R32 Gts4 - Restoration/rebuild

[Rekin]

N1 headlights organised (Ouch! they are NOT cheap!) also organised new indicators for the front.

interested to see what N1 headlights really look like. A lot of people call the pov-pack gtst headlights (with no projectors) N1 headlights and sell for big money. Would love to see pictures once you get them.

[Chris Rogers]

I used a N1 to get them. should be the pov spec lights with brackets though as there are only two types of lights I can actually see in FAST. . at $750 a pop they will have special nuts holding them on..

[Boss-zilla]

I thought (when i looked into it years ago) the housing that had the moulded bracket's (for the grill) were gtst and the house that doesnt, but you can get a metal holder that screws on, were the N1 ones? or was it the other way round *confused look on face*

Other than that they look identical.

projector had the mounts (GTST-GTR) - non projector (GTS/N1 ) did not have them. been looking at both types and the GTS lights grew on me so I bought a new set. I have a set of projectors as well that someone can keep

And this is were it gets confusing.

My first R32 gtst had the non-projectors in it and im sure they had the mounts! ill try and find a photo. i am doubting myself now and saying im wrong because you have looked at the part numbers and it only lists the 2 styles.

[Chris Rogers]

I will pull the diagrams. easier.

[Chris Rogers]

Ok,

Donor car

N1 LIGHTS

Does that help. the projectors already have the mounts in place. the non projectors do not.

I will probably use that car to pull a few other bits as well. things like air guides, oil coolers and the side skirts.

FYI I ordered fig #s 26010 & 26060 so I get everything required to mount them.

yep non proj is what it had but im sure it had the mount (intergrated not seperate). Forgot to check the photo's last night try and remember to night!

Don't forget there were 2-projector styles as well as the N1.

Pre 91 has the ring around the projector.

Post 91 doesn't.

[Chris Rogers]

ahh - did not know that. ta!

[jiffo]

You could also check the bulbs.

The aluminium bulb mount (2-screws) differs for the projector type.

Pre 91> low H3C, high H3

Post 91> low H1, high H3

N1> high/low H4, fog H3C

[Chris Rogers]

not a lot going at the moment. moving this to where I can find it.

[Chris Rogers]

ordered a NEW sunroof motor today. the one I had redone originally died. ( it has enough torque to close the roof but not enough to start the process.)

$515

PN# 91295-01U14

suits R32 ,S15 panels. (this one is a S15 piece.)

no probs. started researching the audio for mine. going for period audio (so 90s stuff) and I have started the search for a Orion 225HCCA.

given the age of it finding a 'new' one is going to be fun.

Didn't know you found set of N1 lights, if they look same as ones i have here you'll be putting in another order for a set
