does the car have aftermarket suspension? Lowered? My r34 came with factory option bilsteins and It handles and rides like a dream.

Regarding the headlight, if you mean the dome bubble thing that distributes the light from the parker, as far as I know you'd either need a whole new headlight or open your existing one up then glue the cover back on, there's a tutorial somewhere on the forum that shows you how to open it up because a lot of guys on here get a chalky build up on the inside of their headlights

good luck,

welcome to the forums

Thanks alot for the info, and yeh, my car has TEIN suspension and its quit bumpy sometimes.. anyway, i will try to search the forum for the tutorial.

cheers

Depending on what type it is, majority of coilovers come with varying levels of damping adjustment and let you adjust the damping setting with a dial on the top of the struts

In saying that too a coilover will almost always seem harsher to ride on than a traditional shock and spring, on the upside your car will seem like it's riding on rails if setup is properly done

You might already know all of this already, but I don't know your personal technical knowledge

cheers,

Yeh, i am still playing around with my suspension setting to make the car goes better, i had the cover clipped back in but after one drive, its out again, this is pissing me off...... will try to glue it in this weekend, hopefully can get it in place, coz i dont wanna put the headlights in the oven.... :P

how did you get inside to clip the cover back on?

Put your headlight into an oven, SAFELY heat it and clip it back on.

If you aren't confident, then DONT do it lol, they are worth too much to be playing around with them.

Take it to a headlight specialist that clean lenses, they'd know how, and maybe get them to clean the lense whilel they are at it lol

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
