Hi all,

I am planning to buy a pair of worn headlights and remove the lenses, to try to see how it looks on my GTR.

As I understand it the S1 headlights have sealed beams and the S2 don't (mine is a S1)

So it is possible....pls confirm or laugh

I also think the GTR headlight is different to the GTST.

Can someone please confirm this as I'm now shopping for a set and need to know if I'm restricted to looking at GTR one's.

Also how do you think it will look???

I'm mid way through a project of this nature now. I have gotten a set of GTS-T S1 lights to go on my S1 GTR. As I understand, I think it will just need some spacers - e.g. GTS-T lights can go on GTR but not vice versa. Hopefully someone can confirm.

The lights I pulled apart are not sealed at all. The glass lenses just clip onto the plastic without any o-rings or rubber grommets. I'm still contemplating how I will seal up the high beam cause I'm retro fitting a projector in the low beam side.

Yes for 1 (firmly hold them in place) but I doubt #2 - there is still a small gap that isn't sealed so water/moisture could get in.

Also, one lens is on the inner shroud and the other is on the light itself. So very different set-up on the two lights.

s1 headlight covers are usually sealed with black sikaflex...anyway lenseless headlights are horrible...so im just gunna laugh :laugh:

Yeah maybe horrible

That's why I'm thinking of buying a cheap pair so I can put my good one's back if it is.

But just thinking of ways to break up/change/enhance the front end of my white GTR

It's just me getting bored.

The surrounds do look nice and shiny black underneath that cover

you mean the outer lense or the inside lense? as far as I know gtr and s1 lights are identical...

oi got some s1 lights here in pieces if you want some pics of anything

I think mounting parts are the only difference between S1 GTST and GTR.

From limited research, not a hard changeover

Do you have 2 for sale cheap?

      C-red tuning?

      Seemed to be good when Jeff owned it but they did a shit job on my car, probably worth a think before spending 10's of thousands of dollars where they might be cutting corners

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
