You need a S2 bonnet and grille, the guards are the same. Do a search.

But why bother, you can fix up the head lights (search for this too) and you have a S1, I dont understand why you'd want to turn it into something it isnt. Also the S2 headlights do the same after time anyway.

I wouldn't say they're better in any way. They look better with the S2 front bar as they're a bit newer, however the GTR kept the same shape through the entire GTR series, the only update they had was the xenon low beam.

If your going to spend several thousand in converting to S2 headlights, front bar and bonnet, why not buy some S3 GTR xenons.

Yeah but there is a bit of a price difference between GTST gear and GTR gear. Have you seen how much the series 3 xenon lights go for?? I think there like 2 or 3 grand new from nissan and around 1500 2nd hand.

Series 2 GTST lights wouldnt even be worth half that.

its still a waste of money doing a conversion imo

especially since the only reason for the conversion mentioned, is to get rid of that yellowy color which can be gotten rid of with a quick buff job.

i'll take before and after shots if i can find a before shot and show you the difference.

Agreed.

For the amount of effort and stuffing around plus the cost (say $2,000 to do it all) you could definately spend your money better in other ways. If you're not confident about buffing them yourself pay a detailer. The same thing happens to EF,EL falcon headlights so most places will know what they're doing and would cost $100 max.

Fixing your current headlights is easy, i had the same yellow tint happen to my S1.

Just buy some wax/polish, clean the headlights with water, dry it, then throw some polish over them. let it sit for a bit then wipe it off. Mine came out sparkling like new.

It's not just the yellow colour.

sII headlights have a clear lens with nothing behind it.

sI headlights have that outer lens, which has all gay patterns on it. Then it still has an inner lens. it looks pretty ugly.

The sII light looks all sparkly and nice.

    • There are certain tasks, like replacing head gaskets, where it is very much best to already know what you are doing, and if you are not already an expert, then the next best thing is to have an expert around to help it get done. Little annoying checks and steps that are easy to forget or not interpret the results of properly, etc etc. It is hard to convey that to someone as a lesson prior to taking on a job, because there can be a whole list of "if you see this then it means that", or "if this is what you find then you will need to do these other 4 steps first". All the little bits of knowledge around sealant choice (ie, sealant at all? or no sealant? sealant only in certain parts of the gasket? sealant for this type of gasket but not that type of gasket? etc etc) cleanliness checks and methods, surface straightness and finish checks and methods, etc etc, all combine to mean that people who have done many of the same type of job will struggle less to get a good result than someone who hasn't done it before. I've been around this stuff since forever. But I will still consult with my expert(s) before taking on the big stuff with higher risk profile.
    • Well if I end up having to do the head gasket I will certainly find the necessary tools and instructions before beginning... Let's hope it won't come around.   Definitely. Depends on the job but I think "if you want it done right, do it yourself" applies almost every time
    • Can you at least move to a location without so many ladders, black cats and mirrors precariously propped up ready to be knocked down? Or buy yourself a 1 ton bulker bag of salt to drag around with you. Just, you know, sling it over your shoulder?
    • Meh, what's the worst that can happen? If is is supposed to have a washer, and: the spring retainer seals reasonably well on the surface, maybe just allowing a little bleed of oil out, and the spring does not coil bind when compressed that little extra bit, then the end result will be slightly higher relief pressure setpoint, and no other noticeable effects.
    • Weirdly I see a flat washer on aftermarket pumps but as you said it doesn't seem like new OEM pumps have it. EPC doesn't break out the regulator as a separate component either. I'm guessing if the pump came that way it's safe to use as-is.
