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.

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
