hi guys,

for a while now i've wanted eyelids for my r33, but didnt want to fork out the cash.

I work as a laser operator and i can cut what ever i need which is great, today i was bored so i decided to see if i could cut some eyelids for my car. i worked on it here and there all day, and finally came up with something, i dont think they look too bad, but i want opinions and advice from you guys.

it's been cut out of 0.6mm steel so its flexible to bend around the headlight.

i've only made 1 so far to see how it would look, got home, sprayed in a gloss black to roughly match the car to get to see what it would look like.

i'll make more of an effort once i have the final product and shape perfected.

anyway, let me know what you's think

Still looking for some decent photos. This one I dug up but since the car is white the eyelids almost blend into the guards (makes them hard to see).

Don't know if you can see what I’m getting at but they continue around/along the side where the parker part of the headlight is.

i get what you mean.

havent seen them like that before, but it would take me 2 mins to alter it like that, might make a few different sets, see what people think/like...

the bigger the size you can post the better so i can zoom in close.

Let me drive: i wont be able to paint them for you, as i dont have access to paints that will match your car, but as soon as i have perfected it i might put them in the for sales section, in bare metal. then you can apint them yourself

thanx alot for all your feedback, but more is appreciated and pics too.

one more thing: if anybody actually has proper eyelids and can be bothered, could you pls trace the outline of the eyelids so i can get an exact eyelid shape to go off.

that shouldnt be a problem.

looks easier, only problem is i need the car here at work or at least the headlight to work off, or a stencil/trace of the original eyelid.

im currently working on the yelid that redlinegtr mentioned, the one that curves all the way round the headlight. im almost finished.

as soon as i get home i'll spray it, put it on my car and take a photo to show you guys.

hope i can finish it, to man6y bosses walking around today, hehe

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
