it does take long to build retros... mine still aren't done lol.

 

Haha be prepared to wait.

 

These look super decent.

Apollo 2.0s with mini h1s and halos. Flat black paint. Made by mkulrey.

The man does not appear to have the finest customer service, but as far as quality product he does seem to deliver.



I love matts car by the way lol

 

Also... inb4riceburner sticker aquired... uh-oh, this build just got serious :O

 

I should have bought them and tried to flip em. Oh well, you can if you please lol

 

Idk man i might just wanna keep em after all lol! Was likely gonna spend the same or less amount in parts for making new ones but i garauntee my work wont be that great. Just tired of fogging problems.

 

Fogging sucks! Hope those don't give you any problems.

 

The more times you take headlights out of their intended position and mess with them the greater chance you are going to have of fogging.

 

yep :/

i would LOVE to take these apart just to spray the shroud silver but it wouldn't be worth it lol.

 

Yea not worth messing with them. Ideally you want to only take them apart 1 time. More then that you are stretching the plastic and not filling all the holes 100%. I've seen great quality retros that have fogged, just the risk you take.

 

Best way to put them back together, especially if taking them apart multiple times, is to go to the Nissan dealership and buy a roll of headlight sealant. It is $44, but it will do couple sets of lights usually. Break off a piece, stretch it out so it fits in the groove nicely, and then obviously put them in the over and do the normal re-sealing/pushing back together process.

 

Inra... i want those es2's... pleeease

 

TRS has the same stuff for about 20 and they sell the silica gel packs. Use the fresh butyl sealant and a few gel packs and fogging problems gone

 

GEL PACKS! really! where do you put those in there? behind the reflective bowl or something?

 

They are sold already lol along with my lowering springs. Both still on the car, but sold to a friend.

Thats good to know. I haven't done much with headlights for about 3 years now.

 

Any updates besides the inb4burner sticker?

 

Camz got sent out to him today

 

Nice! Looking forward to seeing this come together and dyno. too bad he didnt do a baseline... who are you having tune you rice?

 

I have all parts needed except a whole timing kit, head gasket and intake mani gasket. And probly a few odds and ends.

Josh is working on the head still but i expect to have it before i starting pulling the car apart.

We have 4 different valvespring tools at our shop can one of those work instead of renting a jmoore deal


Will be dynotuned at performance autowerks by matt (omiotec)

 

Nice! So you will get a dyno too?

 

Correct

 

Hoping for hockeyman like numbers for you!

 

Itll be over 9000

 

Prob not.

The J-tool is designed for our cars and a few other gm cars. It's the way the springs sit in the head that makes the j-tool (kent moore) or goodson spring compressor a must.

Those standard spring compressors you see at advance auto and such will not work. Prob the ones you have at the shop.

 

i was going to buy those.... i had it all lined up for when i got back from tennessee
