Out of curiosity I started making some inquiries about geting new lenses fabricated for r33s2 headlights. Since r32s have their clear lenses it got me thinking.

One company has asked to see the lense to give a quote, of course for this to work it would end up being a group buy and it would need to have alot of buyers, cause at a guess it wont exactly be cheap, but I'm keen to find out. It would end up being a completely clear plastic lense. probably be a vaccum formed plastic.

Does anyone in Sydney have a series 2 headlight lense or headlight spare that we can show them for quoting purposes? If your out Yennora way and have some interest you could even maybe just take them your series2 33 and show them on-car possibly. This could be a waste of time but I'm keen to find out.

I'm on the central coast so getting there during business hours is a rare opportunity.

Here's a monitor housing they have done.

Interest is good, the more the better in fact, since I feel it may cost a bit if numbers are low.

But you know what we really need, is a sample headlight or someone in their area for them to get a look at a headlight off a series 2...

somebody, anybody...

      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

      You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow
