headlight restoration kit from autobarn for about 40 bucks. takes an easy hour. sands,polishes and covers with uv protectant. lasts for years and comes up like show room quality.

have used it on 2 R33s.

Used this stuff on my V35 headlights and they came up like brand new

I thought I had cloudiness on the inside too, but it was 90% on the outside.

Hmmmmmmmmm moisture?

Is there any yellowing on the outside or anything looks like it could be on the outside?

Or does it really just look like moisture on the inside?

If you got aftermarket headlights just get them calibrated to point properly and don't use hid that is too bright. id hope you'd be sweet with the cops. but im sure some dick would come along.

Yeh, im still on my Ps and driving a V so thats not a good starting point, i even went into the RTA and asked them if i could drive it on my Ps and they said yes its not ont he list of prohibited cars so i was like sweet, then a few months later i find its on the RTA site in small print but i think that was added after i bought the car cauz i checked the site also, and the updates to the site where done recently as per there last update at the bottom of the page. But anyways im off Ps on friday so nock on wood to not have any issues b4 then. But i really need a solution to the head lights soon as im about to have the ken style kit installd and its gona look hot but the lights will be a turn off for me in the present condition.

No yellowing at all, it just looks like it has clouds of moisture on the inside i mean the covers are weatherd but no distinct yellowing of them

I would love just to get the lights below and fit them with the xenon bulbs but i think i would need ballasts for that im not to sure as im not up to speed with the lights on the cars

to get rid of the yellowness, i just wet rubbed mine with 1000 then 2000 grit paper, then used plastic polish. about $7 total outlay, yellow is gone. now im just left the internal foggyness like youre talking about.... which shows up baaad with HID's. dont know how you will fix this, but i am building new custom headlights to kill 2 birds with one stone...

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.

      It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.

      Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!

      Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
