Hello all. Just want to share my headlight retrofit service. I'm based in Melbourne but happy to do interstate jobs as long as you are willing to ship me your headlights. Let me know if you have any questions. Below are links to my website as well as Facebook page. I would prefer if you did it through the page so I can have a record of our convo. Otherwise you could use the email form on the website to contact me via email. Thanks!

Are you able to convert standard R33 GTR headlights into Xenon lights using a retrofit kit perhaps one from an audi or something? then replace the plastic lens with a glass lens?

Glass bit = not going to happen.

What you can do is try it yourself (grab a spare pair of headlights). It's not that hard, in fact it's much easier these days. You can clear up plastic cover/lenses, or even make your own clear ones!

Care to elaborate sir? Ever since I did the DIY clean on my headlights, they turn to shit pretty f**ken quick. I'm sick of it.

I've done everything the kit suggested. I then used a sealant in the kit to protect them from future wear. No luck. I've hit them again with the headlight polish from maguirs or what ever it is called and still no dice.

sand them with 2000 wet until they're clear, then use a polish on them.

Best kit is the glassy lite one because it has the best sealant.

Have to be careful with the sealant application - really need to give it its dry 24 hours to properly set. Once you've done that it will last at least a year depending on climates and how harsh the washes are that you use on your headlights.

You can also use toothpaste and a toothbrush or paper towel to do your headlights, then add a sealant on top of that.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
