Ah great i found a picture of that car too!!! It's nice to see some different kits made for the GTR, coz it's really hard to make a GTR look more modern, unlike the supras they are really easy to dress up!

Here's another two interesting kit dat i found on www.carsales.com.au. I can't believe that R32 are selling like below 25k now! must be the work of the 15 yr rule. grrrrrr

I was under the impression that Autostyle were never going to sell them as a kit seperately. Instead they just fit them to THEIR cars......fullstop.

Ring em and ask though. Might be worth confirming this.

actually Autostyle's GTR started out as a GTSt innit I read something like that in the Autospeed writeup?

Also for the S14

anyways the headlights are made by a mob called Infinity in japan. we've contacted them and after a LOT of pleading and begging and international phone calls we've found a set of R32 ones to pull moulds off :P so yeah who wants a copy when we get aaround to makin em?

Infinity have ceased production of this product and absolutely refuse to make any more... bah humbug... was after these things for the last few years, was quite surprised to see em show up on a Autospeed article. And contacting autostyle is futile, they absolutely refuse to make copies for anyone.

since then i've grown less n less fascinated by them twin headlights, esp because they don't comply to ADR's completely lol (if you follow the rule book anyways).

Since then I've started making a prototype headlight that should have a clear glass cover (no diffuse) and still maintain twin projector style lights AND a highbeam.

I like the autostyle head light coz it reminds me of the R34 lits a bit, more rectangular shapped instead of the roundish shape. and also the colour really matches nicely. sad that's its not legal if u say so

the R33's are pretty much like that already behind the perspex, what is this about the ADR's in regards to the twin lights?

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required.

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!?
