ok here's how it breaks down:

the N1 model was a GTR that was sold predominantly for use by shops to make race cars. so it came with no air con or heavier projector type headlights etc.

so you have:

S1 R32 - Povo Pack headlights (what you've got)

These came standard on all R32's (GTR and non GTR) in the first series

S1 R32 - Projector headlights

These were factory optional upgrades

S2 R32 - Povo Pack headlights (same as S1)

These came on GTS, GTSt, GTS4, GTE and GXi models standard

S2 R32 - Projector headlights (similar to S1's but the plastic moulding around the projector are slightly different)

These were equipped on Type M's, Type G's, Type S's etc and all GTR's, and available as factory optional upgrades.

ALL GTR's had a grill and not an extended bonnet lip, so they needed some way to hold these grilles in. Therefore they made allowances on BOTH pov pack and projector headlights for metal clips to hold the grilles in.

N1 GTR's, being equipped with stock pov pack headlights (which were usually turfed and replaced with a fibreglass or CF panel or duct of some sort) had these clips on them.

Therefore N1 GTR headlights are actually pov pack headlights with GTR clips.

So I hope that clears up the confusion. Anything else you may come by is custom made, be it by Nismo or any other company.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By MBS206 · Posted

      The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.

      No worries at all 🫡 I think the most satisfying things to make are the little bits that are just impossible to find or they're no longer manufactured. Generally I always try to replace parts with OEM wherever possible. This little project is also great because it'll never see the light of day, but strengthen these brackets so it's not just relying on the little standard screws in the headlight plastic. As soon as I saw the standard brackets and screws I thought, "well I'm not going to install with just the screws, the plastic tabs will just snap off". It's crazy how expensive everything has become yeah. But I suppose that's supply and demand; granted it's a lot easier to get brand new genuine parts these days which is fantastic 😊, I don't have to get totally reamed at the local Nissan dealer ha ha We sure are lucky we have all these manufacturers making parts these days, a few really great Australian companies too like Platinum Racing Products and Fit Mint Automotive, what a time to be alive ❤️ . I've got my eye on the RB26 head by PRP as mine has a very fine hairline crack, so that'll need to be addressed some time in the future. If you have any requests or odd things to make feel free to let me know and I can have a crack at making replacement parts ✌️

      Thanks for sharing this, and BTW if your headlights are in good condition they are worth thousands....you might want to consider replacing them with brand new LED ones like this (https://www.nengun.com/78works/full-led-headlights-r32-skyline) and making enough profit to buy a house in Sydney

      I'm not sure what sort of shops are nearby, but I'd expect any reasonable exhaust shop could put a cat in it that will not restrict the power that engine makes. Otherwise, if you want to remove it, short lengths that replace the cat are readily available online, search for "de-cat pipes" or "test pipes"
