Im looking to buy some projector headlights for my R33.Ive found a site that sells them but its a bit pricey.Any idea where i might be able to find some at a cheaper price.

I think Nismo made some for the R33 too.

best bet would be a retrofit. If you notice, the GTR SIII headlights are a very simple shape. It is as if nissan got the sI housing, ripped all the crap out, put in sII shaped reflector for highbeam, put a projector in the low beam and put a bezel around it.

I was gonna make a couple sets for giggles and bragging rights last holidays, but I was busy with other commitments. Maybe this christmas if I can find some cheap headlights again (there were so many last christmas).

I have pulled an S1 headlight apart and tried to put a projector out of a broken HR31 headlight into it, but the projector assembly is too long! The housing isn't deep enough and the mounting points to adjust it were too difficult to line up. Then you would have to fabricate a housing to surround the glass. I want the projectors as i have HID's and they're a bit glarey for oncoming traffic.

If anyone wishes to make a set i would be interested!!!!

oh and can anyone confirm that the only outer difference in the S1 and S2 headlight is just the clear plastic lense and not the backing?

i have also researched into this mod, theres info here and there, but i dont even know what projector bulb to start with. maybe later down the track ill see if i can get a pro to do it for me. i cant really justify the cost of s3 lights, guards bonnet, grill and whatever else needs to be changed.

      Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i.

      Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.

      Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.

      Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.

      It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
