Anyone done this themselves?

Just looking for some tips on getting the moulding right etc

Doesn't seem like a hard job, and I'm rather familiar with fibreglass, but knowing me I'll stuff something vitally important

and just like that, it became a group buy haha...

So is one st being made and then MOULDS now? seeing as so many peoplewant tem, is it worth getting them made by a body kit shop and paying that lil extra?

How familiar are you with FG, oddy? what do you think? Otherwise the pressures on you to make like 10 set haha

Ahah sudden group buy!

When I say I'm familiar with FG, it means I've used it before (made a parcel shelf, rolled guards on an ae86, basic frontage on sub box)

I was going to wait til I could buy some paint but pressure's on now, if only I could get days off from work

I might make a few sets at the outset (I dont have access to an S2 yet) and bog/prime them smooth and send em out for you to paint yourselves (if they come out good).

Having said all of this they might turn out dodgy as, but I'll likely post a step-by-step as I go so I can narrow down how it went.

Time frame at this stage will be a couple of weeks - I work 80 hours a week so I gotta wait for a day off

Slow your roll - I'll keep you updated!

give me some time and i might have a go, my old man used to do fibreglass boats for a living so he knows his way around fibreglass and making moulds. Ive made a cold air duct for the stock bumper before and than turned out great, im sure the eyelids wouldnt be that difficult, ill post more when i have a better look at the car and some spare time.

Check Howies topics, he made a tutorial with his R34 eyelids

Here's the linky for those interested.

I was about to throw up another fibreglass repair diy article (repairing a front splitter using glass) soon.

meanwhile if anyone else wants to have a crack at making some eyelids too (someone with an S2?)

feel free.

It can't be THAT hard!

How much do eyelids retail for anyway?

From slidewize the one I linked before shipped to our doorsteps is 175 dollars via EMS, 160 via container. Then you need to put money aside to get them painted. It all adds up :D

Better off making them at that price! :D

not sure i haven't checked as i dont have a S1...

here is a link - click the seller's name and check for S1 maybe :) as he sells for all kinds of cars.

They are perfect!!! I want them - but the only prob is - that page is all Japanese and I have no clue on how to purchase or see how much shipping will be....

have you got a English translated link by any chance...??

Edited by FULOCK
you right click - and it should say 'translate this page to english' OR go to google, language tools, select japanese to english and paste the link.

OR alternatively i can source them for you and a price delivered

:)

that worked :D now, 3000yen is approx $30 yeah??

whats this mean exactly: (Shipping nationwide uniform 630 yen (excluding Outlying Islands)

代引手数料 ¥525 Pulling handle 525 yen's fee)

is that the shipping costs.....??? pulling handle...??

how much would it all cost delivered to Melbourne??

    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
