apparently projector lights are better but they need to be pointed upwards so you can see 3m in front as opposed to the 2m...;)

Not sure what you mean about pearl vs clear.

Seriously the only way to make a real difference with R32 headlights is to retro fit a HID kit, unfortunately it costs a fair bit.

I noticed a definite difference with the later model projector's.

They do need to be angled up slightly as the Coco pops Killer said so his self. :cheers:

I think the lenses go clear when they are stuffed.. I had one do it on my old set of head lights. It also didn't put out as much light. Unsure really.

I also like the standards a little better.. Not the 89 model conventional types but the projector style without the ring around the outside.

With the ring around the projector it makes the head lights stand out a little too much. Looks kind of strange.

While we are on the topic of headlights does any one know of a method or some one who can recondition the silver lense? One of mine has started flaking a little. :cheers:

They're identical to the ones you pictured. My GTST had the GTR front end with the grill etc so they have the tags on the side of the lights and everything.

They are in perfect condition apart from the lens on the right head light has come loose in the corner and needs to be stuck back down. head light apart job.

      I tried my best, well I see how it is though... It's time to be ruthless! I'll up my bid with a JVC sub and an amp to run it, 8 stainless steel drink coasters with a rubber backing, and a photo of Tom Cruise. Oh, I can increase the cash portion by 20 cents if that helps.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      Or if it's grey, is it watery? Does it do it after you've been for like an hour long drive it will still do it, or just near the start of the trip? As GTS said, does it seem like oil (blue), water (white/grey) or fuel (black)? Sometimes the colour can be hard to see clearly too for what it is, as GTS says, what's it smell like?

      I wonder if part of it has to do with when you've each bought the kits. I honestly have the feeling that the silicon joiners in the 2000s were actually better quality than most of what you can find these days. Even in the same brands. Everyone racing to the cheapest price while still trying to make profit means lower quality parts. For coolant, I personally would be going with rubber, OR, converting the radiator and engine to use the huge AN fittings hose for radiators.

      Shifting questions

      By dbm7 · Posted

      If shift solenoid A is bad, that explains limp mode --- now you're in the same position as I mentioned previously, in that the next step is to confirm loom/wiring integrity from TCU to gearbox connector with a multimeter (the TCU cannot detect a broken wire, which can happen ..ie; rodent damage, loom rubbed through)...and then finally measure resistance (at the gearbox connector) for shift solenoid A ... ...once you confirm shift solenoid A is bad (open circuit, really low or greater than 40ohm resistance), then it's a job ; you have buy a complete solenoid set, get under the car and drop transmission oil pan, and remove valvebody assembly (the solenoids sit on top), replace solenoid set, and reassemble....it's not exactly a fun task, but readily doable.

      Is it oil smoke or fuel smoke? They smell different.
