Hey guys, I have recently used a turtle wax polish to clean my headlights, which worked great. The probelm is that there is some condensation and yellowing on the inside.

I have heard a few stories on how to fix this, including heating the headlight cover off with a hairdryer to get inside.

Has anyone got any ideas how to fix this without too much trouble? Bearing in mind i am 100% NOT mechanically minded?

if you are not mechanically minded , i would just grab some cutting compound and a few grades of cuts and polishes to get the max clarity . use 1500 - 2000 gritt wet and dry to remove major scratches . in saying that , if you were to attempt to try and remove your headlights to remove the lense , your in for a good few hours work . from memory headlights are also bolted underneath aswell as on top , so you would have to remove the front bar , and spend heaps of time trying to remove the lense with heating in the oven , a hair dryer is a joke and takes way to long unless you have a heat gun .

all in all all it could be purely exterior stain which you havent gotten out properly . i did my headlights properly from 1500 , and now they are clear as glass and i always get comments from people asking if they are brand new from japan , if your up for the good days work i would give it a shot , look for a few diy on removing bumper etc

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
