no-one really answered this but you can get oem zenon headlight for r33 series 2's. they were only avaliable in the late series 2 models, i had some on the shell i just bought but they were f*ked so i cant use them, got a quote on brand new ones and they are $1300ish each light, and good luck finiding them second hand probably anyone whos got em dun know, and if they doo i wouldnt ever be selling them

Hey man, yeah, those were teh very last of the series 2, i think some people even refer to them as series 3

really hard to find the lights though, I found some but they wanted $1800USD for them :S so screw that, I'd rather spend them on a new car

Also the bonnet is a different shape for the xenon ones, they do look mint though, they are found on most of the later model R33 GTRs but only a few of the GTS25ts :S

damn i didnt realise the bonnet was a different shape, mines a gtst but the bonnet is rooted, but so are the headlights so i guess when i put it all back together its going to be standard. i've heard of them called series 3 gtr headlights but i didnt realise these were the same as the gtst ones. you can get them brand new but who wants to pay 2600 for a pair of headlight, i can think of better things to spend my money on

Yeah man 2600 is way way way too much :nyaanyaa:

I reckon get a set of Series 2 headlights if your current ones are smashed

get one or two sets of Bixenon BMW headlights :thumbsup:

retrofit them, then get the pits sanded out of the headlight plastic and you'll be set :rofl:

head over to HIDplanet.com

or GTR.co.uk and find the guy from Abbey Motorsport who did dual xenon conversion on his 33, it looks absolutely mint

Two lights on at normal beam and at high, the shrouds move to the rear of the lense and open up to full beam :)

MANWHORE, the camera probably doesnt do the lights justice as the light is effected by the flash and lens of the camera which adds to the "halo" effect. so they probably arent that bad! plus if they were that bad people wouldnt be able to buy them off the self and install them!

anyway i think they look good!

:whistling:

Just don't crash :)

they are illegal and if you are found with them in your car when you have an accident, the insurance company won't insure you, they'll try blame the crash on the fact that your lights "dazzled" the other driver

    • Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.
    • From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)
    • In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird
    • Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller
    • So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
