where is that place?

please PM me the details of them thank you!

cheers

I'd like to know this too.

I cant imagine it'd be cheap! Those things are made using moulds, i dont think it'd be easy to just take your old lens in, and get them to "knock up a new one" !

I'm sure there is a place ... a spray painter friend of mine told me about it one night when I was winging to him about wanting new lights cause of how dodgy mine are ...

i'll give him a call ... see what he says ... I don't think I'm dreaming it up but you never know :ermm:

hey ... I spoke to my mate ... the name of the shop is plastiques or plastics <--- something like that ... there in Arncliffe NSW ... he reckons you can get them made up for between $100-150 each >_< (which ain't to bad really)

Apparently you either take your lenses/ lights in to them or send them in and they will have them ready in a day or so ...

hope this helps you guys

Could this be the one? Someone local wana give em a call?

oh my god sorry i've just read the entire thread you guys are retards like unbelievable!!!!

ok, the reason your lights look like ass on the inside is cos of corrosion from the elements, it happens,

drilling a hole in your light will allow more water vapour into your lights thus making the matters worse as condensation builds, not to mention cause your headlight globes to blow due to condensation / oil residue on in your headlight unit...

so please, silicon seal this back up and admit you stuffed up. cut your losses, and start again with a wiser idea...

you must now take the headlight apart,

all you need is 80degree heat and 8 minutes max, check it, you should be able to wedge the tip of a butterknife in to get you started... if it's still not budging, put it back and check, use the buter knife to get you started then gently GENTLY GENTLY pry the unit apart with your big manly hands.

if your oven won't fit it then use a hairdryer / heatgun, once you've got it apart, polish it all up with a plastics polish, make sure you do this by hand otherwise you will melt the delicate nature of the plastic.

once it's clean on both sides, reseal the unit all back together by DELICATELY using a silicone sealant or sikaflex...

don't stuff this up, if you're worried you're going to stuff it up then don't do it... MAKE SURE THE UNIT IS 100% sealed before it goes back, and remember, as with all glue and sealant, LESS IS MORE

DON'T OVER DO THIS.

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
