are the grill mounts detachable for the n1 headlamps? or are they moulded to the housing? iv seen some n1 types that have the mounts and some doesnt have it..attachicon.gifimages.jpgattachicon.gifpicture008g.jpg

With mounts = R32 GTR N1 headlights, to secure front grill.

Without mounts = R32 GTS-T headlights.

This is not entirely correct.

No the standard GTS-t's did not have the clips for the grill, although they did have screw holes for an option to fit the brackets (which were metal) for a GTR style grill. You can get these through NISSAN. So any reflector style (N1 style) headlights that have the brackets which are held on by screws and are removable, are NOT genuine N1s.

The genuine N1s have the brackets which are plastic and are molded into the body of the headlight itself. These are NOT removable.

Sorry Damien but that is not accurate.

(OO)SKYLINE(OO) is right.

Genuine N1's do not come with plastic brackets molded into the headlight. Standard R32 projector type headlights do.

If you were to source N1 (Zenki) Headlights from Nissan they come with metal brackets that are bolted each N1 headlight.

GTS'ts have N1 type headlights without brackets and can sometimes fool people that they are genuine N1 headlights.

I have both sets (with N1 recently purchased) be more than happy to post up pics for comparison.

Hey Ant,

I spoke to Kudos (SAU trader) about 6 months ago about this same thing as i was after genuine Zenki N1s, and he supplies them direct from NISSAN Japan, and he assured me the brackets were molded plastic (like the GTR projectors) and are part of the body and not removable. This is what distinguishes the difference between the N1 and the GTS items.

I did a fair bit of research into this as i was searching for a set myself, and i found a lot of conflicting information and could not get a straight answer, so i spoke to a specialist who deals in new original Nissan parts.

Ill ask someone on here who i know purchased a set through them so i can get a straight answer and ill let you guys know.

i prefer my projectors ;)

i wonder why they never moulded the braket on?

Well I have both. So change it when I want :yes:

No idea why N1's were not molded on - maybe it was in case they got damaged in racing it was easier to fix up :closedeyes:

      Pillar gauges

      See, that button sounds like perfection Duncan! My eyes really don't like light shining at them from a dash when I'm driving. Being part red colourblind, I've found for most cars that I can change colours on, I set everything to red, so my eyes see the elast amount of colour! I miss normal gauges in cars

      bro, knowing the Japanese in  the 90's, i wouldn't be surprised if they shared components across their model lineup.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Maaaan so many "little" things  i rly hope my old RB20 would be "ok" and not too bad. I try to learn what and what not do i need. I look at crossmember at it looks different...even parts numbers are different. Wiring and all that i rly do not know...yeah someone mentioned the speedo thing. On that yoke clip. I rly do not know what can and cant be done "custom" so that is why iam asking to know and not be suprised 🙂  I know what it looks like

      Oh, there's also the gearbox crossmember which will probably be different between the small box and the big box, and the wiring loom will probably need to be modified, because the plugs for the switches etc, will probably be different. And I think the speedo on the small box R34s is from somwhere stupid, like the diff, possibly, so you'd need to work out what needs to be done about that (assuming it is different). I think the thing you need to realise is that the front end of that yoke is a large hollow tube with splines on the inside that mates with the splines on the box's output shaft. It is a dedicated thing - not available "aftermarket". They were made to suit that box, by the car's OEM.
