Hello, I just picked up a r32 gtst recently and was looking into getting some new headlights. I'm in the US, so parts aren't easy to come by yet, so I'm trying to make sure I get the right thing. The car has a gtr front end (front bumper, corners, and I believe headlights). They are the projector headlights with the rings around the projectors. Anyway, the previous owner put some cheap HID kit in and kind of hacked up the back of the lights to try and fit them in. They look pretty dumb so I'd like to just use the OEM bulbs, but am just getting new lights so I have all the needed parts and stuff (plus they are missing the clips that hold the bulbs in and such).

My question is, are pretty much any of the lights universal? Specifically the projectors (ringed or non-ringed)? I'm looking at eBay ads and the harnesses on the back look different. On my car, each bulb looks to have a separate harness that goes directly into a loom of wires for the main wiring harness. In the ads, such as the ones below, the bulb harnesses look to lead to another harness that then plugs elsewhere. Would either of these work for me, or do I need something specific? Thanks for the help.

Yeah they're essentially the same. If you're worried about wiring, run your own wiring with relays and thicker wires.

Oh, and do a retrofit. Left is FX-R, right is standard projector.

      Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!

      Did the noise appear after your sand trap adventure? Could be something got dislodged and is playing rub rub. Even a rock wedged somewhere.

      Is there a shroud around the tailshaft spline into the back of the box? They can rub and make a horrible noise if they are not on straight/damaged. The heat might have caused it to grow too much in one direction and rub.

      Strangely I noticed it either disappear later in the day, or not be present. I definitely noticed when I was crawling around that open wheel thingy entering the pits (that part was audible in car). Driving home and commuting around town for example, I didn't hear it. It's plausible that it was a brake disc or something still slightly in contact. The brakes absolutely felt BAD for the first couple of sessions, huge amounts of shudder and grinding as they got up to temp - And then I actually just forgot about it as the day went on/didn't notice it. The videos were from the morning when this was more present than the afternoon/drive home when it wasn't. I've asked around and got a variety of responses including handbrake shoe contacting hub, CV joints, CB tailshaft bearing as above, and clutch input bearing. I didn't test if it disappeared when clutch was in. I haven't noticed it in any of the other videos nor did I notice it when driving to that extent. More or less hoping the microphone at the rear license plate giving some kind of clue of 'something' but it looks like "spin stuff and see if you can notice it" is the way forward here. I could be smart and use the gopro mic and re-mount it to that location to see if the sound is still present at low speed actually. Sounds like a decent test whenver I have the CBF'ness to drive the car again. Given it's almost 40C for the day of the track day and the next 3 days after, the CBF is high. All I've done since getting home is unpack the car, remove the remnants of the lip and undertray and left it there. I was surprised how well the PMU Club Racers actually worked. The brake performance on the track was absolutely fantastic, best I've ever personally used, no fade whatsoever and the bitiness was almost too good, I was scrubbing more speed off than I needed to, but I also ended up infield when I started trying to scrape off ... less speed.... so...

      Not really, no. Anything you would do is easily reversible.
