i have a 95 R33 and want to change my faded yuk plastic headlights to some nice clear glass ones, where can i get such items?

is it worthwhile/easy enough to switch to series II lights? i imagine i would need a new bonnet also if i did this?

in the meantime any good ways to clear up the plastic lights? they look all crap and yellow on a black skyline :D

thankyou :D

also feel free to point me to a related thread, i did search.

i just used a cutter on my headlights, it made them look brilliant and shiny, however u will need to do them every month or 2, but i just go over mine with meguires when i polish my R33 anyway and they come up great again.

have u heard of glass lights for sky's? i never even knew they were available from anywhere? is this just something u are interested in or have you actually seen/heard of them?

i thought the S2 and gtr's had glass headlights? no?

as long as they look shiny and clear i don't mind, would prefer glass tho.

They're all plastic, i don't thiknk anyone would make headlights out of glass since they are a first point of contact with any foreign object that gets throw off the road... sI have black plastic on the inside, sII use chrome plastic, so they look 'clear'... anyway...

so any guides for cleaning/removal?

a lot of places sell a plastic cleaner, with the logo "PLASTIC CLEANER" on the tubes for about $20

You rub it on, leave it on for about 2 - 5 minutes, then thoroughly wipe it off (you could use some form of buffing device if you wanted) and they come up VERY CLEAR.

I've done it on my S2 (which is definately plastic) and they look CRYSTAL clear (especially with the xenons I just put in them)

A mate of mine has a Series 1, and we used it on his headlights and they came out just as good.

yeah mate as in paint cutter, sorry i thought that was obvious but yeah i see how it could mean a few things. i just use meguires cutter and it works perfectly, they really look good when done, i thought my stains were on the inside also untill i cut the outside and they came up perfectly

or you could take your lights to

Melbourne Headlight Exchange,

Unit 2/ 130 Bridge Rd

Keysborough

VIC, 3173

Australia

they will pull them apart, clean them and seal them back up.

They will come back to you in brand new condition. you will be like wtf these arnt mine.

Any questains can be refered to danny (autotrust) as he was the one who refered me to these ppl.

To get 34 lights to fit, you would have to make a custom bonnet at least.

The 4 door headlights look a lot cleaner as they have a chrome backing, instead of black.

I put them in mine and they look heaps better.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
