where did u get the clear lens?

they are 94-97 honda accord headlights.

they have 3 styles. stock chrome look, R33 style black housing, and these halo angel eye with projector style.

suites the r32 pretty well:)

i'm sorry... that looks ghetto. it doesn't even fill the hole properly. you should get an eyelid and cover that nasty gap... then it'll OK i guess. still doesn't curve the same as the indicator etc.

we don't have to worry bout DOT approvals on headlights here so we don't have to do ridiculous headlight swaps for compliance... thank god.

would be alright if you did a retrofit of the honda rear section and grafted into the front half of the standard r32 headlight.

well if it was a true projector setup, which i doubt at that year model - but it would fill that gap :(

Stole the words from out of my mouth!..

i dont like it when people dont pay attention to detail..

Just dosnt look right..

looks like when they put the Jap Spec lights on the civics and integras.. theres something just not right with it.. I cant put my finger on it

the problem that the R32 owners in canada face is that their headlights need to be DOT approved to register the car (sorta like our ADR's that our cars are complied to meet)... its an american standard, and as the R32 was never sold in the US it doesn't have that marking on the headlight.

Also the angle of the light is slanted so that it doesn't glare onto oncoming drivers on the right... but in canada the oncoming drivers are on the left... again... sucks to be attached to the US.

so unfortunately you HAVE to change your headlights to something DOT approved like ghey honda lights, or S14 240SX headlights or something like that if you wanna keep your car legal. There's a company now that makes Garage Infini style lights over there, which kinda solves the problem.

At least the R33's ahve plastic headlights, so changing em to comply with DOT regs will be easy as.

you be my guest and tell me which headlight to replace it with that was ment for North American Cars... tried and true this was the best fitting amongst GTRCANADA.COM and we should know what we are doing.. we need this to pass our inspection legally.

lol sorry martin, i didn't mean that to come across the way it did. I know you guys have little to no alternative, so I can empathise... but if you're gonna rock that on the street every day I'd get some eyelids made up to blend it better.

I'd say those ones that the company made up using a cover and two round lights to replace the headlight looks better.

I'm sure if you were given the option to run standard lights you wouldn't even think of using accodrd headlights.

    • Yes, but it's not as easy as pulling a fuse on anything other than an R32. There's a routine you have to do, involving disconnecting a loom plug and bleeding down the preload.
    • A question for tuning awd, is it possible to disable the AWD? The stagea is an EA/T AWD, Toshi had said on a GTR, he was able to disable it and make it 2wd. Just wanted to double check if this was possible
    • Whoa, that's a name I've not see for a long time! Sorry to hear about the engine / turbo damage.  Fwiw with any engine problems it often really a case of just seeing what happens when it's apart, ymmv - I wouldn't rule out the possibility that the damage isn't even from the turbo failure, or possibly from a combination.  The airflow between cylinders isn't dead even, injectors can go off over time as well, with the turbos overboosting if you didn't have upgraded fuel system there could have possibly been a bit of leaning out - stock triggering is often a bit unreliable by this age too.  Basically its an old engine and a few things could have been going on, and you won't know how much work is needed until the engine is apart.  
    • I'm just shocked there's a euro driver on our roads who is thinking of other road users and not attempting to blind everyone. I wonder if Prank uses his indicator too...
    • Its hard to tell really. The Q50 owner's forum talks about it a lot and has quite a few people directly affected, but no idea what % of cars sold actually had the block replaced. Also, there seem to be 2 distinct issues which both get diagnosed by Infiniti as requiring a block replacement (no wonder they are going broke) 1. "Porous block" where coolant mixes with oil through thin or poorly cast parts of the block 2. Head coolant gallery plugs not sealing. If I was noticing engine coolant loss I'd start with cooling system pressure test (as always) and then I'd pull the cam covers and reseal the coolant gallery plugs on both side before worrying about a potentially porous block.  If neither of those did the trick it would be put in a second hand engine out of japan; I haven't checked pricing but I'm sure there are plenty around by now as they've been in production 10+ years
