the one on the right is an early R32 type M light & the one on the left is a late R32 type M light. GTR's typically get around with the same lights as the type M's

the el cheapo lights look similar (but not identical) to the N1 GTR lights ie 2 squarish reflectors per side

my car has 1 early light (drivers side) & 1 late light (pass side) so if anyone has the same problem but sides reversed PM me to swap to we have to matching sets :P

I think its the dodgy repair job the crash repairs did to my car.

My ring projector headlights protrude past the bonnet. :P

Because the outside of the lights (next to the blinker) sits properly and flush with the bonnet yet the inside of the light protrudes past the bonnet, the round projector bit is made to look a little bung eyed as they have had to angle them in heaps to get the lights projecting in the right direction.

If you look at the pic you will know what i mean.

that's cos the bulbs are different wattages... see my R32 revision history in the DIY/FAQ section

however, the silver car has higher wattage bulbs, the one on the black one was like the replacement model for the pov pack lights of 1989. the ones on the silver car were what you got if you bought a Type J, Type M or Type S car.

I'm confused what is type M now. :D

To be honest I like the head lights that were origionally on the car. (same as the Silver pic).

Looking at the ones in it now I really don't like them, they stand out too much and for some reason or another remind me of silvia headlights. I really don't like the ol' silvia's. 180sx's are fine just not the s13 silvia. :)

So yer.. I'm after some of the same headlights as per the silver r32 pic

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
