R32 Headlight Questions

[Ronin 09]

Arrgh! still don't know.

I think a good way to tell would be to weigh them - N1s should be lighter - otherwise why change them??

Sprinta - can you grab a pic of your brackets to hold the grille on? Thanks

Thanks for that Sprinta, I still can't tell the difference, so if it's good enough to fool me, hopefully it's good enuogh to fool most people (I think they just look better anyway).

Did you have much problem putting the povo pack lights in?

actually thats quite contradicting..

look at my povo pack lights

btw i dont have the gtr grill backets on the lights either, has custom backet things made up so the grill fits

[Ronin 09]

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?

The GTS ones won't fit - GTR ones are wider to fit the guards

You drive an R32, right? It should be pretty obvious: the stockers are shockingly bad at like, you know, lighting the road IIRC the N1s have better illumination.

This is my head light, it's pretty good in high beam, and the "projector beams" make a huge dif when there turned on.

Ronin 09: here's my clips

[confuzion]

mine didnt have that bracket it had some little metal bits with the cutouts for a bolt to hold the grill on on each corner. I just changed to projector lights today. Looking at em now the standard type lights look better on gtr's in my opinion.. still looks ok but

[Ronin 09]

Thanks sav man / sprinta.

sav man - looks like you have a metal bracket that bolts to the headlight and then the grille is clipped in as I suspected - can you confirm?

[sav man]

Yes bracket then the grill clips in.

I got the clear indicators on my car and I was pretty sure they are the pov pack GTS4 ones.. but... they light the road up really well?

They are the standard "pov pack" indicators, and I would guess the standard GTS/4/t lights (bit hard to tell from that distance/angle).

Do you mean they light up the road well on high beam, or low beam?

[Ronin 09]

Yes bracket then the grill clips in.

Looks like my next question is then, who can get the part number for this brackety doodah

[Ronin 09]

this may help you guys, I have found the bracket for using non-GTR headlights for a GTR grille:

Clips part numbers as below

Ronin,

That's cool, I was going to put the Povo GTS-T lights on the weekend but ran out of time.

Did it take long to get the bracket from nissan? and how much did it cost?

thanks

I dont know if its been mentioned in the thread already (did'nt read it all) but i'd just like to say the standard headlights are 'Shite'..!

No way good enough for the cars performance.

[Mr R32 M-Spec]

since thread is entitled questions

thought I'd ask here

Can someone explain how to adjust the 32GTR headlights up! mine seem to aim low, and the bulbs are sitting ok in the sockets, someone said look for 2 screws in the back ot it. found them

but when I screwed them either way they didn't do jack

pics would be great

cheers

Hey michael, haven't actually got any from Nissan (found these pics on the yahoo japan auctions), but i would expect that if they are ex-japan, they'll take 2 weeks.

Does anyone know what globes each different type take. I have 2 of the projector lights (one of which has been replaced because the glass was cracking), and the low beams use different globes (1 is a H3 and the other is a H1). Which is a better globe? I'm going to guess that the H3's are better being that they are 25 bux each to replace with a run-of-the-mill globe :confused:

Thanks,

Michael

Gday mate,

You'll have to use the same ones as the assembly was designed for because the focus point on the globes has to line up.

If they don't you get a very very very dim projection from your headlight(s).

H1 and H3 are definately not interchangable (I've tried, even when you make em fit the focus point is out of whack).

Yeah, it wasn't until after i got the replacement that i realised that the new one was H3. I pulled apart some of the assembly in an effort to swap both of them to H1, (the broken one i had was H1), but they are very different.

Basically what i want to know is which type of headlights came out with which globes so i can find a suitable replacement and match them up

What type of globes does everyone have, and which style headlights have you got on your 32?

[Ronin 09]

I have a '91 (however is aus delivered, may be different) and pretty sure it has H1 globes for the projectors
