well once I've converted my set and done the second set, I'll probably do the conversion on a one by one trade in basis (if I have any spare time).

So... you give me your headlight, I give you my converted headlight, then I convert your headlights, and give it to the next person that comes along and so on... and gradually I make enough money to fund a trip to the bahamas and I run away with the last person's headlight and money. :confused: I think.

Oh yeah the infinity headlights aren't ADR approved either :P for numerous reasons (one of which is there's no parking lights).

yeah I gotta get off my arse n finish it... or write another from scratch.

r32skyline_89... eh? I'm polishing the insides of my headlights and paining the chrome shroud black... how's that f**kin the car?

well its not really series 1 and series 2... projector headlights and non projector ones were always available. In the series 1 the non projector headlights was the standard. In the series 2 the projector ones were standard, with the exception of the poverty models (GTE, GXE, GXi). There's a difference in lighting between the two. But by todays standards they're both pretty poor.

With R32s projectors and Xenon HIDs I read in jap mags that the xenon bulbs tend to form shadows in the beam that they project...

I think you need a set of these Shan :rant:

Mercedes E55 Bi-Xenon projectors. Will be trying to retrofit them into the GT-R light assemblies I bought through you ages ago. Should mean I don't have any nasty shadow issues...

Interested to see how this project ends up. BTW, anyone know where you can buy JB Weld (its an adhesive) in Australia?

LW.

    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version. 
    • Thanks mate, well done to you too! Yeah not looking forward to doing any major work to it!
