I've been thinking maybe i want some eyelids for my car but not sure about the ones on ebay. I like the look of these ones (attached) but never seen them for sale anywhere...can someone help me out on where to find these or does someone make them perhaps. I really like the fact they go to the bottom corner of the light and not just straight across.

Thanks

the only thing i don't like about the ebay ones is they make it the car look 'sleepy' where as these have a more of an agression look to them. but this is not the only car i have seen them in other photos, what would be involved in making a set?

I have these that I have taken off and are lying around. Obviously they are silver made of fiberglass and can be attached with silastic.

I know they are not exactly what your after but PM me if your interested in them and we can arrange something.

i want them because the top of my headlights are slightly damaged, and this would cover them, i have the same front kit as that GTR and looking at getting a vented bonnet. I'm trying to make the car look different cuz too many ppl do the same thing.

I agree with all bout making the car look clean as i am very fussy with what i put on my car. No stickers, none of this black and white 2 tone. If it looks off then it won't be going in/on the car.

Ok, well I've been working on a kind of Eye-lid project for a few weeks on my 33 GTR. I don't mind the front of the headlights but just think the sides don't look as good as say the R34 or silvia/s200 headlamps because the sides just droop down.

Since the R33 sides are so big, I thought OK I will make some "Side Lids" to reshape.

After lots of paint issues getting paint to stick to aluminum, here is one side done. I have to say it didn't turn out the way I thought it would when I visualised it in my mind. So I'm looking for honest critique here. Does it make them look better or does it just make me look like a tool trying too hard. Be honest, I can take it.

not really much involved, glad wrap a headlight and apply the fibreglass to it. let it dry off and then take them off the headlight. final shape them with a grinder and paint to suit ur car.

Not a bad attempt. But it looks like something that belongs more on a prelude/civic/lancer... My GTR is almost identical and it had the normal eyelids on it when I got it, but after sanding back and cleaning up the headlights from yellow haze it looked alot better with them off. Good work at having a go though.

Yeah, well I pulled it off this morning before I drove to work. Thought I'd look at it with a fresh outlook in the morning and well - it just doesn't give the effect I wanted.

Maybe will try some angel eye highlights instead.

its a matter of personal preferance i guess. i got them to be different as i havent seen one getting around my area with them. im fitting them when i repaint the car to give it a while new look. mine dont go the whole way down the side of the light i think they look lame mine just go back to the edge to a point

so if you like them really does it matter about others opinions?

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
