Hi.

Just getting a R33 Series 3 GTR imported, it's going to compliance workshop soon.

They are going to have to remove the Series 3 factory Xenons to comply it, but I want to put them back myself later.

They don't give me much info on what they are actually going to modify on the wiring harness, see my goal is to keep the car as original as possible and reversible modifications. The first person I spoke to said way too much work and you cant convert back to Factory xenons once it's done without huge work.

Second guy who I'm dealing with did not say much, no idea what they will do to the car.

So I'm wondering for anybody that has done it, what is the easiest way to comply a R33 GTR from Xenons to lights that will pass Compliance, but to be easily reversible.

I was thinking it was as simple as buying a set of Series 1 or 2 Headlights bolting and plugging them in and that's it, but from what I understand or am being told there is big work to be done and not reversible unless ofcourse not True.

Would appreciate some info.

Cheers.

Everything is reversible. The supply to the xenons come from an igniter. All they are really doing is using the supply that turns the igniter on to supply the new globes. The plugs are different so they have to be cut and joined.

Easiest is just to swap the headlights over.

Recommend that when they cut the looms for you they rejoin it with a connector rather than soldering the wires so you can just change the lights back over, put a matching connector on the Xenons then all done.

MAKE SURE THEY GIVE YOU ALL THE PARTS BACK (including looms and plugs)!!! I'm sure they'd love to flog off the Xenons on you....

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
