I would have done a straight swap...considering you'd have to pay $$$ to get your HID converted to halogen anyway.....if you end up being stuck just PM me, I'm in Brisbane too.

I don't have to pay $$$ to get my HID converted. I have to pay $$$ for a pair of halogen headlights. I can either pay $$$ for the halogens and sell the Xenons for $$$x2 or do a swap with someone plus a cash adjustment of only $$ and not $$$.

Who in their right mind would do a straight swap!? Try getting a pair of Xenons from a wrecker and see how much they cost :)

Fair's fair.

I'd be interested in buying them as I'm contemplating doing an R34 headlight conversion on my R33 Gts-t.

What price would you sell them for straight up?

I think I still have some metal inserts that will allow you to use H1 halogen globes in your xenon housings.

PM me if you're interested and I'll dig around.

Thanks man, but I need the full halogen headlight assy for compliancing. They won't accept a Xenon headlight with a halogen bulb.

U guys realise that a xenon headlight assembly cost 2600 each from Nissan. I know cause i just bought one 2 weeks ago for 1400 at a wrecker. Thats 1400 each, second hand. Hey Rigo if u cant sell it here call some of the Sydney wreckers. I bet u could sell it easy for 1500 a pair. Try powerplay in Sydney they were selling them for 1500 each.

Hmm ... i wrote a reply but it didnt get posted. Just thought u guys should know that Xenons are 2600 each new, i just bought a front left side, second hand 1 for 1400. So Rigo if u dont have any success im sure the wreckers would buy your pair for 1500 quite easily. Last time i checked a stock complete headlight assembly from Nissan is 900 each.

Yeah, I'm gonna sell the lights separately now. I have already sent the car to Sydney for compliancing so won't be doing a swap. I will give a couple of wreckers a call.

Thanks...

      Original window sticker?

      By Celticsfan03 · Posted

      Hey everyone. Is there a way I can get the original window sticker (maroney label) for my 1995 R33 GTST? I doubt I’ll be able to ever get it but it’s worth a shot to ask

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
