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?

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.

      @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.

      One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
