are the grill mounts detachable for the n1 headlamps? or are they moulded to the housing? iv seen some n1 types that have the mounts and some doesnt have it..attachicon.gifimages.jpgattachicon.gifpicture008g.jpg

With mounts = R32 GTR N1 headlights, to secure front grill.

Without mounts = R32 GTS-T headlights.

This is not entirely correct.

No the standard GTS-t's did not have the clips for the grill, although they did have screw holes for an option to fit the brackets (which were metal) for a GTR style grill. You can get these through NISSAN. So any reflector style (N1 style) headlights that have the brackets which are held on by screws and are removable, are NOT genuine N1s.

The genuine N1s have the brackets which are plastic and are molded into the body of the headlight itself. These are NOT removable.

Sorry Damien but that is not accurate.

(OO)SKYLINE(OO) is right.

Genuine N1's do not come with plastic brackets molded into the headlight. Standard R32 projector type headlights do.

If you were to source N1 (Zenki) Headlights from Nissan they come with metal brackets that are bolted each N1 headlight.

GTS'ts have N1 type headlights without brackets and can sometimes fool people that they are genuine N1 headlights.

I have both sets (with N1 recently purchased) be more than happy to post up pics for comparison.

Hey Ant,

I spoke to Kudos (SAU trader) about 6 months ago about this same thing as i was after genuine Zenki N1s, and he supplies them direct from NISSAN Japan, and he assured me the brackets were molded plastic (like the GTR projectors) and are part of the body and not removable. This is what distinguishes the difference between the N1 and the GTS items.

I did a fair bit of research into this as i was searching for a set myself, and i found a lot of conflicting information and could not get a straight answer, so i spoke to a specialist who deals in new original Nissan parts.

Ill ask someone on here who i know purchased a set through them so i can get a straight answer and ill let you guys know.

i prefer my projectors ;)

i wonder why they never moulded the braket on?

Well I have both. So change it when I want :yes:

No idea why N1's were not molded on - maybe it was in case they got damaged in racing it was easier to fix up :closedeyes:

hmmmm, bolts=metal, they should be moulded for light weight :D

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
