Pasak, i think youve done a very good job! dont do the one that RedlineGTR is talking about cause they look shit. i think the only thing you should change from your original design is to make the bottom edge more angled towards the grill. like what Hotsky posted, but not as much angle as that. only a little more than the original.

this is my r33 with the eye lids that came with it when i bought it

They dont look too bad, but the problem with alot of eyelids is that they look good if you look straight at the car but as soon as you look at it from a angle they look weird and dont go with the car. This is my opinion not bagging anyones ideas or eyelids they have on thier car.

Everyone had thier own opinon, Pasak wanted some photos and i have him some to muck around with never had a knife to his head to say these are the best eyelids and dont make any other ones. My suggestion for these is that the fact that they use nearly 100% of the headlight in thier design as compaired to something that only covers 70%, if you know what i'm getting at. Anyways My 2 Cents.

wil there be a heating issue with them made in steel?? ie with teh lights on?? then again there is a layer of paint over it so that could be enough insulation??

good effort though.....always nice to have a lazer cutting machine on hand:D:D

i spent all day redesigning the eyelids, dont worry, still have the original ones on file, but i copied the look redlinegtr showed me.

i just got home, gonna spray them now, and hopefully they dry before dark so i can post a pic of them

i'll make a whole bunch of different designs, better than working, this way im getting paid to do shit to my skyline.

by the way, the money sux. and i cant wait to get out of there and into IT, but at least ive made the most of it.

ive been cutting stuff for my car for years, stereo brackets, fog light brackets, whatever, whenever i want. thats about the only good thing about it

yes some asshole decided he wanted one of em off my car but he only managed to break half of 1 off, so i had to remove it anyway. I just havent got around to getting a new one yet.

Mine are made from fiberglass and were were made in melbourme. I got em around 2 years ago and i think remember paying around $140 or so for the pair painted to match the car. No spray can paint proper paint by panel beater.

You should epoxy them on or otherwise they are 2 easy to pull off

i think that the problem with the r33 headlights is that they look a bit "sleepy" eyed. compared to say the r34 which is more angular and looks more aggresive. perfect example is how tough the new honda odessey looks :)

thats why i said that you shouldnt follow the curve of the headlights. would be better to get rid of the curve and make them look more angular. but not too much.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
