Apparently not. You need to get the fitted properly, it aint a simple "remove and fit" job.

Also they cost 2K!

Firstly, sII is a very difficult fit. The bonnet/front bar is actually a different shape.

SI i beleive can be made to fit quite easily, because the headlights are the same shape. the brackets are slightly different, so will require slight mods. the grill probably won't bolt on, but that's fine, just get a gtr fibreglass grill for $100.

I've actually sourced a set of gtr xenons from japan and they're coming in. Don't hold your breath waiting for me though, i'm very busy with uni atm.

Thanks for your help guys,

also what difference is there with the S1 GTR and SII GTR headlights?

No difference at all, series III are a little different besides the fact that they are projector xenons.

Any R33 Gtr H/lights will fit series I ( only S I) but you have to modify them a little to fit .

You have to take off the rear spacers ( easy to do) and they dont have a bottom braket where they fit on the grill .

Yep, in all my searching I saw one complete set with ballasts and bulbs for about 800 delivered, the rest were exxy.

That would have to be around the 50,000 yen, I would say there was something wrong with them at that price ....

I agree with wrxhoon. I paid about 2k landed for mine. I looked ages for some, the cheap ones were usually damaged or didn't come with ballasts or were the series 1 with retrofitted HID bulbs (crap)....

If you can get them for under 2k landed you've got yourself a good deal.

When retrofitting the S3 lights to a S1 or 2 GTR, do they plug straight in, or is a rewire of the headlight loom needed aswell? Some where down the track i'd like to fit these to my GTR, standard headlights are terrible.

Nothing wrong with the standard S I+S II GTR h/lights mate . Make sure you get the full 13.8-14 volts on them and they light up very nice( they are never going to be like genuine xenons though). In my old 33 i wire them with a rely and made the lows stay on when the h/beams went on as well, excelent light .

They pretty much plug straight in. You will have to file/cut the plug very minor to get them to fit, the plug is the same shape, but has the 'guide' lines in different places... just cut/file them away and it fits perfect.

G`day mate

Can you please help. I`ve finally found genu. R33 GTR Xenons headlights for my baby, but they have no bulbs or ballasts. I cant find exact info. so i can purchase them. I`d like to go as similar (specs) to OEM as possible.

Any help much appreciated

Regards Martin

Agreed. A set went for 101,000 yen last night and that would've been a very good buy at that price. It was a bargain. that equals about $1200 - $1500 landed depending on your buyers arrangement.

Lol just read this threads from 2006... oh well.

Well you can buy Nissan ballasts and bulbs if you're keen. They might be expensive but it's worth a shot:

Ballasts (ACTUATOR ASSY-HEAD LAMP) 26055-98U00

Xenon Bulbs (BULB-XENON) 26297-89901

You will need a series III GTR VIN number in order to order parts for these. Here's one i picked out of the air that turned out to be valid: BCNR33-043434

No idea where you are but if you're in Sydney order Nissan parts from Crows Nest nissan parts counter or Hornsby nissan parts counter for best chance of success.

Good luck!

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
