Hi,

Tried this in the maintenance forum but got no responses, so here go. I have a few questions regarding headlights on the R32, specifically the GT-R:

* Are the headlights the same across the R32 range?

* I understand there are two different types of R32 headlights: one fitted to earlier cars, one to later cars. Is this correct?

* Does anyone have measurements for the lights?

* Can anyone provide close up pictures of the two types?

* Better yet, does anyone have pictures of the headlights with the glass front removed?

Thanks,

Lucien.

i think only the 89 model had different lights cos the front indicaters were clear not orange. so that is maybe why they changed the actually head light cos of the different design or something.. thats about all i got.

GTR headlights changed slightly in wattage in 1991, other than that it should be the same for the GTR. THe GTSt's changed all over the place, but not the GTR.

Wattage doesn't really bother me, I am more interested in changes to the reflectors, projectors, etc, etc (ie. the construction of the headlight) :D

you're thinking N1 headlights anfd GTR headlights... I guess they're both GTR's but N1 headlights are a lot more expensive and rarer. Two Square = N1, Square + Round = GTR.

There's a lot of Square + Rounded Square goin around which are 1989 pov pack headlights off Type G's. A lot of people think these are N1 but they're not.

the only difference between the GTR ones and the rest of em is the clip for the nosepiece that goes inbetween the bonnet and the bumper. So if you tried to fit GTS/t ones you could on a GTR (the brackets to mount it are all the same) but you won't be able to put your nose thingy on.

Not really 2 square ones, but it has a higher intensity inner bulb and was only available on race equipped GTR's (which had the N1 spec RB26DETT). Also back light takes up the entire headlight, and the inner light sits on top of it.

Very similar to the N1, cept that it used low power bulbs and the back light takes up half the headlight only.

And these are a set of aftermarket headlights that I'm getting :rofl:

god knows, they seem to pop up on a couple of drift spec r32's, still trying to find out who manufactures them... they're basically the same globes but mounted on the outside withouta glass cover... the one above the last one is the same headlight close up...

that explains why my headlights are slightly different... left has the ring & right is like the one with 208 next to it.

despite the slight differences in design they both have the same intesity & beam spread on my car.

the only difference between the GTR ones and the rest of em is the clip for the nosepiece that goes inbetween the bonnet and the bumper. So if you tried to fit GTS/t ones you could on a GTR (the brackets to mount it are all the same) but you won't be able to put your nose thingy on.

Do you have pictures of the clip in question... ?

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.
