This was my first GTR35 set which I completed for a local car. I ended up attempting the True Quad setup and I was pretty happy with the way they turned out. I learnt quite a lot from this first set. Ill know what to do and what not to do for future sets.

Enjoy the pix....

HL specs:

* JDM GTR35 headlights

* Quad Mini H1 5.0's

* White painted cutoff shields

* TRS side emitting LED strips for the new "Parker" setup

* Mini Gatling Gun shroud (Low beam housing) + regular Gatling Gun shroud (High beam housing)

* Full Satin Black finish using: VHT Prime coat SP305 "Satin Black"

CLear lense pulled off

OEM low beam projector vs Mini H1 5.0.

Both lense holders are lined up. Very similar sized projectors

2.5" Mini H1 lense vs Slightly smaller OEM lense (forgot to get a measurement)

Mini H1 fits like a glove in the OEM low beam reflector bowl

Even the OEM headlight bezel fits around the Mini H1 without any modification. Looks just like factory :) Happy days!!!

Anyone that wants to do a projector upgrade on a GTR35 HL will have the least hassle free experience with a Mini H1.

* minor dremelling of the housing underneath the projector

* JB Weld / Stik Mini H1 to the OEM reflector bowl

* Fit OEM bezel (without modifiaction)

Done deal!!

Bottom section of the OEM projector still needs dremelling

This is the dremelling I was talking about to fit the Mini H1. This helped with rotational alignment.

Both projectors fixed in place using JB Stik. You can see the M4 nuts & bolts thats helping to extend the Mini H1 in the High beam housing

Heres a mock up of how I want the Gatling Gun shrouds to look

image_zps7b1ea104.jpg

image_zps75199352.jpg

The first initial cut on the Mini GG. I was still afraid to hack into the OEM low beam bezel incase I couldnt pull off the look. Once you cut into it theres no turning back...

image_zps680d2ca8.jpg

Sliding the Mini GG inplace... Still requires a lot more cutting..

image_zps527bffc3.jpg

Finally bit the bullet!!! Had no choice as the Mini GG shroud was not going to "slip" in any further without cutting the OEM bezel

image_zps5824cf9b.jpg

image_zpse9fd7912.jpg

More cutting leading to a better fit

image_zps77751578.jpg

Getting closer and closer

image_zps36149037.jpg

The final look of the OEM low beam bezel. No more cutting

image_zpsa14707b6.jpg

Mini GG trimmed to a final depth of 45mm for the best fit

Test fit

The first initial cut of the OEM high beam bezel

Test fit of both Gatling Gun shrouds with electrical tape holding them in place

Gardening wire hold the Gatling Gun shroud to the OEM headlight bezel

image_zpsb4d351cc.jpg

JB Stik applied as the primary adhesion

image_zps73bc3850.jpg

JB Stik finally cured and hold the shrouds in place

Turn signal housing masked up before the Satin black finish

Assembly line

All that left to do is seal the HL up

Testing the LED strips

image_zps57faaa58.jpg

H1 bulb now protrudes from the back of the high beam housing. The dust cap no longer fits.

Giving my plastic welder the vital info he needs: ">PP

That looks amazing :woot: Seems like very fiddly work with a lot of thought put into what to cut/what not to, but in the end looks like a concept R35 headlight, just 100x tougher. Awesome!

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
