Hi all,

I am planning to buy a pair of worn headlights and remove the lenses, to try to see how it looks on my GTR.

As I understand it the S1 headlights have sealed beams and the S2 don't (mine is a S1)

So it is possible....pls confirm or laugh

I also think the GTR headlight is different to the GTST.

Can someone please confirm this as I'm now shopping for a set and need to know if I'm restricted to looking at GTR one's.

Also how do you think it will look???

I'm mid way through a project of this nature now. I have gotten a set of GTS-T S1 lights to go on my S1 GTR. As I understand, I think it will just need some spacers - e.g. GTS-T lights can go on GTR but not vice versa. Hopefully someone can confirm.

The lights I pulled apart are not sealed at all. The glass lenses just clip onto the plastic without any o-rings or rubber grommets. I'm still contemplating how I will seal up the high beam cause I'm retro fitting a projector in the low beam side.

Yes for 1 (firmly hold them in place) but I doubt #2 - there is still a small gap that isn't sealed so water/moisture could get in.

Also, one lens is on the inner shroud and the other is on the light itself. So very different set-up on the two lights.

s1 headlight covers are usually sealed with black sikaflex...anyway lenseless headlights are horrible...so im just gunna laugh :laugh:

Yeah maybe horrible

That's why I'm thinking of buying a cheap pair so I can put my good one's back if it is.

But just thinking of ways to break up/change/enhance the front end of my white GTR

It's just me getting bored.

The surrounds do look nice and shiny black underneath that cover

you mean the outer lense or the inside lense? as far as I know gtr and s1 lights are identical...

oi got some s1 lights here in pieces if you want some pics of anything

I think mounting parts are the only difference between S1 GTST and GTR.

From limited research, not a hard changeover

Do you have 2 for sale cheap?

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
