... part of this de-optioning was putting non projector headlights on them. Now in order to fit a GTR grille, you needed a bracket that clipped onto the headlight.

So basically you get a bunch of guys who put brackets on poverty pack headlights, and run around saying they've got N1 headlights. When in fact they have the cheap headlights with a $30 bracket.

start lining up to spend $1000 on $200 of equipment. But get a cheap car from Japan add that to yuor costs and have a car that'll got hrough with no bull shit. I think i just need lighting because i looked at all the lines in my car and their all DOT allong with all the glass i soppose the last owner had to pass slacker laws because thatd be allot of bullshit to do everythign at once. I might as well order me a Caterham and a gt35R if i wanted to build an entire car from the ground up.

we don't need to meet DOT requirements in australia (partially cos we're not attached by the umbilical cord to America's arcane laws) but mostly because we drive on the same side of the road as the Japs and Brits.

Are you serious? they're gonna charge you a grand for a pair of shitty ebay Accord headlights and mods that you can do with a bit of silicon remover, pliers, electrical tape and a saw?

The only people who are gonna pay $1000 are the people who souldn't touch a tool. I think the only good thing about the laws in place is that it forces everyone into modifying their cars in some way and it'll be neat in the next few years to see how people make these restrictions, well not the lazy way but the really good looking clean setups.

For N1 lights? The grill clips are

26025-05U15 Right H/S

26075-05U15 Left H/S

26042-05U15 is Bracket Assy (right)

26092-05U15 is Bracket Assy (left)

Get along to a dealer and have a look at the FAST exploded diagram to confirm its what your after.

I'll do that or if someone has a FAST pic of the parts that would be good too. Need these brackets to allow my pov spec non projector lights accept the gtr grill.

I take it the over part numbers you mentioned are for the clips themselves?

see if you can make it out from this pic in my build thread:

Ok these things are driving me up the wall, 4 mm wide screws dont fit, nissan doesn't stock the screws, and I don't really want to buy every single smaller type of screw to try and fit into these things, anyone else put these things in? And if so what screw sizes did you use?

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
