I have JDM Kouki headlights, but NEED USDM headlights.

Anyone want to trade?

qwerth · 02-05-2012, 02:02 AM

got a quick question

i need to run a 12 or a 15mm spacer

is it safer to get bolt on spacers and shave/grind the studs
or
is it safer to get slip on spacers with extended studs

both hub eccentric of course

Why do you NEED USDM ones? I have a pair but the left one has broken plastic.

I can't really believe in all the time of owning these things that I truthfully never knew (or noticed) the difference. Thanks, as I kinda thought it was all forum folklore LOL.

Edit: Gotta play by the rules

Greddy lip repair, thank you GM painters tape. Hitting curbing insta-cracks them.

240drifter1 · 02-05-2012, 09:39 AM

When spooled told me those lips crack like glass he wasnt kidding, I lost my on the interstate, well half of it. lol It wasnt even cracked and I didnt hit anything.

jdmjimmy · 02-05-2012, 09:56 AM

thats a kouki cluster no?? the zenki ones are black (ive had both)

240drifter1 · 02-05-2012, 11:49 AM

Nope, base model clusters are black. Se's are white face gauges. That up theres a zenki se clutster, see how the tach isnt a perfect circle? Kouki clusters both are perfect circles.

240drifter1 · 02-05-2012, 11:51 AM

Kouki SE cluster

MadScientist · 02-05-2012, 12:03 PM

IIRC... you can't plug and play between Zenki and Kouki Clusters... this is a easy dead give away on any Zenki to Kouki conversion.

I prefer the Black face clusters... I have not found a Black face JDM kouki base cluster yet... I just need the Tach!! anyone???

240drifter1 · 02-05-2012, 12:10 PM

What would make the zenki and kouki clusters different with the plugs?

My blue kouki was a base model, switched everything to SE. Ive got a zenki cluster here at the house and iirc I didnt see anything different.

240drifter1 · 02-05-2012, 12:13 PM

This was before starfire blue paint, 5-lug, jdm shit, etc.

lowered her some more. lolz

Bone stock with pbm coils, and a welded. Funnest car ever. haha Felt like a missle.

upsdude · 02-05-2012, 12:13 PM

kouki cluster has a slight variation in wiring iirc. i considered putting in a kouki cluster in my zenki and ran into that issue, so i said eff it i'll just put in the s15 cluster lol

silviaks2nr · 02-05-2012, 01:09 PM

base model cluster

I kind of prefer the black gauges

Whats all this SE talk I only know Q'S + K'S models and as far as I understood white dials=kouki black=zenki on japanese models none of this 240 stuff now saying that im up for correction and have a funny feeling my dials are zenki with aftermarket white dials!

Well wouldnt Q's be base model and K's be like a higher up model silvia?

Do Q's come with black gauges? Hell shits prolly different over there.

Q'S (meanung Queens model) is non turbo K's (meaning Kings model) is turbo Hi spec with upgraded anti roll bars,suspension,differential (iirc) amongst other stuff but dash dials would be the same

There was also a j's (Jacks model sporting a ca18) but I think this wwas only s13 models..

any s14 owner should be ashamed not knowing the above lol

upsdude · 02-05-2012, 01:55 PM

krappy · 02-05-2012, 02:06 PM

white and black faces do not mean zenki and kouki.
