Hey,

So I just bought some carbon fibre eyelids for my r32...

What's the best stuff to fit them with? The double sided tape I have isn't working because there seems to be a slight twist in the eyelids the way they are shaped... They're different to other skylines coz the eyelid actually goes around onto the indicator as well.....

Anyone else got these eyelids fitted? What did you do to get them to stick down properly???

Is it possible to cut them where they shape around for the indicator?

you two wanna get a room? :(

lol at the shop we use black automotive silicone (the stuff that holds your windows in and seals your tail lights. they're resistant to high heat and non reactive to water and other daily use chemicals that your car might get covered in (waxes, polishes, detergents etc). They usually come in a sausage to put into a dispenser.

How easy is the liquid nails, head gasket sealant to remove the eyelids off if need be though?

I just got a pair of eyelids arrive for my 34 today, so im looking at the best way to fit it on. I read on a forum some people use double sided 3M tape (red backing) and it flew off when he was on the freeway?

Anyone else wanna share some insight?

Cheers. (Y).

Liquid nails will never come off. even if you want it to. Use Sikaflex (spelling?). You can pick it up at Bunnings in the squeezy tube. Also get a caulking gun to put it on, they're like $3. Make sure on the back it says its black in colour, I got a tube the other day and it was white. Didn't check colour first.

Good luck. Post pics of finished job or :laugh:

*Edit: Sikaflex goes like a very hard rubber when it sets, unlike liquid nails. That sh*t goes rock solid.

Can Sikaflex be removed easily if I want to take off the eyelids for whatever reason, respray etc.

So will a strong 3M double sided tape not do the job reliably or..? I just don't want the thing flying off into another car and stuff.

Rather do it right.

Dude get packmate Badge double sided tape from supercheap. far better then 3m. holds my eyelids on at 160+ so its doing pretty well. thats on a 34 aswell. and you can pull them off with no damage. I wouldnt use anything else!

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?

      Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
