I currently have the S1 projectors (no extra clear plastic over parker lights) on my gtst but i cant adjust the lights anymore as they just keep falling back down when i hit a bump. Im going to get new ones but need to know which ones would be best for me. I like the look of the S2 projectors and also the N1's. If i was to get the N1's, would my wiring and globes fit straight in? Also i have an Mspec so would my current fog light wires plug straight into the foggys on the N1?

Or should i just get the S2 projectors. Hopefully straight swap, same globes.

Cheers for any info.

Oh, i will be purchasing one or the other from just jap, so if they read this and have any info that would be great too.

There's no such thing as N1 headlights, you either have poverty pack headlights (apparently N1's), series 1 projectors or series 2 projectors. Also, no such thing as an M-Spec R32. So I'm guessing you just confused the crap out of everyone with your post, hence no replies.

What you want to know is if you can upgrade to S2 projectors, or downgrade to poverty pack headlights on your S2 R32 GTSt Type M (which for some reason has S1 headlights? How does a 93 model R32 end up with S1's, the transition was in mid 1992).

The answer is yes you can, but you'll need to splice the right sockets for the bulbs as the bulbs are different between all 3 sets and your foglights.

Ahh, i meant type m, sorry. Yeah, a bit suss with the s1 headlights on a 93 model. The front bar is also a different shade of burgundy too, so im guessing it was in an accident before i bought it or something. Was from an importer so must have been done in japan?. Anyways thanks for the info. Basically no matter what i change to, there will be extra work involved.

I did a search and found the thread on the povo pack explanation but nothing on changing over to them. Thanks again.

Well if the lights were changed over before, you might be lucky and have both plugs that you need to upgrade back to S2 projectors. Might be worth checking behind the headlight.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      Just be warned that that turbo will not be a direct re-fit to the car. The exhaust housing is, of course, in the same place. It has to be - it's bolted to the exhaust manifold. So the dump will fit up. But the centre housing is not as long, so the comp housing will move backwards. This will affect both the turbo inlet and the outlet. There is fab work that needs to be done. Yes. it has one, it should have one. Paper gasket.

      Exhaust silencers/varex exhausts

      By PotatoCake · Posted

      I only recently purchased the vehicle, it came with the flex setup but the current tune is e85 only, which is why im wanting to get the tune redone to enable a mixture.  First i need to get the exhaust redone tho. I was thinking of getting a varex muffler but it sems they dont fit well in the 33 (hang low because of the valve mechanism which sticks out on top) and generally dont sound good. So that leaves me with redoing the entire exhaust (more resonators and mufflers) so its not a menace when i come and go from home, and then have the aes dump valve somewhere along the line to really open it up. I was thinking of having it before the cat but after seeing how insanely loud it will be (on a vl turbo) im thinking of putting it more towards the rear of the car, after one of the resonators.

      At this point I'm just 'hoping' it's the turbo seals. I did speak to someone who said it's normal for these turbos to have a bit of axial play? Not gonna lie I've never checked a turbo for axial play before but you could hear it tapping a bit as I moved it back and forth. Surely that's too much? My theory is (could be completely wrong), bad axial play, worn bearings, bad seals, oil into dump/compressor side, burns in exhaust = blue smoke. On a timing belt related note, my crank pulley was missing that front plate that sits in front of the timing belt. It's that metal round plate. It did have the rear one, and the woodruff keys are in the crank which was nice. Can anyone confirm if the NEO det engine has a front plate, im sure it would to protect the front of the timing belt or something. Water pumps...the pump I got was an NPW (yes grill me if I should've got a genuine one lol). It has a smooth mating surface, kit came with a pretty pathetic looking paper gasket. Do I need to use any RTV or just trust the gasket will work because its a smooth mating surface? Cheers legends have a good Easter break!

      Cheers man, I thought the same.   Bit of an update on it all. It was definitely blue smoke, not grey after all. It didn't really smell oily but it was blue after all. Also puffing just the smallest amount on idle with no throttle.   I ended up pulling the intake and exhaust off and there was around 3mm of axial play on the turbo shaft. So I figured we'll that's buggered and sent it off to get hi-flowed at hypergear. Haven't got it back yet.   I haven't compression tested it yet. Had a look in the cylinder and cylinder 1 spark plug, looked a bit sooty but not oily. Then I've just started doing my timing belt because it's age is unknown.

      In that case it is probably stock. It lives in the navigator side footwell behind the plastic trim just in front of the a pillar.
