no chance you will beable to find any aftermarket lights for them... they were never real ricer cars.
Your best bet for something different is the R32 tail light conversion or clear indicator import spec.  Or if you feel really keen, make your own somehow with a bit of creativity.

A guy in vic a few years ago started an angel eyes (bmw style) conversion which looked awesome but would take a lot of work to finish off nicely.

some of the 80's 90's b.m.w 3 series (i think)  headlights look like they may fit the pintara. thought about turning them upside down for the corsair. haven't physically compared though.
the words "race car" spelled backward still spell "race car"?

The BMW E36 headlights are super close to U12.. basically just change over the wires and you'd be set... but they are about $250 a set.

I have confirmed from the outside... Obviously I couldnt see how deep they are under the bonnet, but the exterior seems a perfect fit.  From Ebay pics etc they dont look too much deeper than stock U12 lights.
S13 lights are a bit harder to fit than I originally thought.  They are heaps wider and 2/3 the height obviously, but are deeper too, only positive is that the plugs are a direct fit.

i'm not sure that they will fit either the corsaair or the pintara. it looks like it wouldnt accomodate for the cornering lights... someone prove me wrong though  ;D

the E36 lights will fit the pintara but they aren't neat about it

you have to modify the brackets a little and then get a shorter grille as the pintara one is too wide (look same era maxima) and even then they don't line up properly with the bonnet line
