So owning a skyline in Canada comes with its hoops to jump through one of those is having DOT/SAE approved headlights...

now since Skylines do not come with such headlights what is one to do...

some people have chosen to use corsica headlights, 94 accord, 95 accord, infinity j30's and some prelude lights...

there is also an option of some fugly headlights which have been DOT approved but they wont go on my car....

so all im left to do is to retro fit DOT approved lights into the stock housing.... now i would have already had this done in the first week of owning the car had the car came with the OEM stock headlight assemblies... instead my car came with the N1 style headlights and are a sought after item... they also have 10k piaa HID's but i wont be able to use them afterwards... i dont think...

the OEM headlights are projection headlights where as the N1's are not...

Now in order to retro-fit lights into the OEM headlight assembly i had to buy a set of them and that meant getting them from Japan.... it was the easiest quickest item i have ever bought online, it took 1 week to get to me... mean while my roommate is waiting over 3weeks for a comp game from the USA....

So now that i have the headlight assemblies i need to deconstruct them... first that requires i remove all the wires any rubber and any other thing i can take off.... then i place them in an oven(thats where they are as im writing this) on low heat to soften the adhesive holding the glass to the assembly... remove the glass at the right time, then remove the internals,,, then retro-fit the new lights into the assembly...

the lights i have chosen which were recommended to me by the first person who has done this are 95 camaro high beams and hella 90mm modules for low beam... i have seen these on the car and they look great and light the road better than stock...

luckily for me, the person who has first did this retro fit on there car has offered to do my lights for free, all i have to do is supply the parts and do a lil bit of prep work before i send it off to him and then he will send it back to me ready to go on as he will be test fitting and adjusting the lights on his car so i dont have to fiddle with much... ya i said it hes gonna help me out for free... however in the box im gonna add in a $50 bill so he can shipp it back to me and he can keep the change which should be around 30$ least i can do for someone whos gonna get my car legal and on the road

she arrived yesterday morning on the back of a flat bed truck, she rolled off smooth as silk and started up with a nice purr...

as my girlfriend began to walk inside, assuming that i would be just pulling into the back yard since i have yet to aquire insurance or register my new GTR, i called over to her and motioned for her to hop in... we pull away and head down a few blocks to a parking lot. i turn around with my rear end at the very end of the lot with the nose pointed into the direction of the exit. I rev the engine a few times to feel her out and release the clutch as i press down the gas, the RPM's shoot up to 6000 like nothing and i shift into 2nd, i do it again at 6000RPM and into 3rd, i let up off the gas as i look down at the speedo as i fly out of the parking lot doing just over 100kmh. giggling like a school girl... The tires didnt even break loose, i could have been going faster and made the concrete burn along with some rubber but i didnt want to get into trouble and lose my car the first day i got it so i returned the couple blocks back to my house and parked my GTR in my back yard...

Today i washed my dirty gurl and she came out looking like a dream, the wheels are flawless and look amazing, the paint has its minor flaws here and there and there is a dime sized rust spot right behind the rear wheel on the bottom... not bad for a 15yr old beauty, id rate the paint a 7.5/10 the interior 9/10 and as i have not truly been able to tap into my cars potential

Well the transaction went smooth and everything else is coming along nicely.

The GTR is currently in Vancouver BC waiting to be trucked to me in Castlegar BC. upon delivery i will be taking pictures, after that i will be driving home to place her in storage while i get her compliant with our regs. once she is compliant i will be takin her out for a drive, weather permiting of course

Stay tuned for more pics
