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

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
