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.

RedLineGTR: you got a pic of that white skyline from the front??

just wanted to see what it looks like

Sorry i dont :D that car acutally had some dickhead rip one of them off the car didnt get a change to get a photo prior to the incident. Cheers Rob

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

ok here it is, i rushed alot and only did the left one as i accidently sprayed the wrong side of the right eyelid, rushing.

feedback please

as you can notice, its already dark outside but i wanted to see what you guys thought

Sorry i dont :) that car acutally had some dickhead rip one of them off the car didnt get a change to get a photo prior to the incident. Cheers Rob

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.

theyre actually my spot lights, i rewired my parkers to be my indicators, they change 7 colors, from autobarn.

matrix lights.

i have made the new ones more angular and they look awesome, just waiting for the paint to dry, then i'll post pics

    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
